인류사상 가장 많은 책을 쓴 과학자로 알려진 아이작 아시모프는 1992년 4월 6일 심장병으로 타계할 때까지 5백종에 가까운 저서를 남겼다. 기네스북에 따르면 세계에서 가장 많은 저서를 쓴 사람은 5백종 이상을 펴낸 영국의 미스테리작가 존 크리지로 기록되어 있으나 과학을 비롯하여 문학과 종교에서 역사와 어린이 읽을 거리에 이르는 광범위한 분야를 넘나들면서 그처럼 많은 저서를 남긴 사람은 찾기 어렵다. 그는 분당 90단어를 타자하면서 50세가 되기 전에 1백종을 출간했으나 그로부터 저술작업에는 더욱 가속도가 붙어 다음 22년간 4백종을 더 펴냈다. 그는 이렇게 많은 저작을 하기 위해 창문의 차양을 내려 놓은 방에서 1주일동안 하루도 쉬지 않고 글쓰는 일로 지샜다. 그는 탄탄한 과학지식을 배경으로 매우 정확하면서도 누구나 쉽고 재미있게 읽을 수 있는 글을 통해 과학대중화의 측면에서는 수천명의 과학자 못지 않은 위업을 남긴 것으로 평가되고 있다. 그는 작품을 통해 오늘날 로봇이 조업하는 조립공장을 이미 1939년에, 그리고 컴퓨터혁명을 1950년에 예언했다.

In "A Good Man Is Hard to Find," Flannery O'Connor describes a striking journey of a family, in which all the members dramatically get killed. Through the tragic death of Bailey's family, O'Connor evokes the reader to think about life and the life after death. Growing up in the communities of Catholicism and Protestantism, O'Connor herself had agonized with the same question between the two types of Christian belief throughout her life. In the story, O'Connor embodies her anguish with the major characters and questions the reader about the meaning of Christian salvation. More specifically, Bailey's family represent the people who get lost in life. They live without any direction and purpose. Red Sammy and his wife, on the other hand, provide travellers with rest, food, and the necessaries. The Tower is a shelter of travellers in life; however, it is not everlasting but temporary. The Misfit, exemplifying religious stragglers, has been completely frustrated with the variance of Christian salvation theories, and no longer practices the religion but knows enough to justify his cruel behaviors. Finally, the grandmother is the manipulator and opportunist of the religion. All those characters are fragments of human characters and their life - obscene and transitory. In the story, there is little God's grace on the surface even though the writer claims "all my stories are about the action of grace." Nonetheless, the reader should be able to identify with those characters because they are the mirror images of themselves. While visualizing the characters, O'Connor wants the reader to have a moment to think about the "Righteousness," and ultimately to seek out God's grace that she essentially wishes to show the reader. Instead of showing God's grace directly, O'Connor ultimately leads the reader to consider about God and the grace as she/he reads the work.

A model based approach of tracking the limbs of a walking human subject is proposed in this paper. The tracking process begins by building a data base composed of conditional probabilities of motions between the limbs of a walking subject. With a suitable amount of video footage from various human subjects included in the database, a probabilistic model characterizing the relationships between motions of limbs is developed. The motion tracking of a test subject begins with identifying and tracking limbs from the surveillance video image using the edge and silhouette detection methods. When occlusion occurs in any of the limbs being tracked, the approach uses the probabilistic motion model in conjunction with the minimum cost based edge and silhouette tracking model to determine the motion of the limb occluded in the image. The method has shown promising results of tracking occluded limbs in the validation tests.

이 논문에서는 이동로봇의 자유로운 배회 및 목적지 찾기 행동을 위한 진화형 퍼지 제어기의 설계 방법을 제안 한다. 전체 실험공간을 장애물과 충돌없이 자유롭게 움직이기 위해서 진화연산 알고리즘을 이용한 퍼지규칙과 소속함수의 자동생성을 거친 뒤 이를 통해 전체 지도정보를 구축한다. 여러 시스템에서 응용되는 퍼지 제어기는 일반적으로 시스템을 잘 이해하고 있는 전문가로부터 구축되어 사용되어진다. 그러나 사람의 지식과 경험은 간혹 알려진 범위 내에서란 완벽하게 작동하기 때문에 그 범위를 벗어나면 오류를 범할 수 있다. 이러한 알려진 해법외의 새로운 규칙과 제어 방법을 찾기 위하여 유전 알고리즘을 이용한 퍼지규칙과 소속함수를 구축하려는 시도가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 이 논문에서도 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 이동로봇의 퍼지 제어기에 사용된 규칙과 소속함수의 최적화를 통해 견고한 퍼지 제어기를 설계한다. 이를 통해 구축된 지도정보는 로봇의 Deliberative한 행동을 위해 사용되며, Fuzzy-GA 제어기는 센서기반 Reactive 시스템에서 이용된다. 전체 실험환경의 구성부터 제안한 이동로봇 퍼지 제어기 구축과 지도 구축작업을 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

Due to the distribution of digital camera, many work for photo management has been studied. However, most work use a sequential grid layout which arranges photos considering one criterion of digital photo. This interface makes users have lots of scrolling and concentrate ability when they manage their photos. In this paper, we propose a clustering method based on a temporal sequence considering their color similarity in detail. First we cluster photos using Cooper's event clustering method. Second, we makes more detailed clusters from each clustered photo set, which are clustered temporal clustering before, using maximal clique finding algorithm of interval graph. Finally, we arrange each detailed dusters on a user screen with their overlap keeping their temporal sequence. In order to evaluate our proposed system, we conducted on user studies based on a simple questionnaire.

This work examines reemployment processes through the use of event history unemployment data in the United States. Two aspects of these processes, the duration of unemployment and changes in the reemployment rate, are modelled and analyzed in terms of individual characteristics and their structural positions in the labor market. The secondary labor market is a competitive market in which unemployment occurs because people quit their jobs to devote more time in search for better jobs. Using search theory, the rate of reemployment has a positive time dependence as the searcher lower her reservation wage with the passage of time. By contrast, the primary market is characterized by long-term employment relations which reduce voluntary turnovers but generate layoffs temporarily. Relying on contract theory, because workers on temporary layoffs wait for recall, reemployment rates have a constant time dependence. Empirical results of unemployment durations indicate that reemployment processes are influenced by individual's positions in dual labor market structures. While the analysis suggests that the amount of search reemployment seems to be positively related to the degree of competitiveness of a market, somewhat weaker results are noted in the search reemployment processes in competitive markets.

Most of the photographs or images of the present age have pixels of various colors that can not be recognized by human eyes. For a specific purpose, pixel-based image processing is inevitable rather than passive investigation using the human eye in order to find areas of color similar to the target color. In this paper, we try to detect all the pixels of the same color or the same color in the image. We will also try to find pixels within the error range that are similar in color to the color we are looking for.

Nowadays, the various developments of the CAD/CAM have been coming to realization at an intimidating speed. However, in the field of the aesthetic dentistry, the extremely natural aesthetics must be realized eventually by human hands, and for this purpose, it is considered that the endless challenges and practitioners' own beliefs are necessary. While practitioners are normally exposed to surgical methods of aesthetic restorations via domestic and foreign books and lectures, it appears that there are not many of such necessary information that is summarized for easy understanding by dental technicians. Accordingly, as a result of pondering over this matter for years, the presenter has been devising the 'Esthetic Check List' that is a guideline for the aesthetic restoration practice, and the balanced and harmonious prostheses have been produced based on this guideline. In this presentation, this protocol is introduced.

우리나라는 현재 코엑스, 백화점 같은 대형 건물들이 늘어나고 있다. 대형 건물은 실내 구조가 복잡해서 방문하는 사람들이 원하는 길을 찾기 어렵다. 기존 실외에서 길을 찾아주는 네비게이션의 발달은 단말기와 스마트폰의 발달과 함께 성장하였고, 모든 사람들이 사용할 수 있는 대중적인 서비스다. 하지만 기존 네비게이션에 위치 측정 방법인 위성 GPS신호는 실내에서는 사용이 불가해 실내 위치 측정을 위해 Wi-Fi, Beacon, Magnetic Field등 다른 기술을 사용하여 실내 위치 측정을 해야 한다. 그중에서도 이미 설치되어 있는 것을 사용하기 위해 Wi-Fi의 신호 값인 RSS값을 활용하였고, 일정하지 앉은 RSS값을 Kalman Filter와 EH Filter로 보정하여 정확한 실내 위치 측정이 된다는 것을 실험을 통해 보였다.
