This paper presents an implementation result and performance evaluation of pavilion management services that does not only provide real-time status of the pavilion in the forest but also prediction services through machine learning. The developed hardware prototype detects whether the pavilion is occupied using a motion detection sensor and then sends it to a cloud database along with location information, date and time, temperature, and humidity data. The real-time usage status of the collected data is provided to the user's mobile application. The performance evaluation confirms that the average response time from the hardware module to the applications was 1.9 seconds. The accuracy was 99%. In addition, we implemented a pavilion availability prediction service that applied a machine learning-based SVM (Support Vector Model) model to collected data and provided it through mobile and web applications.

This paper contains the results of the development and performance evaluation of the environmental data monitoring system for the fish farm. For the hardware development, the analogue sensor is used to collect dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, and temperature of the fish farm water, and the digital sensor is used for collecting ambient temperature, humidity, and location information via a GPS module to be sent to cloud-based Firebase DB. A set of LoRa transmitters and receivers is used as a communication module to upload the collected data. The data stored in Firebase is retrieved as a graph on a web and mobile application to monitor the environmental data changes in real-time. A notification will be delivered if the collected data is outside the determined optimal value. To evaluate the performance of the developed system, a response time from hardware modules to web and mobile applications is ranging from 6.2 to 6.85 seconds, which indicates satisfactory results.

This paper contains the implementation of a game as a feature of a package tour management application with the Digital Game-based Learning approach that helps tourists learn about tourism spots. The game is written in Java language for an Android smartphone that is designed to be integrated with Content Management System (CMS) to manage the game's contents and assets. The game contains one tourism spots introductory level and five quiz game levels with each having a reward (points) and punishment (time penalty) system, then summed the results to obtain the total score from all levels. The total score will determine a tourist's performance and be listed on an online leaderboard to increase competitiveness among tourists. The conducted performance evaluation of the game shows satisfactory results of 0.9 seconds of response time from the database to the game. Implementing the game presented in this paper will potentially reduce the burden of the tour guide and increase the efficiency of managing the tour group.

수문학적 기준지점(HRS, Reference Hydrological Station)은 유량의 변동성의 장기적인 추세를 파악하기 위해 고품질의 자료를 생산하는 관측소를 의미한다. 선진외국의 경우 운영목적과 수문학적 기준지점의 정의는 조금씩 다르지만 유사한 개념의 관측소를 운영하고 있다. 호주의 경우 기후변화에 따른 장기간의 수자원 부존량의 변화를 예측하기 위한 모니터링 지점으로 정의하며, 미국의 경우 시간에 따른 수문학적 특성의 자연적인 변화 및 인간의 활동에 따른 수문환경의 변화에 대한 연구를 위한 기준값을 제공하기 위해 참조지점(HBN, Hydrological Benchmark Network)의 자료를 제공하기 위해 운영한다. 영국은 기후변화에 따른 유역의 수문학적 응답을 조사할 목적으로 참조지점(RHN, Reference Hydrological Network)을 운영하고 있으며, 주로 자연유역에 설치하여 운영하고 있다. WMO는 2006년 '기후연구를 위한 적절한 유량관측소'를 선정해 줄 것을 회원국에 요청하고, 관련 자료의 데이터베이스를 독일의 GRDC(Global Runoff Data Centre)에 수집하고 있다. 국외의 경우 '자연에 가까운 유역특성을 갖는 하천 유량관측망 중 양질의 자료를 보유하고 있는 관측소'를 고려하여 수문학적 기준지점을 선정한다. 하지만 우리나라의 경우 장기간의 유량자료를 보유하고 있는 관측소가 상대적으로 부족하고, 장기간의 유량자료를 보유한 지점 또한 홍수예보, 댐 운영 등 물관리 업무에 직접 활용하기 위해 대하천의 본류 중심으로 자료를 생산하고 있다. 따라서 현재를 기준으로 국제적으로 통용되는 기준에 부합하는 기준관측소를 선정하는 것은 곤란한 상황으로 미래에 수문학적 기준지점이 될 수 있는 관측소를 선정하여 장기간 모니터링을 통해 기준관측소를 확대해 나갈 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 국외의 수문학적 기준관측소 선정기준을 비교 검토하여 우리나라 실정에 맞는 기준관측소 선정기준을 개발하였다. 선정 기준은 ① 유역의 개발정도, ② 댐·저수지 등 인위적인 조절 정도, ③ 취수량 또는 방류량 등 유역간의 물 이동, ④ 유량자료의 보유기간 및 정확도 등을 고려하여 기준을 설정하였다. 또한 기준지점의 선정을 위한 절차를 ① 수위관측소 사전목록의 작성, ② 관측소 정보 분석(유역특성, 시계열자료 등), ③ 수문학적 기준관측소 후보 선정, ④ 유관기관 및 전문가 검토를 통한 우선순위 선정 등 4단계로 구분하여 제시하였다.

Many office workers spend a lot of time performing repetitive office tasks in inefficient ways. We developed a user-friendly chatbot system based on Kakaotalk to automate repetitive tasks and used the chatbot in the real workplace. In the process of operating the chatbot, if several people use the chatbot at the same time, the server was down or could not respond. To address these issues, we performed code migration of programs used by chatbot back-end servers and tried several ways to improve server performance such as database redesign and load balancing. To determine how much each method affects performance improvement, we measured total request per second and average latency. After that, we proposed ways to improve the problems of using the chatbot in the work environment.

Because a railway bridge is designed over a long period of time and covers a large site, it involves various environmental factors and uncertainties. For this reason, design changes often occur, even if the design was thoroughly reviewed in the initial design stage. In particular, design changes of large-scale facilities, such as railway bridges, consume significant time and cost, and it is extremely inefficient to repeat all the procedures each time. In this study, a technique that can improve the efficiency of learning after design change was developed by utilizing the learning result before design change through transfer learning among deep-learning algorithms. For analysis, scenarios were created, and a database was built using a previously developed railway bridge deep-learning-based prediction system. The proposed method results in similar accuracy when learning only 1000 data points in the new domain compared with the 8000 data points used for learning in the old domain before the design change. Moreover, it was confirmed that it has a faster convergence speed.

Dynamic shear properties of Nak-Dong river sand were investigated to build a soil property database for Nak-Dong delta region. Samples were taken from the estuary and the midstream of the river. Laboratory specimens were prepared by air pluviation method, and were tested by using RC/TS apparatus at various confining stresses, relative densities and numbers of cycles. Shear modulus reduction and damping curves were developed using Ramberg-Osgood and Modified Hyperbolic Models. The developed curves, compared to those reported by other investigators, show only a slight difference. The outcome of this RC/TS experiments can be very important resources when accessing the dynamic response of sandy soils in Nak-Dong delta region in the future.

This study was to examine perceptions of information technology(IT) competencies among gifted and non-gifted students(i.e., information science high school students and technical high school students). Of the 370 high school students surveyed from 3 high schools(i.e., gifted academy, information science high school, and technical high school) in three metropolitan cities, Korea, 351 students completed and returned the questionnaires yielding a total response rate of 94.86%. High school students recognized the IT professional competence as being most important when recruiting IT employees. And they considered that practice-oriented education was the most importantly needed to improve their IT skills. In addition, the most important sub-factors of IT core competencies among gifted academy students and information science high school students were basic software skills. Also Technical high school students responded that the main network and security capabilities were the most importantly needed to do so. Finally, the most appropriate training courses for enhancing IT competencies were recognized differently among gifted and non-gifted students. Gifted academy students responded that the 'algorithm' was the mostly needed for enhancing IT competencies, whereas information science high school students responded that 'data structures' and 'computer architecture' were mostly needed to do. For technical high school students, they responded that a 'programming language' course was the most needed to do so. Results are discussed in relations to IT corporate and school settings.

In accordance with the completion of the spatial database building works in the central and/or local government authorities as well as the rapid popularization of various information services through internet, it is heavily required to provide spatial information services through World Wide Web. To provide a qualified spatial information service, it is crucial to have a Web-based GIS (Geographic Information Service) service system equipped with the publicity, the convenient accessibility, and the easy-to-use user interface. In this paper, we introduce a new component system for Web-based spatial information services based on the OpenGIS Simple Feature specification for OLE/COM[3] and OLE DB specification[4]. The important functionality of a Web-based spatial information service system includes its accessibility of various existing GIS server system and huge databases in addition to the resolution of response-time delay problems caused by transmitting a large amount of digital maps via internet[6]. To cope with these problems, our component system has been designed to access heterogeneous databases in transparent manner and to support vector-based and/or image-based image production techniques for shortening transmission time.
