Plant construction projects usually take much higher uncertainty and risks than the projects from other domains. This implies the importance of plant construction project management should be more emphasized than the other domain. Especially, the overall successes of the projects often depend on the performance of process planning and scheduling performed at the initial stage of the project. However, most plant construction projects suffer great difficulties in establishing proper process planning and scheduling timely because of unstructureness and dynamicity of environment of the project itself In this paper, we propose a knowledge-based process planning and scheduling approach in a plant construction domain to cope this problem. First, we modulize process planning knowledge and present the knowledge representation scheme. Second, we propose an inferencing mechanism to build a process planning for plant construction based on the represented process planning knowledge. Since our approach automate the initial process planning, which was usually done by manual way, it can improve the correctness and also completeness of the process plan and schedule by reducing the time to plan and allowing simulations on the various situation. We also design and implement this our approach as a real working system, and it is successfully applied to real plant construction cases from a leading construction company in Korea. Based on this success, we expect our approach can be easily applied to the projects of other areas, while contributing to enhancement in productivity and quality of project management.

In order to apply strategic advanced project management to the Korean construction industry, the study conducted a comparative analysis of the project management body of knowledge of the advanced countries such as the USA and Japan as well as Europe. As a result, it was found that the connection to 'execution' of 'strategy' was highlighted as a common main issue in the theoretical background of project management body of knowledge, and strategic planning, which aligns 'program management' based on the integration of multiple project management and operations in single project with 'portfolio management' for selection and concentration, has been emphasized. Accordingly, the study built up the framework for the application of strategic advanced project management for strategic action in the Korean construction industry and proposed the following applicable solutions for implementation into the current Korean construction industry: 1) Innovate global competitiveness by preparing an 'ideology and philosophy' for the strategic action of an organization, 2) Establish a strategic 'environment' in consideration of the culture and structure of an organization, 3) Propose a strategic 'vision' for attaining a realizable goal within an organization, 4) Create an 'investment' on the portfolio in line with the strategy, 5) 'Execute' the program through the portfolio and project management. Lastly, the study brought up strategies for sustainable growth by applying strategic advanced project management to the Korean construction industry with a view to acquiring 'Performance' through the implementation and operation of their integrated system.

This study is to investigate an impact of emotional index, social network, and trust to customers on sales performance with emotional intelligence theory and social relationship theory. We found that the higher is seller's emotional index, the higher are cognitive and affective trust, and the high trust improves sales performance. We also found that the higher emotional index strengthens social network, but does not have an effect on cognitive and affective trust. With these results we provide the sales competency in clothing shop.

R is a free software for statistical analysis that provides simple interfaces to other application programs. Many people are trying to learn R, but it is difficult to learn R compared to commercial software such as SPSS or SAS, and it is cumbersome to provide an environment to teach R. Thus, it is essential to provide a new web-based R environment for novice users or for laboratory use. We developedWebER (a web-based R environment) using PHP on the Linux apache server. WebER can be easily used by any R user because we implemented the same functions as the basic Rgui such as editing R program, generating the text, image outputs, errors and warnings. It is also possible for multi-users to access WebER.

We extract the symptom of panic disorder from the context awareness environment. It extracts body context information through natural movement that exists in everyday life and uses a component of panic disorder. The ontology theory can be used to provide information on the degree of symptoms of panic disorder through inference process. For the components of panic disorder to the information processing based on ontology are defined as Classes. Panic disorder index is expressed through ontology modeling so that the condition of panic disorder can be known. The derivation of panic disorder component and panic disorder index will enable context awareness based information service for panic disorder. The context information is periodically synchronized with the context awareness on based device. Panic disorder can be used to improve the lifestyle of panic disorder.

Rapid growth of the domestic economy caused a lot of the demand of land information. The land information system has to keep the records of the various data about land that includes its owner and usages. Also the system must present adequate results that have been accumulated upon a user's request. Since Korean Government enforces 'Law of National Land Usage and Management', the land in rural area was also tightly regulated as much as that in the urban area. In fact, when people wants to develop their land, then they realize that their land has many restrictions and regulations to use. Sometimes, they find many regulations and restrictions even in a parcel. Thus, many people quite often want to know all the laws, rules, regulations, and restrictions etc., whatever applicable on the land they are interested in. to use. The purpose of this paper is to show a legal service system that precisely presents all the related laws, regulations, and restrictions. for a piece of the land. It summarizes the search results on users' requests. It uses a knowledge-based expert system to figure out the users requests. In this paper, we designed the system architecture of the software, and implemented its prototype. The results on this system show more concise and user friendlier than those of the existing systems.

The design and implementation of agents is an essential part of the development of immersive types of tutoring systems using virtual reality. This paper proposes several effective mechanisms for the design and implementation of agents. Unlike existing researches we focus on accommodating diversity of agents' behavior in the proposed mechanisms. First, we define the space object based on the field theory. The introduction of the field theory allows us to approach the space objects in a structural manner rather than by their classification. We can also achieve dynamic genesis and extinction of the space objects, and derivation of overall changes in spatio-temporal situations. Second, we classify the behavior of agents into composite behaviors and primitive actions in order to achieve its dynamic planning. Finally, we distribute the knowledge among agents and their associated objects according to their interrelations. By this distribution, we can handle the otherwise prohibitively large amount of knowledge related to agents' behaviors and construct a dynamic environment. By implementing a situation with agent's navigation across a composite space object, we demonstrate the effectiveness of these schemes presented above.

As defense science and technology are developing, smart weapons are being developed continually. The collection and analysis of the future strategic weapon information from all over the world have become a greater priority because information sharing became active. So, a system to manage and analyze heterogeneous defense intelligence is required. Semantic Web is the next generation knowledge information management technology for integrating, searching and navigating heterogeneous knowledge resource. Recently, Semantic Web is wildly being used in intelligent information management system. Semantic Web supports the analysis with the high reliability because it supports the simple keyword search as well as the semantic based information retrieval. In this paper, we propose the semantic web based multi-dimensional information analysis system on the national defense weapons that constructs ontology for various weapons information such as weapon specifications, nations, manufacturers and technologies and searches and analyses the specific weapon based on ontology. The proposed system supports the semantic search and multi-dimensional information analysis based on the relations between weapon specifications. Also, our system improves the efficiency on acquiring smart weapon information because it is developed with ontology based on military experts' knowledge and various web documents related with various weapons and intelligent search service.

Stay-cable is one of the most important load carrying members in cable-stayed bridges. Monitoring structural integrity of stay-cables is crucial for evaluating the structural condition of the cable-stayed bridge. For stay-cables, tension and damping ratio are estimated based on modal properties as a measure of structural integrity. Since the monitoring system continuously measures the vibration for the long-term period, data acquisition systems should be stable and power-efficiency as the hardware system. In addition, massive signals from the data acquisition systems are continuously generated, so that automated analysis system should be indispensable. In order to fulfill these purpose simultaneously, this study presents an autonomous cable monitoring system based on domain-knowledge using IoT for continuous cable monitoring systems of cable-stayed bridges. An IoT system was developed to provide effective and power-efficient data acquisition and on-board processing capability for Edge-computing. Automated peak-picking algorithm using domain knowledge was embedded to the IoT system in order to analyze massive data from continuous monitoring automatically and reliably. To evaluate its operational performance in real fields, the developed autonomous monitoring system has been installed on a cable-stayed bridge in Korea. The operational performance are confirmed and validated by comparing with the existing system in terms of data transmission rates, accuracy and efficiency of tension estimation.
