The demand for messenger service goes on growing rapidly with widespread use of smartphones. Generally, the smartphone messenger provides group communication functions in which users can make the group and communicate with each other. In the mobile meeting, the attendees can participate in the meeting with use of smartphone messengers wherever they are. To make the mobile meeting put to practical use, the mobility and privacy should be ensured to attendees. To satisfy the mobility requirement, the user which is not belong to the group members should not be able to participate in the meeting. To ensure the privacy requirement, the attendees should have not to repudiate the meeting results. In this study, the mobile meeting authentication scheme is proposed which provides mobility and privacy. The proposed scheme consists of meeting group creation, group key generation, group signature and verification protocols. All attendees should have to participate in the signature verification because it is based on the challenge-response type protocol. Thus, it's not possible to collude with malicious attendees to change the meeting results.

Camps that provide students with edutainment and cooperative work experiences gain a great popularity worldwide. Accordingly, many camp programs with a variety of subjects and contents have been developed and introduced. The operations managements related to the camp, however, has not been nearly dealt with and the camp staffs in practical camp programs have had heavy burden of clerical works during the camp. To address this problem, this study designed a new operation system for clerical works in camp (OSCWC) for consistently managing associated data by its database and automatically providing camp-related documents via internet. In this study, we validated its effectiveness by applying an its web-based prototype to real data of previous camp case. The camp staffs can handle significant camp-related works and enhance the quality of camp program by reducing miscellaneous works through the use of OSCWC. As a result, the system will help to reduce total operating cost of camp.

VSATs(Very Small Aperture Terminals) have introduced new concepts in satellite business communications and are typically used in a star network configuration to provide information directly to the user`s premise. The characteristics of this system are low earth station costs, easy in stallation, compact, and very high flexibility for a varierty of applications (Credit Checks, Electronic Mail, Video Conferencing, Reservation System, Database Inquires, Order Entry, etc.). So, the requests of VSAT service have considerably enlarged. The link design of a VSAT network using Korea Sat. is discussed in this paper. This paper is intended to collect in a convient way the principle formula and reference data necessary to make overall performance calcurations and to calcurate antenna size. HPA power size and link margin of earth stations for satellite communications systems. Generally, because the antenna size of the Hub station in the VSAT system is bigger than the Remote station, the method of power allocations of inbound and outbound carriers is utilized in this paper. The size of Hub station and Remote station are assumed to be 3.7m and 1.2m. respectively.

Usability has become an important consideration for product development, and as a result, there is a growing need for systems and tools that can support usability test projects. However, few studies so far have developed such systems and tools. During a usability test project, many participants take up different roles, such as project managers, usability testers, and subjects. We implement a web-based usability test system with which a project manager can manage and control all participants and documents throughout the entire usability test process, from the design of a usability test project to the analysis of the test results. A usability test generates many documents, such as subject agreement forms and before/after questionnaires. Since many different subjects can participate in a usability test, consistency during testing with different participants and efficient document management are the keys to success for a usability test. Since all users that participate in usability test projects can access web-based usability test systems through a web browser, regardless of the place where they are, the reliability of the testing results can improve since the tests are conducted in the locations where the target products are meant to be used. In particular, our system is useful for disabled individuals who cannot move.

The development of ICT is spreading various contents to enhance health care and management efficiency through convergence between mobile and healthcare, but it indicates consumer acceptance and imbalance of mobile healthcare, and there is a lack of empirical research on functions and acceptability required according to consumer behavior and characteristics. This study sought to understand whether users were aware of and how to address the risks associated with smartphone use, and to conduct research on the acceptability and function and price of healthcare applications. For the purpose of the study, the data prepared in depth 1:1 survey for those who participated in and attended the 'BIO 2018 in Boston' exhibition was used for the actual analysis. The collected sample data included frequency analysis, technical statistical analysis, speech only correlation, chi square test, one-way analysis, and accuracy test. As a result, the more you realize the wrong attitude, the higher the awareness of risk and willingness to take action to solve problems. Second, it is necessary to increase satisfaction with the functions of healthcare apps, as well as to utilize health care and healthcare apps. Third, focus should be placed on systems or functional implementations centered on user behavior changes. Fourth, it is necessary to develop services that can enhance visual motivation. This study is meaningful in that it identifies a variety of consumer characteristics and provides directions for development of functions, and can be used as a basis for providing efficient healthcare applications in the future.

Forty two female students whose fat mass ratio was over 30% were participated in the experiment of fat mass loss of two treatments for 8 weeks. They kept diary for foods they ate every day, took a picture of the foods, transmitted the picture to the experimenter by the camera phone. Among those, 28 students took the picture by regular camera phone (Treatment A), and the other students used smart phone (Treatment B). Fat mass weight and its related variables had been measured repeatedly four times at an interval of two weeks during 8 weeks. It was shown from mixed model analysis of repeated measurements data that AR(1) covariance matrix was selected as the optimal covariance matrix pattern. The correlation between two successive times is highly correlated as 0.838. Based upon the AR(1) covariance matrix structure, the students using smart phones were somewhat more effective in losing fat mass weight than the students using regular camera phones. The time effect was highly significant, but the treatment-time interaction effect was insignificant. The baseline effect and total cholesterol were found to be significant, but the calories with taking foods were somewhat significant, but the waist to hip ratio was found to be insignificant.

The result of five year's experience on Inter-laboratory Comparison for Analyses of Heavy Metals and Organic Solvent Metabolites in Biological Samples was described. Since 1995, around a hundred laboratories in the Occupational Health have participated this program twice per year by the Industrial Safety and Health Law. Four metals in blood and five organic solvent metabolites in urine were examined. Reference samples were made by spiking standard materials to human blood or urine pools treated previously to give homogeneity and stability for a specific time periods. Some reference samples for organic solvent metabolites were made from workers' urine who were exposed to the organic solvents. Some items such as Lead in blood and Hippuric acid in urine showed good accordance between participants while the other items such as Mercury and N-methylformamide in urine showed poor proficient rate. The results were published in the internet or newspaper to help the consumer of the laboratory's service to get the information on them and to make competition between them. The inter-laboratory's comparison program have done greate role to improve the ability of analysis and reliability of analytical data produced from each laboratory.

미국의 DOE(Department of Energy)산하 EERE(Energy Efficiecy & Renewable Energy)에서 신재생 에너지 프로그램 평가를 하고 있다. 특히 General program evaluation Guide에는 많은 평가기관에서 제안되었던 5가지 방법 중 Outcome 평가는 프로그램의 목적을 얼마나 달성했는지를 측정하는 것으로 일정한 기간이 지난 후 프로그램의 목적을 달성함으로써 얻어지는 결과를 추산함으로써 그 기간 동안 프로그램이 의도했던 목적을 얼마나 잘 수행했는지를 보여준다. 한국에서 시행되고 있는 신재생에너지 보급 프로그램의 성과를 정량화 분석을 통하여 평가할 수 있어 국내 적용성이 크다. 본 연구에서는 미국 에너지부 EERE로부터 지원받아 NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory)에서 실행한 Utility Green Pricing 프로그램을 사례 분석하였다. Utility Green Pricing 프로그램은 1993년 시작되었으며 2002년 말 미국 전역의 300여개 시설을 통한 90개의 프로그램을 발전시킴으로써 소비자가 자발적으로 재생에너지 발전을 지원하기 위한 한 방법으로 최근 이런 프로그램 수는 증가하고 있다. 2002년 말 기준으로 국가 전기 사용자의 20%, 대략 270,000명의 소비자가 선택하였고 2002년 290MW급 재생에너지 설비용량과 2003년 140MW급 시설을 담당하였으며 미국 이외에 캐나다, 일본, 호주, 12개 유럽 국가들이 시행하고 있다. 이 프로그램 목표는 어떤 프로그램이 green pricing 프로그램의 소비자 참가와 재생에너지 구매의 최대화를 돕는지를 제공하는 것으로 Data Pool은 90개 프로그램 중 더 이상 실행하지 않는 4개를 제외한 86개로 응답률은 77%였다. 분석대상은 거주자와 비거주자로써 자료는 2003년 초 66개의 green pricing 프로그램의 질문서를 토대로 도출되었다. Green Pricing 프로그램 질문서는 참여, 지난해 판매, 재생에너지 공급, 할 증금(초과 구매력), 프로그램 디자인과 실행, 마케팅, 소비자를 위한 부가서비스 이렇게 총 7부분으로 나누어져있다. 특히 거주자와 비거주자와 참여, 재생에너지 판매량, 프로그램 수명, 사용하는 재생에너지의 종류, 프로그램 가격, 비용 할증료, 프로그램 평가의 종류, 프로그램 마케팅 노력, 참여자에게 제공되는 부수적 가치와 관련된 자료를 모으기 위해 실행되었다. 종속적 변수로 프로그램 유효성 측정과 관련된 비/거주자 참여와 재생에너지 구매를 선택하였으며 독립적 변수로 프로그램 디자인과 마케팅 특징을 들었다. 분석방법으로는 이변성과 다변성 통계적 분석을 이용하였다. 이변성 분석은 쉽게 개별적 독립 변수와 종속변수와의 직접적 관계를 보여주며 다변성 분석은 보다 정확한 영향 산정을 위해 선택한 복합적 독립변수를 이용하였다. 프로그램 유효성 측정을 위해 비/거주자 참여 퍼센트와 재생에너지 구매 퍼센트를 구하였다. 그러나 이 분석에 몇 가지 제한점이 있었다. 소비자 중 국외자의 영향으로 분석에 많은 영향을 주지 않지만 single utility 프로그램은 비거주자참여율과 재생에너지 구매율에 영향을 끼칠 가능성이 있으며 독립/설병변수를 프로그램성공을 위해 거듭 강조하지만 빠지거나 무딘 변수는 여전히 존재한다. 분석 대상이 2002년까지를 대상으로 하기 때문에 시간상의 지체 역시 문제가 될 수 있다. 다중공산성 역시 독립변수간의 상관관계가 나타나면서 발생된다. 하지만 몇 가지 재미있는 결과를 얻어냈다. 프로그램 기간이 소비자 응답에 영향을 미치며 초기 거주고객의 높은 구매력이 지속된다는 것이다. 가격 할증료와 최소 월사용료는 프로그램 성공 초기 결정요인이 되지 않는다. 작은 시설이 성공 달성가능성이 더 큰 것으로 나타났으며 비거주자의 사적 이득 제공 역시 성공 강화에 영향을 끼쳤다.
