This study aims to investigate on the perception types of online games and their characteristics. In Study 1, perceptions of online games were researched through Q methodology. From the results, the perceptions of online games are classified into four types: 'Online Game is an Obstacle of Study'; 'Online Game is Just a Game'; 'Online Game is a Stain in Life'; 'Online Game is Vaguely Bad'. Each perception type has different characteristics in terms of perception of harmfulness of games, determination of the core of game problems, and perception of a parent-child relationship. In Study 2, the distribution and characteristics of each perception type were researched through an online survey. The results show differences in an attitude to online game using features and regulations as well as in demographic parameters such as sex and age. This study holds its significance in identifying the differences between perception types of online game and providing a basic study for policy making of healthy game culture.

In the current wireless Internet environment, using a mobile device to quickly access a web site is closely related to measuring the performance of a website. When accessing a website, the user has a long time to access the website and has no access to the website.In this case, the performance of the web site should be improved by measuring and analyzing the performance of the connection delay due to a problem of the web site.Among the performance measurement factors of Web sites, Web page loading time is a very important factor for a successful service business in the situation where most of e-commerce business is being developed as a web-based service.An open source tool was analyzed to analyze the performance of the e-commerce web page to present problems, software optimization methods and hardware optimization methods. Applying two optimization methods to suit the environment will enable stable and e-commerce websites.

There are various problems in the process of developing the game. Especially, there is a lot of problems in testing the balance of the value of each object. This causes problems such as an increase in development cost and a delay in development time. Therefore, if there is a tool or simulator that can test the mutual value balance of each object in advance, this problem can be solved. However, currently there are few simulators, tools, and platforms that can analyze and evaluate the mutual value balance between these objects. In this paper, I designed a platform to evaluate and test the mutual value balance between these objects based on mock battle. The designed platform tests and evaluates the abilities of each object according to their attack and defense strengths. So, this reduces development costs and shortens development time.

Since the elderly voices include a lot of noise caused by physiological changes in respiration, phonation, and resonance, the performance of the convergence health-care equipments such as speech recognition, synthesis, analysis program done by elderly voice is deteriorated. Therefore it is necessary to develop researches to operate health-care instruments with elderly voices. In this study, a voice activity detection using a symmetric higher-order differential energy function (SHODEO) was developed and was compared with auto-correlation function(ACF) and the average magnitude difference function(AMDF). It was confirmed to have a better performance than other methods in the voice interval detection. The voice activity detection will be applied to a voice interface for the elderly to improve the accessibility of the smart devices.

The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of dance sports for twelve weeks on physical self-efficacy in post-menopausal depression obese women. A total 38 women participated in this study, and they were divided into three groups: mild-depression group(n=9), light-depression group(n=14) and control group(n=15). For the exercise program in this study, a dance sports program performed at an intensity of heart rate reserve 50~80%, 60 minutes of exercise time, and the frequency of 3 times a week. Physical self-efficacy for mild-depression group after 12-week dance sports program was significantly increased compared to before the exercise. Although light-depression group and control group didn't show significant increase in physical self-efficacy, dance sports is expected to act positively on mental stability, such as depression and hope used as an effective tool to improve the quality of life. Furthermore, we expect a convergence is achieved between the sports science and medical research sectors.

MMORPGs may involve a great number of concurrent players, and those servers usually have to manage hundred, or even thousands of avatars co-existing in the same virtual world. So if failing to send a command or an event message, or sending it too late may cause damages to the avatar evolution(death, injury, loss of resources), and may result in unjustified penalties for the player. Many policies could be defined to realize a ranking evaluation of available servers. Unfortunately, due to the highly dynamic characteristics of server loads and network performances, any optimal allocation would soon become sub-optimal. In order to solve those problems we propose the "time-interval based fairness partitioning method"(TIP). TIP will distribute the avatar to the game server equally with time-interval in order to avoid the problems form the unfairness of game servers load.

Mobile virtualization is an approach to mobile device management in which two virtual platforms are installed on a single wireless device. A smartphone, a single wireless device, might have one virtual environment for business use and one for personal use. Mobile virtualization might also allow one device to run two different operating systems, allowing the same phone to run both RTOS and Android apps. In this paper, we propose the techniques to virtualize the cores of a multicore, allowing the reassign any number of vCPUs that are exposed to a OS to any subset of the pCPUs. And then we also propose the real-time scheduling method to assigning the vCPUs to the pCPU. Suggested technology in this paper solves problem that increases time of real-time process when interrupt are handled, and is able more to fast processing than previous algorithm.

U-WHS refers to a means of remote health monitoring service to combine fitness with wellbing. U-WHS is a system which can measure and manage biometric information of patients without any limitation on time and space. In this paper, we performed in order to look into the influence that the encryption module influences on the communication evaluation in the biometric information transmission gone to the smart mobile device and Hospital Information System.In the case of the U-WHS model, the client used the Objective-c programming language for software development of iOS Xcode environment and SEED and HIGHT encryption module was applied. In the case of HIS, the MySQL which is the Websocket API of the HTML5 and relational database management system for the client and inter-server communication was applied. Therefore, in WIFI communication environment, by using wireshark, data transfer rate of the biometric information, delay and loss rate was checked for the evaluation.

Purpose: This study was to analyze research reports published in Korea on physical activity for adult. Method: Based on inclusion criteria, 11 research reports were included in this review. Published year of selected articles was between 1990 and 2012. Eleven studies were analyzed by guidelines of the physical activity program done by experimental and quantitative research. Result: The characteristics of objects were mostly of non disease adult, over 65 years old, and female. Most educational content were about physical activity understanding, diet, nutrition. A large percentage of outcome indicators were body composition, physical function. Conclusion: Various types of physical activity program in Korea were performed by researchers. Therefore, we need to develop the standard protocol, to add educational intervention, and to study cost effectiveness of healthy.

Virtual Private Network is a method which can use as a private network using private line. The quality of security of virtual private network is influenced by security auditability, cryptographic support, user data protection, access control, etc., and efficiency is influenced by throughput, latency, the number of cession, etc. In this paper, we constructed a evaluation model based on CC(ISO/IEC 15408) and the quality evaluation standard ISO/IEC 25000 series to evaluate the quality level about efficiency with security performance of virtual private network. We think that this study will contribute to construct the system which can evaluate the quality of virtual private network based on CC and ISO quality evaluation standard.
