Recommendation system plays a significant role on relieving difficulties of selecting information among rapidly increasing amount of information caused by the development of the Internet and on efficiently displaying information that fits individual personal interest. In particular, without the help of recommendation system, E-commerce and OTT companies cannot overcome the long-tail phenomenon, a phenomenon in which only popular products are consumed, as the number of products and contents are rapidly increasing. Therefore, the research on recommendation systems is being actively conducted to overcome the phenomenon and to provide information or contents that are aligned with users' individual interests, in order to induce customers to consume various products or contents. Usually, collaborative filtering which utilizes users' historical behavioral data shows better performance than contents-based filtering which utilizes users' preferred contents. However, collaborative filtering can suffer from cold-start problem which occurs when there is lack of users' historical behavioral data. In this paper, hybrid music recommendation system, which can solve cold-start problem, is proposed based on the playlist data of Melon music streaming service that is given by Kakao Arena for music playlist continuation competition. The goal of this research is to use music tracks, that are included in the playlists, and metadata of music tracks and playlists in order to predict other music tracks when the half or whole of the tracks are masked. Therefore, two different recommendation procedures were conducted depending on the two different situations. When music tracks are included in the playlist, LightFM is used in order to utilize the music track list of the playlists and metadata of each music tracks. Then, the result of Item2Vec model, which uses vector embeddings of music tracks, tags and titles for recommendation, is combined with the result of LightFM model to create final recommendation list. When there are no music tracks available in the playlists but only playlists' tags and titles are available, recommendation was made by finding similar playlists based on playlists vectors which was made by the aggregation of FastText pre-trained embedding vectors of tags and titles of each playlists. As a result, not only cold-start problem can be resolved, but also achieved better performance than ALS, BPR and Item2Vec by using the metadata of both music tracks and playlists. In addition, it was found that the LightFM model, which uses only artist information as an item feature, shows the best performance compared to other LightFM models which use other item features of music tracks.

Many enterprises are still maintained while they are changing only their appearance of the business model. Business model is important in e-commerce. However, a lot of researches are targeted only in Web sites. Thus, e-commerce companies do not have the infrastructure for measuring and business models. The purpose of paper is to evaluate factors which are related with the structuring of the e-commerce success. And it proposed a financial items and non-financial items. From the perspectives of administrators and managers, the paper researches the possibility for E-Commerce Evaluation Model as a valuable criteria in measuring business model. Research design, data and methodology - The methods are taken by the classification for the type of business-to-business transactions, transactions subject, and the degree of integration and innovation capabilities. Financial and Non-financial value is used to build E-Commerce Evaluation Model. Evaluation items in Administration's perspective are composed with enhance the effectiveness of the mission, improving efficiency of the administration, and control of costs. Evaluation items in the customer's perspective were measured by customer participation and cooperation with customer Satisfaction. In the case of researching the information system's perspective, three criteria are used such as adequacy of the development process, improvement of the quality of service, and maintenance of standardized information technology. In researching for the ICT competence's perspective, evaluation items were composed of enhanced user capabilities, utilizing new technologies, and empowerment of information workers. Results - In this paper, E-Commerce Evaluation Model with financial and non-financial perspectives shows the possibility to be criteria in the case of measuring business model. Moreover, it gives the positive expectation to be successful criteria. But the research may have ambiguity in its essential concept because it cannot avoid the limitation in selecting evaluation tools from merely the model. It is impossible to exclude the possibility in omitting specific properties which may take place in actual case study. Therefore, In hereafter research, it is necessary to include actual case study research in selecting evaluation tools in order to improve the limit point. Actual measurement items which are derived from actual case study should be subdivided, and it would be more effective to complete the research. Conclusions - In rapid change in business models, there are various kinds of business models. But it is general situation that companies which adopted business models have not brought in revenue. For this reason, E-Commerce Evaluation Model is needed as an important factor for the structuring of the e-commerce success. Although it has the limitation in selecting evaluation tools from model, E-Commerce Evaluation Model proposes the implication for measuring business models as a valuable criteria.

개념적으로 존재하던 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 사용이 본격적으로 심화되면서 기업들의 클라우드 컴퓨팅에 대한 개념과 생각에도 많은 변화가 생기게 되었다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅 구축이 더욱 가속화되는 가운데, 그로 인한 비용절감이나 투자수익 창출 효과에 대한 검증이 활발해질 것으로 예측됐다. 시대를 뒤바꾸는 혁신적인 기술도 잇달아 등장할 것이란 기대도 높다. 2013년은 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 발전에 또 한번의 변곡점이 될 것으로 전망된다. 본 고에서는 2013년 클라우드 컴퓨팅에 관한 예측 몇 가지를 살펴보고자 한다. 첫째, 중소기업에서의 클라우드 컴퓨팅 사용 및 정착이 가속화될 것으로 보인다. 대기업의 경우에는 기존에 구축되어 있는 IT 시스템에 대한 거버넌스 체계를 완성해 나가고 있는 상황 속에서 중앙집중형과 사용자 편의성이 강화된 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 도입하기 위해서는 아직 추구 해야 할 과제가 많다. 하지만 중소기업은 예산을 문제로 대기업과 같은 수준의 IT 인프라를 갖추지 못하고 있기 때문에 클라우드 컴퓨팅 도입으로 비용대비 고효율의 IT 인프라를 갖출 수 있다. 둘째, CSP, CSB와 통합허브가 성장할 것이다. 플랫폼 전쟁이 시장 점유율 '횡령' 싸움임을 CSP들이 깨닫게 됨에 따라 이러한 가격 경쟁들은 더 잦아질 것으로 전망된다. 그리고 2013년 클라우드 벤더들은 클라우드 가격 책정이 비용-수익 관리(costyield management)의 연장선에 있음도 알게 될 것이다. 핵심은 효율적 설계와 저비용 운영, 그리고 무엇보다 높은 사용률에 있다. 또한 기업들이 점점 많은 애플리케이션을 소프트웨어 형태로 구매하고 있기 때문에 애플리케이션 자체를 통합하는 문제, 애플리케이션에 대한 보안과 감사 프로세스개발 등의 문제가 제기되고 있다. 시스템 통합 서비스와 통합 허브는 이런 문제를 해결하기 위해 노력하게 될 것이다 셋째, 2013년은 하이브리드 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 급부상할 것으로 전망된다. 앞으로는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 시장에서 공급업체끼리 경쟁하는 것은 의미가 없으며 기업들은 절대 한 가지 클라우드 기술이나 공급자에 안주하지 않을 것이다. 이것은 곧 2013년에는 하이브리드 및 이종 클라우드 컴퓨팅이 각광 받을 것을 의미한다. 이러한 하이브리드 클라우드 컴퓨팅을 도입하기 위해서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 단점과 문제 해결을 위해 하나의 목적을 가지고 다양한 산업체들이 모여 경쟁업체이면서도 협력관계를 이루는 것이 중요하다. 넷째, 멀티 디바이스를 이용한 클라우드 사용이 폭발적으로 증가될 것으로 보인다. 1인당 여러 대의 단말 보유, 이동성 향상 요구, 4G 확산 등 모바일 시장을 중심으로 한 환경 변화로 인해 이전보다 한층 진화된 클라우드 기반의 서비스가 다양하게 등장할 것으로 예상된다. 또한 4G 시대가 본격적으로 개막되면서 데이터 및 앱을 저장하는 것뿐만 아니라 앱을 실행하는 프로세싱까지도 모두 인터넷 상의 서버에서 이루어지는 방식인 클라우드 스트리밍(Cloud Streaming)이라는 신기술이 상용화될 것으로 기대된다. 다섯째, 2013년에는 'XaaS(Everything as a Service)' 개념이 보다 확장될 것이다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 사용이 확산됨에 따라 하드웨어의 도입, 소프트웨어 및 데이터베이스 개발과 구축, IT 서비스 등 IT 인프라 스트럭처의 토대에 많은 변화가 생겼다. 인프라스트럭처는 더 이상 고정불변의 자산으로서가 아니라 유연성과 확장성을 강조하는 서비스로서의 특징으로 점점 부각되고 있다. 따라서 모든 IT 인프라스트럭처가 Ondemand화 서비스로 제공되는 비즈니스 모델들이 부상하고 있으며 플랫폼, 하드웨어 데이터베이스 등 모든 IT 요소를 서비스 형태로 제공하는 XaaS가 2013년 새로운 개념으로 떠오를 것으로 기대된다. 여섯번째로 스토리지를 둘러싼 가격 경쟁이 더욱 심화될 것으로 보인다. 업체들의 가격 인하는 앞으로도 계속될 것이며 사용자들에게도 큰 혜택으로 돌아갈 것이지만 사람들은 가격만으로 서비스를 선택하지 않을 것이기 때문에 가격보다는 차별화된 기능 및 서비스 전략이 필요할 것이다.

컴퓨터는 인간의 모든 꿈과 희망을 실현시켜 줄 수 있는 마법상자는 아니다. 정보화 시대라고 일컫는 현재, 정보의 가치를 더해주는 컴퓨터의 중요성은 날로 커지고 있는 반면 인간의 존엄성은 경시되고 있다. 많은 사람들은 요즘 사회가 커다란 도덕적 위기에 빠졌다고 걱정하지만 컴퓨터 사용과 관련된 윤리적 문제에 대해서는 심각하게 느끼지 못하고 있는 것 같다. 정보통신 기술의 발달에 따라 새로운 교육의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존의 전통적인 교육방식에서 사이버 윤리 교육은 교과서 중심의 단편적인 교육이었기 때문에 학습자의 흥미를 유발하지 못하였으며, 교육자와 학습자의 상호작용이 부족하여 사이버 윤리 교육의 효과가 미흡하였다. 정보통신 기술의 발달에 따라 새로운 교육의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 기존의 전통적인 교육방식에서 사이버 윤리 교육은 교과서 중심의 단편적인 교육이었기 때문에 학습자의 흥미를 유발하지 못하였으며, 교육자와 학습자의 상호작용이 부족하여 사이버 윤리 교육의 효과가 미흡하였다. 이런 관점에서 본 논문은 정보통신 시대가 수반하고 있는 사회적 영향력과 윤리적 이슈들에 대하여 좀더 교육적인 측면으로 접근해 윤리교육의 현황과 문제점, 그리고 체계적인 확산방안에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 논문에서는 사이버공간에서 윤리 교육을 받는 청소년들을 중심으로 그들에게 새로운 윤리교육의 한 형태인 사이버공간에서 관련된 문제들을 교육적인 측면으로 해결할 수 있는 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 그러나, 무엇보다 우리가 명심해야 할 것은 인간의 존엄성은 그 어떤 이유를 막론하고 존중되어야 한다는 사실이다. 검증되지 않은 스토리 보드에 의한 저작 단계로 바로 돌입하고 있는 것이 한국의 실정이라 하겠다. 따라서 본 프로젝트에 의해 개발 된 교수 설계 도구는 교육/학습 컨텐츠의 품질 보증을 위한 방법론인 교육 공학의 체제적 교수 설계 이론 Model (Instructional System Design Model), 특히 그 중에서도 이 분야의 사실상의 표준 이론(de facto standard)인 Dick & Carey 교수와 Gagne 교수의 인지주의 ISD Model을 기반으로 정교한 교수 설계와 코스 맵 설계를 가능하게 함으로써 학습 컨텐츠의 품질 보증 활동을 지원 할 수 있는 도구로 개발하였다. 특히 Linux 기반에서 PHP로 개발 함으로써 Platform에 구애받지 않은 사용 환경을 구현 하였으며 향후 많은 e-Learning Platform에 교수 설계 모듈로 장착 함으로써 기존의 e-Learning Platform들의 가치를 높일 수 있는 계기가 될 것으로 생각한다.실징후를 파악하는데 그치지 않고 부실의 원인을 파악하고 이에 대한 대응 전략을 수립하며 그 결과를 측정하는데 활용될 수도 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기업의 부도예측 정보 중 현금흐름정보를 통하여 '인터넷기업의 미래 현금흐름측정, 부도예측신호효과, 부실원인파악, 비즈니스 모델의 성격규정 등을 할 수 있는가'를 검증하려고 한다. 협력체계 확립, ${\circled}3$ 전문인력 확보 및 인력구성 조정, 그리고 ${\circled}4$ 방문보건사업의 강화 등이다., 대사(代謝)와 관계(

The reason of the appearance of Internet is regarded as a milestone since we have shared information globally in a mutual way. The important thing on this point is what contents we choose for ourselves. The Internet could be meaningless unless we use it in a certain way, which ultimately means that the Internet has to deliver something valuable to us humans. Therefore, we have looked at how we can deliver and share humanity and emotion through the Internet, also how we can instill vital power into our real life, through the Internet. Fortunately, the current study must essentially be ongoing due to its nature with perhaps a multidisciplinary team brainstorming ideas. The reason for that is that not only could we find new business models for companies, but also find out new ways to appease the human mind in the modern age. In addition, as consumers needs become more specialized and diversified, companies are expected to face up to fierce competition with the help of innovative ideas. The ever-intensifying competition requires companies to cultivate new strategic tools in order to have new, powerful and sustainable comparative advantages. The goal of this research will be to explore ways of finding a new approach. Specifically, this research is about how to use the EVC(empathetic virtual character), which, this researcher believes, can deliver emotional benefits so as to make e-branding successful. According to reports, it has been proven that this new concept including the EVC can result in tremendous success. So the goal of this research is to explore the current situation and to anticipate the future concerning virtual characters.

The core technology development of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is linked to the development of other core technologies, which will change the industrial structure in the future and create a new smart business model. In this paper, tried to analyze the technology maturity level and analyze the technology maturity. To do this, used technology trend information to investigate and integrate the market, policy, etc. Of core technology of the 4th Industrial Revolution to achieve a comprehensive maturity level. Because technology maturity measures are scored by technology developers, prejudices may be acted upon according to a person's tendency, which may be a subjective evaluation. It is also a measure of the maturity of individual technologies, and thus is not suitable for evaluating the overall system integration perspective. However, it is possible to evaluate the maturity before integrating the core element technologies constituting the whole system and to use it as a means to compare the effect of the whole system and its feasibility and play an important role in the planning of technology development.

Nowadays, Data-Network-AI (DNA)-based intelligent services and applications have become a reality to provide a new dimension of services that improve the quality of life and productivity of businesses. Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance the value of IoT data (data collected by IoT devices). The internet of things (IoT) promotes the learning and intelligence capability of AI. To extract insights from massive volume IoT data in real-time using deep learning, processing capability needs to happen in the IoT end devices where data is generated. However, deep learning requires a significant number of computational resources that may not be available at the IoT end devices. Such problems have been addressed by transporting bulks of data from the IoT end devices to the cloud datacenters for processing. But transferring IoT big data to the cloud incurs prohibitively high transmission delay and privacy issues which are a major concern. Edge computing, where distributed computing nodes are placed close to the IoT end devices, is a viable solution to meet the high computation and low-latency requirements and to preserve the privacy of users. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the current state of leveraging deep learning within edge computing to unleash the potential of IoT big data generated from IoT end devices. We believe that the revision will have a contribution to the development of DNA-based intelligent services and applications. It describes the different distributed training and inference architectures of deep learning models across multiple nodes of the edge computing platform. It also provides the different privacy-preserving approaches of deep learning on the edge computing environment and the various application domains where deep learning on the network edge can be useful. Finally, it discusses open issues and challenges leveraging deep learning within edge computing.
