Currently, usability tests for web sites with representative users are conducted in laboratory environment that disturbs subjects' natural behavior. These test methods are inefficient for tests that require large number of subjects, because experimenters and subjects should be located in the same place at the same time during the test. In this study, a remote usability test tool, called 'RIO' has been developed to cope with these laboratory-based experiment problems - the 'synchronism' and the 'unnatural environment'. The tool is separated into three parts: 'Project Manager', 'Remote Interaction Observer', and 'Interaction Analyzer'. 'Project Manager' sets up overall experimental parameters and actual tasks to be peformed by subjects. 'Remote Interaction Observer', endued with Microsoft Internet Explorer Control, is a modified Web Browser which records user interactions, screen images and elaborate browser events while subject performs given tasks. This module is distributed to subjects as an installable software package. When they finish all the tasks, the captured interaction data is compressed and sent to 'Interaction Data Server' automatically. 'Interaction Analyzer' visualizes interaction data from the 'Interaction Data Server'. It also generates project-scope statistics which facilitate discovering peculiar cases among interaction submissions.

In this paper, the management architecture and the ubiquitous profile based on CC/PP for contents adaptation in the ubiquitous environment is designed. The components and the attributes of the ubiquitous profile are defined based on the services scenario of contents adaptation in the ubiquitous environment. The ubiquitous profile was applied to techniques such as standard vocabulary, CC/PP structure, RDF schema and RDF to use effectively in the ubiquitous environment during the design. Also we design and propose the another management architecture based on ideas such as the dynamic constitution method, the metadata constitution method using a repository and the management method of gateway on center for the effective management of the ubiquitous profile. The result of performance evaluation for the proposed management architecture is more effective compared with the previous management method of the profile. The proposed the ubiquitous profile and the management architecture has provided the foundation of the research for a user to adaptation contents services in the ubiquitous environment.

Demand for big data analysis and AI developers is increasing, but there is a lack of an education base to supply them. In this paper, by developing a cloud-based artificial intelligence education platform, the goal was to establish an environment in which practical practical training can be efficiently learned at low cost at educational institutions and IT companies. The development of the education platform was carried out by planning scenarios for each user, architecture design, screen design, implementation of development functions, and hardware construction. This training platform consists of a containerized workload, service management platform, lecture and development platform for instructors and students, and secured cloud stability through real-time alarm system and age test, CI/CD development environment, and reliability through docker image distribution. The development of this education platform is expected to expand opportunities to enter new businesses in the education field and contribute to fostering working-level human resources in the AI and big data fields.

Recently, with the rapid development of digital media technology, Realistic content that stimulates users' five senses is being used in various fields. This study focused on the case of the development of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's public relations center as the subject of the study to study the realistic content development process of public enterprises. First, the realistic content development process was divided into 10 stages and practical guidelines were presented to help develop realistic content in the future by presenting important development points and methods at each stage. Second, among the realistic content development processes, the importance of storytelling was analyzed at the scenario stage. Third, various methods of displaying content were analyzed. In the case of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's public relations center, it was proposed in three ways: story video, experience video, and media wall. It is suggested that the role of branding, promotion, and PR can be performed in one public relations center through an effective development process.

This study investigates why some female workers come to decide to leave work after their taking parental leave and subsequently classifies their resignation backgrounds into four ideal types. The current debates on parental leave have mostly focused on clarifying the factors that influence on workers' usage of parental leave. But given that the final goal of parental leave is to help workers return to work after temporary rest for parenting, it is very important to inquire why some workers fail in reverting to their companies after parental leave. Based on in-depth interviews with 8 female workers who leave work after parental leave, this study analyses and compares their previous work-family conditions, reasons for taking parental leave and withdrawing from work, and behavioral patterns after resignation. This article then typifies four ideal types of resignation backgrounds (i.e. penalty by company, evasion from work, decision by family, choice for family). At the conclusion, this paper suggests policy alternatives to diminish female workers' resignation after parental leave and to heighten their work-family balance.

This article reviews previous literature on the metaverse and attempts to provide a refined definition for this phenomenon. Metaverse has recently been in the spotlight among discussions by the industry and the media while a consensus on the exact definition of metaverse is yet to be determined. Since Neal Stephenson first coined the term metaverse in his novel "Snow Crash" in 1992, the Acceleration Studies Foundation (ASF) was the first to analyze the concept of metaverse in 2007. While ASF's effort did not receive much spotlight it may have deserved, metaverse gained much attention in the fall of 2020 when NVIDIA announced its real-time simulation and collaboration platform for 3D production named "Omniverse" as a next-generation alternative for the Internet along with Roblox defining its service as metaverse during its IPO. Since then, metaverse has been commonly recognized as a world where we can cross over reality and virtuality. Based on the two axes and four scenarios proposed by the ASF, we review the literature across four realms as follows - virtual reality, mirror world, augmented reality, and lifelogging. Then, we examine the issues with the existing definition of metaverse and propose an alternative explanation by focusing on human behavior and user experience. Finally, we reassess the concept of metaverse and incorporate human communication, reality-based and virtual-based activities, and eXtended reality as elements to properly define metaverse.

Tewoo refers to a traditional group of Jeju's rafts for fishing in the rough Jeju sea in the past. We propose a mobile game called 'TewooGwang' based on a fishing boat called 'Tewoo', which has a scenario of conquering the Jeju sea using unique characters symbolizing the Jeju's ocean culture. This game is a new game, which uses a character of the fishing boat 'Tewoo', the background based on only Jeju's features, the high portability of PDA, and multimedia technology. It is different from simple sports games and has various game scenarios according to interactions of Tewoo character. The structure of this game represents a storytelling, which integrates Jeju culture into cyberspace. There are stories in this game and users also can make their own stories. Thus, this game enables hi-directional communications. It presents an imaginative space, which can induce a conflictive structure made by each user, and spatial provability. Many young Jeju tourists will enjoy it because this game provides a dynamic story. Furthermore, we can contribute to serving the value-added Jeju culture of being upgraded one step through this Jeju culture based game.

Although online social network services widely used in human networking and recruiting industries, it is showing off its limitations in followings-it's hard to reach the status of seamless connection between offline and online; the incompletion and low credibility of the information came from non-face-to-face profile exchange; and the restraint of user autonomy due to centralized control. This paper defines the ubiquitous social network management which enables the seamless real-time face-to-face social interactions of the users based on WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) who share the same interest in real word and deduces a ubiquitous social network management framework based on it. As an instance of ubiquitous social network management, u-Recruiting service model will be designed and analyzed. The Analysis using the business model will be followed by the possible scenario of service model. The role, value proposition and potential benefits of the each participants in this service model and will be given as well. In order to evaluate relative advantages of the model suggested by this study, 6 cases will be compared.
