The Chemical Control Act has revised in 2015 to promote chemical safety, particularly enhancing the standards for the installation and management of hazardous chemical handling facilities. However, in some existing facilities, it was difficult to comply with some facility standards because of lack of land, safety accident possibility during rebuilding. In this study, we attempted to provide a more rational approach of dike standard which was the highest(2017: 117, 2018: 83) complaint for two years(2017~2018, 1,087) by prior study, FLACS simulation, analyze safety management standard and conduct a survey. Therefore, considering the purpose of installing the discharge wall only at existing facilities in operation, additional sensors that can detect chemical leakage and leakage were recognized as an additional alternative to installing and operating closed circuit television (CCTV). This will help the safety and cost aspects of small or medium-sized businesses or small and medium-sized enterprises that cannot secure legal grounds or fail to enforce legal regulations due to economic problems such as construction costs.

Purpose : To calculate the appearance of the image distortion from metallic artifacts and to determine the location of a metallic needle from a distorted MR image. Materials and Methods : To examine metal artifacts, an infinite metal cylinder in a strong magnetic field are assumed. The cylinder’s axis leaned toward the magnetic field along some arbitrary angle. The Laplace equation for this situation was solved to investigate the magnetic field distortion, and the simulation was performed to evaluation the image artifact caused by both readout and slice-selection gradient field. Using the result of the calculation, the exact locations of the metal cylinder were calculated from acquired images. Results : The distances between the center and the folded point are measured from images and calculated. Percentage errors between the measured and calculated distance were less than 5%, except for one case. Conclusion : The simulation was successfully performed when the metal cylinder was skewed at an arbitrary tilted angle relative to the main magnetic field. This method will make it possible to monitor and guide both biopsy and surgery with real time MRI.

Various services such as IPTV, VoIP, multimedia over IP, on-line payment, on-line game, etc. were made possible due to the rapid advance of the network. In order to provide secure and seamless services over the network, the Internet service providers are performing continuous network monitoring using NMS. The main function of NMS is to perform a diagnosis to identify the potential causes of failure from event messages. In this paper, a simulation tool, named as NetDoctor, is presented which is capable of identifying and diagnosing the potential problems in the virtual network, before the network model is constructed. In NetDoctor, a series of various and artificial failure is imposed on the virtual network, and it was analyzed if NetDoctor could identify the problems. The experimental results on virtual network show that the developed tool is very effective in identifying and diagnosing the problems. The presented simulation tool can be used in the design of robust network.

WLP(WiMedia Logical link control Protocol) is a protocol to support IP services on the WiMedia UWB platform. It defines that DRP needs to be employed using TSPEC parameters when the packets from upper layer transmit with QoS. However, there is no appropriate means to provide QoS when the TSPEC of the traffic is unknown. In this paper, we propose TSPEC estimation scheme to provide QoS for such unknown applications by monitoring the traffic in realtime. Also, the scheme to estimate the effective TSPEC is proposed that compensate the packet losses in the wireless environment to provide the required QoS. The performances of the proposed TSPEC estimation schemes are evaluate by simulation assuming random wireless packet loss and 1mm-ACK mechanism.

Recently, diverse schedule management agents are being researched for the efficient schedule management of smart devices users, but they remain at a confirmatory level. In order to efficiently manage user's schedules, execution of planned schedules should be monitored to help users properly execute their schedules, or feedback must be given so that when setting up new schedules, users can plan their schedule according to their schedule establishment patterns. This research proposes a schedule management agent that infers the user's behaviors by using acquired user context, and provides schedule related feedback depending on the user's behavior patterns, when users are executing their schedules or planning new schedules. For this, collected user context information is preprocessed and user's behavior is inferred by Bayesian network. Also, in order to provide feedbacks necessary for confirming the user's schedule execution and new schedule establishment, a context tree pattern matching method for the user's schedule, location and time contexts was applied, then verified with 6 weeks of user simulation in a mobile environment.

Top-k queries are important to many wireless sensor applications. Conventional Top-k query processing algorithms install a filter at each sensor node and suppress unnecessary sensor updates. However, they have some drawbacks that the sensor nodes consume energy extremely to probe sensor reading or update filters. Especially, it becomes worse, when the variation ratio of top-k result is higher. In this paper, we propose a novel Top-k query processing algorithm for energy-efficiency. First, each sensor determines its priority as the order of data gathering. Next, sensor nodes that have higher priority transmit their sensor readings to the base station until gathering k sensor readings. In order to show the superiority of our query processing algorithm, we simulate the performance with the existing query processing algorithms. As a result, our experimental results show that the network lifetime of our method is prolonged largely over the existing method.

In LTE-Advanced that different networks coexist, it is considered that it is actually difficult to provide service continuity with a procedural and static control method applied to the existing voice service. This paper suggests Service Self-Organization to support the service continuity effectively based on SON. It means a method in which a subscriber's terminal collects information about its current condition and base station around, and a base station, through the data collected by monitoring inner or adjacent base station, shares related data and converges, controlling service continuity on its own. In other words, as context information of mobile terminal and base station changes, set-up of related functions such as ISHO, cell selection, source allocation, load control, and QoS mapping is adapted; each function fits into the change, exchanges the process of reorganization, and interacts; these actions go toward to satisfy service continuity. Simulation results show that it provides better performances than the conventional one with the measure of resource utilization rate and outage probability.

The mobility or highly interconnected and communicating devices and users has implications for the QoS in a ubiquitous computing environment. Therefore, it is important for location aware systems to detect location of mobile object correctly and Provide high quality services in ubiquitous environment. However, it is not easy that location aware systems offer highly reliable QoS to users because process strategies of location aware systems are limited by the capability according to the applied detection target objects. In this paper, we design an autonomic architecture which analyzes the location aware system condition and autonomously chooses the best appropriate process strategy. We also have simulated the Proposed architecture in order to verify its performance. The test results show us that the architecture using self-optimizing mechanism provides higher QoS to users in variable bandwidth.

CCS (Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage) is a means of mitigating the contribution of $CO_2$ to the Greenhouse gas, from large point sources such as power plants and steel companies. CCS is a process whereby $CO_2$ is captured from gases produced by fossil fuel combustion, compressed, transported and injected into deep geologic formations for permanent storage. CCS applied to a conventional power plant can reduce $CO_2$ emissions to the atmosphere by approximately 80~90% compared to a plant without CCS. The IPCC estimates that the economic potential of CCS will be between 10% and 55% of the total carbon mitigation effort by year 2100. In this paper, overseas sites where CCS technology is being applied and technical development trends for CCS are briefly reviewed.
