In recent years, the number of users who are actively express their opinions about Internet articles is more and more growing up, as the use of cyber community such as weblog or Internet discussion board increases. In fact, it is not difficult to find an article with hundreds of comments in famous Internet discussion boards. Most of the weblogs or Internet discussion boards present comments in the form of list and do not yet support even the basic operation such as searching comments. In this paper, we analysed large sets of comments in Internet discussion board named AGORA. It was found that from the result that the distribution of comment writers follows power-law. So we suppose a new search structure of comments using skip lists. The main idea of our approach is to reflect the probabilistic distribution properties of the commenters following the power-law to the data structure. Our empirical results show that the proposed method performs more efficient in searching the nodes with fewer number of comparison operations than logN, which is the theoretical time complexity of general indexed structure such as B-trees or typical skip lists.

Today, Internet users can easily create and share the digital contents with others through various online content sharing services such as YouTube. So, many portal sites are flooded with lots of user created contents (UCC) in various media such as texts and videos. Estimating popularity of UCC is a crucial concern to both users and the site administrators. This paper proposes a method to predict the popularity of Internet articles, a kind of UCC, using the dynamics of the online contents themselves. To analyze the dynamics, we regarded the access counts of Internet posts as the popularity of them and analyzed the variation of the access counts. We derived a model to predict the popularity of a post represented by the time series of access counts, which is based on an exponential function. According to the experimental results, the difference between the actual access counts and the predicted ones is not more than 10 for 20,532 posts, which cover about 90.7% of the test set.

인터넷 게시판에서 실명을 사용할 경우 자유로운 토론이 어려우며 사용자 프라이버시를 침해할 우려가 있는 반면, 가명을 사용할 경우 자유고운 토론은 가능하지만 오히려 상호 비방이나 유언비어 등의 부작용이 있을 수 있다. 따라서 기본적으로는 가명을 이용해서 포스팅하고록 허용하지만, 필요한 경우 분산된 여러 개체간의 합의에 의해서 조건부 실명 복원(혹은 다른 말로 조건부 추적)이 가능한 게시판이 구현된다면 매우 유용할 것이다. 그러나 기존 체계에서 가명만을 이용하여 조건부 추적 가능한 익명성을 제공하기란 쉽지 않다. 또한 현존하는 익명성 제공 기법들을 기존의 인증 체계나 인증서 체계에서 수용하기는 매우 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이와 같이 인터넷 게시판에서 익명성을 제공할 수 있는 기술들을 간략히 살펴보고, 특히 기존의 공개키기반구조, 즉 X.509 인증서 체계를 이용하여 익명게시판은 구현한 수 있는 기술에 대해서 소개하도록 한다.

최근 인터넷 게시판에서 사용자들의 토론과 논쟁이 큰 이슈가 되고 있다. 이러한 논쟁은 게시판을 읽는 사용자들에게 불필요 한 부분이거나, 혹은 관심을 보이는 부분이다. 만약 이러한 논쟁이 있는 구역을 게시판전체에서 논쟁지수를 계산하여 사용자에게 정보를 가져다준다면, 사용자가 직접 글을 파악하지 않고도 논쟁구역을 회피하거나 더 관심 있게 읽을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 댓글 수나 조회 수 등의 개별적인 정보를 이용하여 파악하는 것이 아니라 글쓴이의 연속된 정보를 가지고 게시판의 특정 부분의 논쟁구역을 찾는 방법을 논하고자 한다. 그래서 논쟁이 있는 인터넷 웹 게시판 사용자들의 논쟁 밀도와 논쟁지수를 정의 하고, 이를 계산하는 방법에 대한 모델을 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, many users discuss and argue with others using replying comments. This implies that a series of comments can be a new source of information since various opinions can be appeared in the dispute. It is important to understand the implicit dispute structure immanent in the comment set. In this paper, we examine the characteristics of disputes using replying comments in the Internet forum sites using a set of test articles with the comments collected from SketicalLeft and Agora, which are famous Internet forum sites in Korea. And we propose a new method for detecting and visualizing the dispute sections and relations from a large set of replying comments. To show the performance of our method, we measured precision, recall, and F-measure. According to the experimental results, the F-measures of the detection of the comments in dispute are about 0.84 (SketpcialLeft) and 0.83 (Agora); those of the detection of the commenter pairs in dispute are 0.75 (SketpcialLeft) and 0.82 (Agora), respectively. Since our method exploits the temporal order of commenters to detect the disputes, it is not dependent on the host language nor on the typos in comments. Also, our method can help the readers to grasp the structure of controversy hidden in the comment set through the visualized view.

The argument related to the use of real and anonymous names on the Internet bulletin board has recently become a main issue. When using real names, it is possible to violate free discussion and privacy. Also, when using anonymous names, it is possible to have the reverse function of the Internet in regard to the use of malicious replies or the distribution of false ideas. Therefore, this paper has made it possible to prevent the spread of the user's personal information and execute the single log-in process by using the XML-token method which is one of the SSO technologies. Also, by issuing virtual IDs and forming the path when establishing tokens, the anonymous bulletin board which provides anonymity with a conditional tracing process has been suggested. After analyzing the performance of visitor numbers at authentication time, the anonymous bulletin board based on the group signature method showed the average response rate of 0.72 seconds, 0.18 seconds, which was suggested scheme. In the authentication time 4-5 times faster response speed, respectively. Also, since the suggested system does not have to provide a single authentication process or make the user provide his or her signature, the level of user's convenience seems to be much higher. Such a result shows that the system suggested on the anonymous bulletin board has a more appropriate level of user's convenience.

The purpose of this study is to examine the variables related to the students' e-learning participation that have an effect on learning achievement in e-learning environment of cyber universities. Based on the related research, the followings are derive. First, students' attendance and participation in discussion showed higher correlation with the learning achievement than other participation variables. However, the total studying time in online classes showed lower correlation with the learning achievement. Second, the variables that have an effect on the learning achievement were in the order of students' attendance, participation in discussion, access frequency to online classes, learning progress and number of data uploads. Third, by the learners' background, the difference among the variables that have an effect on learning achievement were found. Based on the results above, this study suggests considerations about participation variables to enhance the learning achievement in cyber universities.

Online discussion bulletin in Korea is not only a specific place where user exchange opinions but also a public sphere through which users discuss and form public opinion. Sometimes, there is a heated debate on a topic and any article becomes a political or sociological issue. In this paper, we propose how to analyze the popularity of articles by collecting the information of articles obtained from two well-known discussion forums such as AGORA and SEOPRISE. And we propose a prediction model for the article popularity by applying the characteristics of subject articles. Our experiment shown that the popularity of 87.52% articles have been saturated within a day after the submission in AGORA, but the popularity of 39% articles is growing after 4 days passed in SEOPRISE. And we observed that there is a low correlation between the period of popularity and the hit count. The steady increase of the hit count of an article does not necessarily imply the final hit count of the article at the saturation point is so high. In this paper, we newly propose a new prediction model called 'baseline'. We evaluated the predictability for popular articles using three models (SVM, similar matching and baseline). Through the results of performance evaluation, we observed that SVM model is the best in F-measure and precision, but baseline is the best in running time.
