A variety of sensors is widely used these days, and it has become much easier to acquire spatial big data streams from various sources. Since spatial data streams have inherently skewed and dynamically changing distributions, the system must effectively distribute the load among workers. Previous studies to solve this load imbalance problem are not directly applicable to processing spatial data. In this research, we propose Adaptive Spatial Key Grouping (ASKG). The main idea of ASKG is, by utilizing the previous distribution of the data streams, to adaptively suggest a new grouping scheme that evenly distributes the future load among workers. We evaluate the validity of the proposed algorithm in various environments, by conducting an experiment with real datasets while varying the number of workers, input rate, and processing overhead. Compared to two other alternative algorithms, ASKG improves the system performance in terms of load imbalance, throughput, and latency.

소수력은 온실가스 배출량이 적은 친환경 청정에너지원이면서 지역의 분산전원에 기여할 수 있는 유용한 자원으로 평가되고 있다. 이러한 여건은 소수력발전 사업이 전력의 smart grid 구축 효과로 인해 가장 큰 효율성을 달성할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. 국내 소수력발전은 1500Mw의 부존량을 가진 것으로 평가되고 있으나 계절적 편중으로 인한 가동률 부족, 경제성 부족 등으로 활발한 보급이 이루어지지 않고 있다. 특히 신재생에너지 확대 전략에도 불구하고 지원금 등 경제적 인센티브 부족으로 인해 민간부문의 참여는 상당히 저조하다. 그럼에도 불구하고 수력에너지는 환경친화적이고 잠재성이 큰 신재생에너지로 온실가스 저감과 에너지 확보에 기여할 수 있다. 특히 수력에너지는 민간투자의 어려움이 존재하므로 정부의 장기적인 기술개발투자 및 효율성 확대 정책이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 소수력 확대의 경제 환경적 효과를 평가해보기 위해 연산일반균형모형 (CGE :Computable General Equilibrium Model)을 구축한다. 본 연구는 다음과 같이 수행되었다. 첫째, 수력발전부문과 수도사업을 구분하고 사회회계행렬을 작성하였으며, 전력부문에서 수력발전을 포함한 다단계 생산구조를 가정하였다. 둘째, 일반균형모형 방정식 체계를 작성하고 모형의 파라미터 추정 등 보정(Calibration) 작업을 수행하였다. 셋째, 국가 중기 온실가스저감 시나리오를 적용한 전망을 수행하고 소수력 확대(투자지원) 시나리오를 구축한다. 본 연구는 저감수단으로 탄소세를 부과하였다. 끝으로, 소수력 발전 보급 확대의 경제적, 환경적 파급효과를 계산하였다. 분석결과, 소수력 발전 잠재 성장을 반영한 수력에너지 비중은 약 2020년에 약 4.5% 까지 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이로 인한 온실가스 저감 기여분은 약 3%에 이르는 것으로 계산 되었다. 또한 수도사업과 비에너지 제조업의 산업비중은 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 소수력 발전 확대가 화석연료 대체를 통한 지속가능한 에너지 수요에 기여하고 지역개발과 물산업 발전 등 경제적 파급효과 등을 유발할 수 있음을 시사한다. 또한 본 연구에서 고려하지 못한 소수력 기술 개발은 에너지 대체 촉진으로 인한 온실가스 저감과 녹색성장에 기여할 것이다.

Even though many studies on parallel rendering based on PC clusters have been done. most of those did not cope with non-uniform scenes, where locations of 3D models are biased. In this work. we have built a PC cluster system with POV-Ray, a free rendering software on the public domain, and developed an adaptive load balancing scheme to optimize the parallel efficiency Especially, we noticed that a frame of 3D animation are closely coherent with adjacent frames. and thus we could estimate distribution of computation amount, based on the computation time of previous frame. The experimental results with 2 real animation data show that the proposed scheme reduces by 40% of execution time compared to the simple static partitioning scheme.

Recently, instead of a high-cost supercomputer, there haws been widely used a NOW system that consists of low-cost PCs and workstations connected all over the network In a NOW, performance for parallel processing depends on the computation pouter of each computer and communication time. Currently, a lot of methods have been proposed in order to increase the performance of parallel processing. However, the previous results have been studied in the view of balancing work load as the computation pouter of each computer. If a computer has multiple work precesses in a NOW, we can predict a decrease of communication tire needed in message passing, Therefore, in this paper, we analyzes factors of improving the performance in the view of work precesses, and evaluates experimently an effect on total performance as the number of work processes increases. Also, we propose a new broadcasting method to be used in experiment of this paper. This paper uses the LAM/MPI for an experimental evaluation.

Ranking-based conjoint analysis is widely used in various fields such as marketing research. While the ranking-based conjoint affords several advantages over the rating-based or choice-based conjoint, it has a serious shortcoming that respondents have much difficulty in ranking the product profiles in order of preference when many profiles are involved. This article suggests a new method for the preference measurement to improve the response efficiency. The method employs the concept of ranking sets that let the respondent evaluate a small number of profiles at a time. Through the proposed method, preference rankings of profiles obtained from each ranking set are aggregated to generate overall rankings. The balanced incomplete block design is expanded and transformed to the dual design in order to construct well-balanced ranking sets that can accommodate a large number of profiles. The proposed method is applied to the analysis of consumer preferences for perfume-for-women.
