One of the best important thing in data mining process is the quality of data used. When we perform the mining on data with excellent quality, the potential value of data mining can be improved. In this paper, we propose the data fusion technique for data enrichment that one phase can improve data quality in KDD process. We attempted to add k-NN technique to the regression technique, to improve performance of fusion technique through reduction of the loss of information. Simulations were performed to compare the proposed data fusion technique with the regression technique. As a result, the newly proposed data fusion technique is characterized with low MSE in continuous fusion variables.

Data mining is the work to extract information from existing data file. So, the one of best important thing in data mining process is the quality of data to be used. In this thesis, we propose the data fusion technique using decision rule for data enrichment that one phase to improve data quality in KDD process. Simulations were performed to compare the proposed data fusion technique with the existing techniques. As a result, our data fusion technique using decision rule is characterized with low MSE or misclassification rate in fusion variables.

Research is being made for users' convenient access to services such as personalized data and contents services. The use of information and the fusion of services in various devices and terminals suggest the necessity to know what personalization mechanism is used to provide high quality contents at a time and place desired by users. Existing mechanisms are not easy to be handled by other service providers because each service provider has different preference and personal information, and are very inconvenient because service users have to set up and manage by themselves. Thus, the present paper proposes a Semantic User Profiles Manager based on OSGi, middleware for the provision and extension of semantic services, in order to manage users' profiles dynamically regardless of service provider. In addition, this paper defines a personalized semantic profile that enables user profiling, ontological domain modeling and semantic reasoning. In order to test the validity of this paper, we implemented semantic profiles into a bundle running based on OSGi. When users enter the range of the service area and use various devices, the semantic service matches in correspondence with semantic user profiles. The proposed system can easily extend the matching of services to user profiles and matching between user profiles or between services.

Web 2.0 and Semantic Web technology will be merged to be a next generation Web that leads presentation-oriented Web to data-centric Web. In the next generation Web, semantic processing, Web platform, and data fusion are most important technology factors. Among them, Cool URI used for data fusion can provide permanent and human readable URI and it has been already used in Blog system. However, Cool URI is not suitable to I18N environment such as Hangul and it is difficult to be adopted because several encodings are mingled in Korea Web society. In this paper, we discussed technology issues and Cool URI Web component to use Cool URI with Internationalized Resource Identifier (IRI). A proposed approach provides same function regardless of encoding type and supports both file system based and CGI based methods to be easily used from other applications. Results from several test environments show the implemented Web component satisfy the design purpose.

Gender differences have been given major attention in mathematics education in the context of pursuing gender equity in instructional and learning environment. It had been traditional belief that male students would outperform female students in mathematics, especially in the areas as geometry. This belief has been given doubts by cumulated empirical evidences that gender differences are gradually diminishing or even reversing its direction as time goes on. In this study, gender differences in geometry were explored using TIMSS 8th grade mathematics data administered in TIMSS 2003, 2007, and 2011, based on a cognitive diagnostic modeling(CDM) approach. Among various CDM models, the Fusion model was employed. The Fusion model has advantages over other CDM models in that it provides more detailed information about gender differences at the attribute level as well as item level and more mathematically tractable. The findings of this study show that Attribute 3(Three-dimensional Geometric Shapes) revealed statistically significant gender differences favoring male students in TIMSS 2003 and 2007, but did not show significant differences in TIMSS 2011, which provides an additional empirical evidence supporting the recent observation that gender gap is narrowing. In addition to the general trends in gender differences in geometry, this study also provided affluent information such as gender differences in attribute mastery profiles and gender differences in relative contributions of each attribute in solving a particular item. Based on the findings of the CDM approach exploring gender differences, instructional implications in geometry education are discussed.

Personal Health Records(PHR) service offers patients a convenient and easy-to-use solution for managing their personal health records, crucial medical files, and emergency contacts. In spite of the indispensable advantages, PHR service brings critical challenges that cannot be avoided from consumer side if the security of the data is concerned. The problem of user's privacy infringement and leaking user's sensitive medical information is increasing with the fusion of PHR technology and healthcare. In this paper, therefore, we analyze the various security aspects that are vulnerable to the PHR service and needed to be resolved. Moreover, we analyze the security requirements from the point of view of the PHR users and application service providers and provides the PHR security mechanism for addressing PHR security threats and satisfying PHR security requirements.
