During the decades, considerable human interventions to comprehend the web information were increased continually. The successful expansion of the web services made it more complex and required more contributions of the users. Many researchers have tried to improve the comprehension ability of computers in supporting an intelligent web service. One reasonable approach is enriching the information with machine understandable semantics. They applied ontology design, intelligent reasoning and other logical representation schemes to design an infrastructure of the semantic web. For the features, the semantic web is considered as an intelligent access to understanding, transforming, storing, retrieving, and processing the information gathered from heterogeneous, distributed web resources. The goal of this study is firstly to explore the problems that restrict the applications of web services and the basic concepts, languages, and tools of the semantic web. Then we highlight some of the researches, solutions, and projects that have attempted to combine the semantic web and business support, and find out the pros and cons of the approaches. Through the study, we were able to know that the semantic web technology is trying to offer a new and higher level of web service to the online users. The services are overcoming the limitations of traditional web technologies/services. In traditional web services, too much human interventions were needed to seek and interpret the information. The semantic web service, however, is based on machine-understandable semantics and knowledge representation. Therefore, most of information processing activities will be executed by computers. The main elements required to develop a semantic web-based business support are business logics, ontologies, ontology languages, intelligent agents, applications, and etc. In using/managing the infrastructure of the semantic web services, software developers, service consumers, and service providers are the main representatives. Some researchers integrated those technologies, languages, tools, mechanisms, and applications into a semantic web services framework. Therefore, future directions of the semantic web-based business support should be start over from the infrastructure.

For implementing the ubiquitous computing environments with smart home infrastructures, various research on the home network have been performed by several research institutes and companies. Due to the various home network middleware that are developed recently, the standardization of the home network middleware is being delayed and it calls for the middleware bridge which solves the interoperability problem among the heterogeneous middlewares. Now the research on the scheme for interoperability and the development of the various bridges are in progress, such as one-to-one bridge supporting interoperability between two middlewares and one-to-many bridge supporting interoperability among the multi-middlewares. However, existing systems and schemes does not consider the dynamic extensibility and performance that is particularly needed in the smart home environments. The middleware bridge should provide bridge extensibility with zero-configuration for non-expert users. It should also provide the load balancing scheme for efficient and proper traffic distribution. In this paper, we propose a Multi-Middleware Bridge(MMB) for dynamic extensibility and load balancing in home network environments. MMB provides bridge scalability and load balancing through the distributed system structure. We also verify the features such as interoperability, bridge extensibility, and the performance of the load balancing algorithm.

Since the global financial crisis, the average youth employment rate in OECD countries dropped from 54% in 2007 to 50.8% in 2013 while the average youth unemployment rate jumped from 9.7% in 2007 to 13.4% in 2013. A similar trend was seen in Korea, with a decrease of the youth employment rate from 42.6% in 2007 to 41.5% in 2015. The country's youth unemployment rate increased from 7.2% in 2007 to 9.2% in 2015. The low youth employment rate has quickly become a social problem not only in Korea but also worldwide. The Korean construction industry will gradually move its focus of investment from quantitative growth to investing in qualitative growth of the sector. In this sense, it is imperative to create jobs for construction engineers and train global talents. This study analyzed the presence of construction engineers and the employment status of university graduates in Korea to suggest ways to create jobs for young construction engineers. To train global talents in the construction engineering sector, it will be necessary to not only establish middle-long term plans but also change the perception of the construction industry from 3D (dirty, difficult, dangerous) to 3C (clean, clear, creative) along with appropriate infrastructure supporting the industry.

Location tracking automation of resources in construction industry is one of the most important procedures to improve construction project performance and reduce the period of construction. Recently, location tracking technologies have proven to be effective in tracking construction materials and equipment in real time through the instrumentality of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). By using wireless communication and inter-working system between RFID and USN, it is possible that construction engineers receive the location information of construction resources without additional efforts that move the RFID reader to read tags periodically. In the inter-working system, RFID reader delivers the acquired materials information to sensor node which is connected by serial interface. Then sensor node transmits the received data to the data aggregation terminal that is a sink node. The data aggregation terminal can transmit collected data to construction manager who is out of construction site using infrastructure such as CDMA(Code Division Multiple Access) network. The combination model of the two system and field test scenarios are presented in this paper.

This research considers the role of knowledge as marketing message, designs and analyses the personal experience management (PEM) business model using Human-Reader system. It is difficult to save and manage person's daily experience and relevant contents due to the lack of proper infrastructure and system. On the contrary, using Human-Reader infrastructure, person's experience and various relevant contents can be easily saved and managed because seamlessness between offline and online and the various devices that person can always carry along in ubiquitous environment. Since person can store and manage information, contents and advertisements through Human-Reader system and u-PEMS, marketing messages and advertisements do not have to be repetitive and stimulating. Instead, marketing messages and advertisements in Human-Reader environment should be granting values that can be saved and managed. We propose various scenarios, processes and its issues. And we analyze the expected value of RFID tag used on the proposed business model by so-called 'Tag Evaluation Model' and assess the assumptions that are basis of the proposed business model for evaluate the feasibility of the u-PEM business model.

Regardless of the domestic and foreign governments/companies, SOC (Security Operation Center) has operated 24 hours a day for the entire year to ensure the security for their IT infrastructures. However, almost all SOCs have a critical limitation by nature, caused from heavily depending on the manual analysis of human agents with the text-based monitoring architecture. Even though, in order to overcome the drawback, technologies for a comprehensive visualization against complex cyber threats have been studying, most of them are inappropriate for the security monitoring in large-scale networks. In this paper, to solve the problem, we propose a novel visual approach for intuitive threats monitoring b detecting suspicious IP address, which is an ultimate challenge in cyber security monitoring. The approach particularly makes it possible to detect, trace and analysis of suspicious IPs statistically in real-time manner. As a result, the system implemented by the proposed method is suitably applied and utilized to the real-would environment. Moreover, the usability of the approach is verified by successful detecting and analyzing various attack IPs.

The growing demand of virtual computing and storage resources in the cloud computing environment has led to deduplication of storage system for effective reduction and utilization of storage space. In particular, large reduction in the storage space is made possible by preventing data with identical content as the virtual desktop images from being stored on the virtual desktop infrastructure. However, in order to provide reliable support of virtual desktop services, the storage system must address a variety of workloads by virtual desktop, such as performance overhead due to deduplication, periodic data I/O storms and frequent random I/O operations. In this paper, we designed and implemented a clustered file system to support virtual desktop and storage services in cloud computing environment. The proposed clustered file system provides low storage consumption by means of inline deduplication on virtual desktop images. In addition, it reduces performance overhead by deduplication process in the data server and not the virtual host on which virtual desktops are running.
