Shorelines should be extracted with consistency because they are the reference for determining the shape of a country. Even in the same area, inconsistent minimum vertex intervals cause inconsistencies in the coastline length, making it difficult to acquire reliable primary data for national policy decisions. As the shoreline length cannot be calculated consistently for shorelines produced by determining the arbitrary distance between points below 1m, a methodology to calculate consistent shoreline length using the minimum vertex interval is proposed herein. To compare our results with the shoreline length published by KHOA(Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency) and analyze the change in shoreline length according to the minimum vertex interval, target sites was selected and the grid overlap of the shoreline was determined. Based on the comparison results, minimum grid sizes and the minimum vertex interval can be determined by deriving a polynomial function that estimates minimum grid sizes for determining consistent shoreline lengths. By comparing public shoreline lengths with generalized shoreline lengths using various grid sizes and by analyzing the characteristics of the shoreline according to vertex intervals, the minimum vertex intervals required to achieve consistent shoreline lengths could be estimated. We suggest that the minimum vertex interval methodology by quantitative evaluation of the determined grid size may be useful in calculating consistent shoreline lengths. The proposed method by minimum vertex interval determination can help derive consistent shoreline lengths and increase the reliability of national shorelines.

Significant research has been devoted to the consistency index of the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) from several perspectives. Critics of the consistency index in AHP state that the critical value of consistency index depends on an average of the random index based simulation study using a 9 scale comparison matrix. We found that the distribution of the consistency index followed the skew distribution according to the dimension of the comparison matrix based on a simulation study with a 9 scale comparison matrix. From the simulation study, we suggest a consistency index quantile table to assist the decision-making process in AHP; in addition, we can approximate the distribution of the consistency index to the gamma distribution under the limited assumptions.

Global optimization that considers the processes at integrated steel mills is more important than the local optimization to improve the efficiency of a single process. Research utilizing mathematical models at integrated steel mills predominantly focus on solving problems solely for a specific process or focusing on what techniques are applied to. However, it is important to define the problems that must be solved at the steelworks, identify the objectives and constraints that can be modeled, and selection of methodologies that can be applied to the problems. The purpose of this study is to investigate the problems in improving efficiency at integrated steel mills from the viewpoint of production & operations management. We review the research have been conducted in order to solve those problems. We classified the research into 6 categories and suggested future research direction based on the global optimization. It is expected that research themes for improving the efficiency at integrated steel mills will be derived.

This study is an analytical study on textbooks of , which was first presented in the 2015 revised high school mathematics curriculum. The textbook has a very high educational significance in that it is the first textbook developed for students majoring in economics. Analyzing whether these textbooks faithfully follow the spirit of the curriculum is an essential study for nurturing creative and convergent human beings and for personal self-realization. Therefore, in this study, a consistency analysis was conducted to determine whether the textbook fits the textbook development direction suggested by the curriculum developer and is appropriate for the state-approved mathematics curriculum. As a result of analysis, the contents of the textbook did not partially meet these criteria and lacked consistency. In conclusion, it is necessary to prepare more thorough standards for the examination and recognition of high school elective courses in the future.

Product line architectures include variable parts to be selected according to product specific requirements. In order to derive architectures that are valid for a particular product from product line architectures, variabilities of product line architectures must be systematically managed. In this paper, we adopt an approach to variability management of product line architectures through an explicit mapping between a feature model and product line architecture models. If this mapping is incorrect or there exists inconsistency among product line architectural elements, variabilities of product line architectures cannot be managed correctly. Therefore, this paper formally defines product line architectural models in terms of conceptual, process, deployment, and module views, and mapping relationships between the feature model and the architectural models. Consistency rules for correct variability management of product line architectures are defined in terms of consistency in each of product line architecture model, consistency between different architectural view models, and consistency between a feature model and product line architectural models. These consistency rules provide a theoretical foundation for deriving valid product architecture from product line architectures.

The UML is a widely accepted standard in object-oriented modeling. As the UML is semantically rich, we can describe in detail the system that will be developed, but we cannot guarantee the correctness and consistency of the designed model. Therefore, it is important to minimize the error by verifying user models in an early stage. In this paper, we propose a method for verifying the consistency of UML structural diagrams and behavioral diagrams using OCL verification rules and meta-metamodel. The consistency is a nature for checking whether the structural diagrams and behavioral diagrams are coherently designed according to a specific requirement. First we build meta-metamodels of the structural diagram and behavioral diagram that are described with the UML diagrams and the related elements, we derive rules for verifying the consistency from each meta-metamodels, and then formally specify with the language such as OCL for automatic verification. Finally, we verify the usefulness of the rule through a case study.

Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and Trans-Atlantic Trade and Partnership Agreement introduce "regulatory coherence." Regulatory coherence refers to "the use of good regulatory practices in the process of planning, designing, issuing, implementing and reviewing regulatory measures in order to facilitate achievement of domestic policy objectives, and in efforts across governments to enhance regulatory cooperation in order to further those objectives and promote international trade and investment, economic growth and employment." This paper traces ideas dealing with regulatory reform and regulatory transparency as discussed in OECD, APEC and selected WTO agreements, examines the text of the regulatory coherence chapter of TPP and TTIP, then examines the regulatory reform system of Korea to see whether Korea satisfies the conditions set forth in the regulatory coherence chapter of TPP. The paper concludes that the Korean regulatory reform system mostly satisfies the requirements of the TPP chapter on regulatory coherence, but some additional procedural reforms are needed for laws proposed by National Assemblymen, and regional laws proposed by regional governments. Finally, the paper notes that the Korean government has been mis-translating regulatory coherence as regulatory convergence, which is a separate idea, and the government should correct its error as soon as possible.

Over the last decade, interactive devices such as mobile phones have become complicated drastically mainly because of feature creep, the tendency for the number of features in a product to rise with each release of the product. One of the ways to reduce the complexity of a multi-functional device is to design it consistently. Although the definition of consistency is elusive and it is sometimes beneficial to be inconsistent, in general, consistently designed systems are easier to learn, easier to remember, and causing less errors. In practice, however, it is often not easy to design the user interaction or interface of a multi-functional device consistently. Since the interaction design of a multi-functional device should deal with a large number of design variables and relations among them, solving this problem might be very time-consuming and error-prone. Therefore, there is a strong need for a well-developed methodology that supports the complex design process. This study has developed an effective and efficient methodology, called CUID (Consistent Design of User Interaction), which focuses on logical consistency rather than physical or visual consistency. CUID deals with three main problems in interaction design: procedure design for each task, decisions of available operations(or functions) for each system state, and the mapping of available operations(functions) and interface controls. It includes a process for interaction design and a software tool for supporting the process. This paper also demonstrates how CUID supports the consistent design of user interaction by presenting a case study. It shows that the logical inconsistencies of a multi-functional device can be resolved by using the CUID methodology.

On freeways, factors inducing traffic accidents consist of two major elements such as driver factors and road environment factors. Research have been done and shown that there would be relationship between design elements such as radius, slopes, superelevations, and observed speeds and accident rates. The present paper confirms that these elements are correlated with accident rates. Furthermore, the paper identifies standard deviation of these elements as the design consistency and compare them with reduction of accident rates. This type of work leads to identify the fact that standard deviations based design consistency are correlated with accident rates. The results of the paper may contribute to encourage the quantified use of design consistency during highway design.

유수사용허가업무를 담당하는 실무자들은 현행 공무원 보직체계에 따라 인사이동이 되는 경우가 많으므로 유수사용허가업무를 수행하는 담당자의 해당 분야에 대한 전문성이 결여될 수 있다. 또한, 유수사용허가 권한 자체가 수계나 하천의 등급에 따라 각 하천의 홍수통제소와 지방자치 단체에 위임되어 있어 동일한 업무이지만 업무의 일관성이 보장되기 힘든 여건이다. 따라서, 업무를 일관적으로 처리할 수 있는 시스템의 개발이 절실히 요구된다. 특히 국유인 수자원을 배분하는 유수사용허가 검토는 일관된 방법과 기준을 적용해야 하는 것이므로 컴퓨터 시스템으로 개발할 경우 간단한 조작방법을 습득하는 것만으로 업무의 일관성을 유지 할 수 있는 장점이 있으며, 여러 사용자가 동시에 접속하여 사용이 가능한 웹 프로그램을 이용한다면, 4대강 홍수통제소 및 각 지방자치단체로 분할된 업무를 하나의 시스템에서 체계적으로 수행할 수 있게 된다. 하천유수사용허가관리를 위한 시스템은 유역에 대하여 상 하류에 걸쳐 일관성 있게 적용할 수 있는 자동화된 물수지 분석을 실시할 수 있으며, 유수사용허가에 따른 허가이력 관리, 서식의 자동출력, 허가대장의 시스템과의 연계운영 등을 전산화하였다. 하천유수사용허가관리시스템은 웹기반 의사결정 시스템으로서 앞으로 각 유역에서 발생되는 신규 하천유수사용허가신청의 허가여부 검토와 허가 갱신시 허가량 조정 등에 사용할 수 있으며 수리권 및 시설물 정보의 유지 관리에 도움을 줄 것이다.
