Purpose of this study is to analyze the roles and strategies of imagistic simulation observed in mental simulation about problematic situation of prediction, and thereby identify the process of generating prediction, explanation and sophistication. For this study, a framework for mental simulation process and strategy based on literary research was developed and content was validated from four experts of science education. This study was participated by 10 preliminary elementary school teachers, and a total of 20 cases were gathered for two thought experiment tasks based on the think-aloud method. The results were as follows: First, mental simulation process described based on the seven elements of 'perception,' 'interpretation,' 'statement of initial representation,' 'running imagistic simulation,' 'identifying result of simulation,' 'identifying alignment' and 'restatement structured representation.' The study confirmed that initial representation by interpreting related concepts and running imagistic simulation a number of times to develop explanation and prediction. Second, the study identified the use of strategies to enhance simulation such as 'zoom in,' 'partition,' 'dimensional enhancement,' 'dimensional reduction,' 'remove,' 'replace' and 'extreme case.' Running spatial transformation that uses strategy to enhance simulation contributed to discovering mechanism elements in problematic situations.

Cloud computing is a computing paradigm that provides user's services anywhere, anytime in a virtualized form composed of large computing resources based on internet or intranet. In Cloud computing environments, reliability of system is impact factor because many applications handle large data. In this paper, we propose an adaptive scheduling technique based on reliability with fault tolerance that manages resource variable and resolves problems(change of user's requirement, failure occurrence) in Cloud computing environment. Futhermore, we verified the performance of the proposed scheduling through experiments in CloudSim Simulation.

이동성 관리 기술은 인터넷의 주요 접속 수단이 고정 접속 환경에서 이동 접속 환경으로 빠르게 변화함에 따라 그 중요성이 점차 커지고 있다. 특히 IP 기반의 차세대 유무선 통합망은 기지국마다 라우터가 구현되는 형태를 가정하고 있으므로 IP 를 기반으로 한 이동성 관리 기술의 제공은 필수적인 요소이다. 현재의 Mobile IP 는 빠른 이동성의 지원이 미약하여 차후 다양한 IP 멀티미디어 서비스 지원을 위한 신속한 핸드오버 시에는 많은 문제점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 SIP 를 기반으로 한 계층적 이동성 및 세션 관리 메커니즘에 대해서 제안한다. SIP 는 다양한 무선 액세스망에 상관없이 이동성 관리를 제공해 줄 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 세션 관리 기능까지 제공해 줄 수 있다. SIP 서버의 기능을 분산화 시킨 계층적 구조로서 이동성 및 세션 관리 기술을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 현재 제안된 이동성 관리 프로토콜인 Mobile IP 와의 비교를 함으로서 성능을 측정, 분석한다.

Multi-agent systems for semantic web applications require efficient implementation of agent architectures without sacrificing the flexibility and the level of abstraction that agent architectures provide. In this paper, we present an agent system, called VivAce, which is implemented in Java to achieve both high efficiency and the level of abstraction provided by the BDI agent architecture. VivAce (Vivid Agent Computing Environment) has the characteristics of a vivid agent through the BDI agent model. A vivid agent is a software-controlled system whose state comprises the mental components of knowledge, perceptions, tasks, and intentions, and whose behavior is represented by means of action and reaction rules. We first identify the requirements for multi-agent systems and then present the relevant features of VivAce and experimental results.

Recently, supercomputer has been increasingly adopted as a computing environment for scientific simulation as well as education, healthcare and national defence. Especially, supercomputing system with heterogeneous computing resources is gaining resurgence of interest as a next-generation problem solving environment, allowing theoretical and/or experimental research in various fields to be free of time and spatial limits. However, traditional supercomputing services have only been handled through a simple form of command-line based console, which leads to the critical limit of accessibility and usability of heterogeneous computing resources. To address this problem, in this paper, we provide the design and implementation of web-based HPC (High Performance Computing) job management framework for computational scientific simulation. The proposed framework has highly extensible design principles, providing the abstraction interfaces of job scheduler (as well as bundle scheduler plug-ins for LoadLeveler, Sun Grid Engine, OpenPBS scheduler) in order to easily incorporate the broad spectrum of heterogeneous computing resources such as cluster, computing cloud and grid. We also present the detailed specification of HTTP standard based RESTful endpoints, which manage simulation job's life-cycles such as job creation, submission, control and status monitoring, etc., enabling various 3rd-party applications to be newly created on top of the proposed framework.

Flash Translation Layer(FTL) which enables NAND Flash memory-based storage system to be used as a block device is designed considering only characteristics of NAND Flash memory. However, since FTL precesses I/O requests which survived against buffer replacement algorithm, FTL algorithm has tight relationship with buffer replacement algorithm. Therefore, if we do not consider both FTL and buffer replacement algorithms, it is difficult to predict the actual I/O performance of the computer systems that have Flash memory-based storage system. The necessity of FTL and buffer replacement algorithm co-design arises here. In this work, we implemented I/O performance evaluation tool, IPSiNS, which simulates both the buffer replacement and FTL algorithms, simultaneously.

We propose a method to use a state transition model so that the sensing object can be distinguished through classification of signal patterns sensed by a sensor array. Focusing on the design of the model that is able to distinguish the sensed object more exactly, we present an idea in which the modeling elements, 'states' and 'transitions' are defined as each same-sized angle intervals into which the angle interval $(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2})$ is divided and the angle differences between adjacent signal values on sampling signal value sequence value sequence sensed from the sensor array in the uniform time interval, respectively. In addition we show the usefulness of our model through experiments.

In general, the response of bulk material is independent of its size when it comes to considering classical elasticity theory. Because the surface to bulk ratio of the large solids is very small, the influence of surface can be negligible. But the surface effect plays important role as the surface to bulk ratio becomes larger, that is, the contribution of the surface effect must be considered in nano-size elements such as thin film or beam structure. Molecular dynamics computation has been a conventional way to analyze these ultra-thin structures but this method is limited to simulate on the order of $10^6{\sim}10^9$ atoms for a few nanoseconds, and besides, very time consuming. Analysis of structures in submicro to micro range(thin-film, wire etc.) is difficult with classical molecular dynamics due to the restriction of computing resources and time. Therefore, in this paper, the continuum-based method is considered to simulate the overall physical and mechanical properties of the structures in nano-scale, especially, for the thin-film.

Recently, the importance of elemental technologies constituting smart factories is increasing due to the 4th Industrial Revolution, and simulation is widely used as a tool to learn these technologies. In particular, PID control is an automatic control technique used in various fields, and most of them analyze mathematical models in certain situations or research on application development with built-in controllers. In actual educational environment requires PID simulator training as well as PID control principles. In this paper, we propose a model that enables education and practice of various PID controls through 3D simulation. The proposed model implemented virtual balls and Fan and implemented PID control by configuring a system so that the force can be lifted by the air pressure generated in the Fan. At this time, the height of the ball was expressed in a graph according to each gain value of the PID controller and then compared with the actual system, and through this, satisfactory results sufficiently applicable to the actual class were confirmed. Through the proposed model, it is expected that the rapidly increasing elemental technology of smart factories can be used in various ways in a remote classroom environment.

In this study, we evaluated spinal stability based on the change in the thoracolumbar fixation segment using finite element analysis (FEA). To accomplish this, a finite element (FE) model of a normal thoracolumbar spine (T10-L4), including intervertebral discs (IVD), ligaments, and facet joints, was constructed, and the material properties reported in previous studies were implemented. However, L1 was assumed as the lesion site, and three types of posterior fixation, namely, L1-L2, T12-L2, and T12-L1-L2, were implemented in the thoracolumbar FE model. In addition, the loading conditions for flexion, extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation were adopted. Through the series FEA, the deformation, equivalent stress, range of motion, and moment on the pedicle screws, vertebrae, and IVD were calculated, and the spinal stability was evaluated based on the FEA results.
