In a conventional ship structure, stiffeners with an asymmetric section, such as inverted angles, are used widely despite the disadvantage of strength compared to the stiffeners with a symmetric section, such as a built-up T. On the other hand, T-type built-up members are attracting more attention than L-type inverted angles due to the increased size of ships. The purpose of this study was to develop an optimal design program for a built-up T, and apply an evolution strategy as an optimization technique. In the optimization process, the gross thickness concept was adopted for the design variables and objective function, and the constraints are set up based on HCSR (Harmonized Common Structural Rules). Using the developed program in this study, the optimal stiffener design was carried out for 300K VLCC and 158K COT of which the orders were obtained lately. The optimal results revealed the weight reduction effect of 144 tons and 60 tons, respectively.

Understanding trends and drivers of technology diffusion is imperative to forecast new technology adoption and understand the process of technological innovation. Our research utilizes a quantitative trend analysis considering both technological and economic indicators for trends and drivers of technology diffusion for 32nm, 22nm, and 14nm logic semiconductor technology. In terms of technological performance, the technology diffusion curve showed an S-curve pattern during the stages of maturity and decline, and the diffusion curve showed evidence supporting the learning curve. The diffusion curve showed the life cycle duration of 2 years, and the rate of technological performance and obsolescence are observed quantitatively between generations. Architectural innovation is affected by technological drivers more significantly than economic drivers. This research has implications as empirical research on the trends and drivers of technology diffusion in the high-tech semiconductor industry, and is meaningful in forecasting new technology adoption or build technology strategy.

MOOCs become an innovative counterproposal of higher education while leading qualitative and quantitative expansion of open courses. KOCW which has adapted for providing open courses in Korea is expected to be evolved along with the development of MOOCs. However, there is a chance to have a conflict or resistance if MOOCs will be transferred without considering domestic situations or opening of universities' classes won't be able to evolve in OCW environment anymore. In this case, it will be hard to take advantages of MOOCs' that provide opportunities for embodying popularization and individualization of education. Thus, it is important to develop strategies for employing recent trends of MOOCs in Korean environment for the sustainable development of higher education. In this paper, design elements required for Korean MOOCs has been studied through SWOT analysis.

The key objective of terrorism is to create favorable conditions for certain political, ideological, or religious interests through deliberate social chaos and the spread of fear. Accordingly, terrorist groups rally the means and methods capable of spreading fear among the public through shocking violence. Consequently, as terrorism manifests the progress in modern civilization and the structure of international community, its concepts, means, and methods evolve organically with the progress. The characteristics of the modern terrorism include that it has evolved as a means of war against countries by non-state militant groups, and suicide terrorism is spreading like epidemic as it fits the strategies of Islamic extremist and terrorist organizations as a part of international politics based on terrorism. The humanity's efforts to eliminate the threat of terrorism led to decades of implementing premature policies of military force, but they were found ineffective and resulted in the spread of extreme threat of suicide terrorism. For prevention of suicide terrorism, the efforts must be made to dismantle the basis of suicide attacks through addressing religious alienation and antipathy against a civilization using the notions similar to treatment of pathology considering psychological motives of suicide terrorists.

Today, the structure of terrorist organizations in the form of a variety of network complexity are evolving. However, terrorist organization not combining randomly generated network but preferential attachment a network. So, it's research should be preceded a better understanding about the characteristics and type of terror network for a effective counter-terrorism policy of law enforcement. In addition, the appropriate response strategy have to technique establish in an era of smart media. In particular, homegrown terrorist attacks on unspecified people without boundaries of countries and regions unlike the traditional terrorism. Also, homegrown terrorism are violence and criminal activity by new various of religion, politics, philosophy. Besides the extreme members of homegrown terror networks went grow up through the evolutionary process in the age of smart media. Law enforcement agencies must identify the terrorist network at the national level. Therefore, terror networks evolving in the online space, forming a radical homegrown terror organizations have access to the network. Intelligence community track terrorist networks and to block the negative aspects of the smart media outlets should be considered.

Corrugated bulkheads have many advantages compared to stiffened bulkheads, and they have thus been used for the cargo tank bulkheads of commercial vessels, such as bulk carriers, product oil carriers, and chemical tankers. Various studies have been carried out to find the optimum corrugation shape for bulk carriers, but optimum design studies for chemical tankers with bulkheads made of high-priced materials are scarce. The purpose of this study is to develop a minimum weight design method for horizontal corrugated bulkheads for a chemical tanker. An evolution strategy (ES) that searches for a reliable global optimum point was applied as an optimization technique, and the structural safety of the optimum design was verified through structural analysis using the finite element method (FEM). The results were compared with those of an existing ship, which showed a weight reduction of about 14% with equivalent structural strength.

In real-time system application, the feature extraction and scoring algorithm for classification of the passive sonar target has the following problems: it requires an accurate and efficient feature extraction method because it is very difficult to distinguish the features of the propeller shaft rate (PSR) and the blade rate (BR) from the frequency spectrum in real-time, it requires a robust and effective feature scoring method because the classification database (DB) composed of extracted features is noised and incomplete, and further, it requires an easy design procedure in terms of structures and parameters. To solve these problems, an intelligent feature extraction and scoring algorithm using the evolution strategy (ES) and the fuzzy theory is proposed here. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, a passive sonar target classification is performed in real-time. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively solves sonar classification problems in real-time.

This paper is the UX-based technology strategy research which is a solution to how conversational AI can be ethically evolved in the Metaverse environment. Since conversational AI influences people's on-offline decision-making factors through interaction with people, the Metaverse AI ethics must be reflected. In the machine learning process of conversational AI, cultural codes along with user's personal experience data must be included and considered to reduce the error value of user experience. Through this, the super-personalized Metaverse service can evolve ethically with social values. With above hypothesis as a result of the study, a conceptual model of a forward-looking perspective was developed and proposed by adding user experience data to the machine learning (ML) process for context-based interactive AI in the Metaverse service environment.

Recently, as the needs of developing the micro autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) are increasing, the acquisition of the elementary technology is urgent. While they mostly utilizes information of the forward looking sonar (FLS) in conventional studies of the local path control as an elementary technology, it is desirable to use the obstacle avoidance sonar (OAS) because the size of the FLS is not suitable for the micro AUV. In brief, the local path control system based on the OAS for the micro AUV operates with the following problems: the OAS offers low bearing resolution and local range information, it requires the system that has reduced power consumption to extend the mission execution time, and it requires an easy design procedure in terms of its structures and parameters. To solve these problems, an intelligent local path control algorithm based on the beam modeling of OAS with the evolution strategy (ES) and the fuzzy logic controller (FLC), is proposed. To verify the performance and analyze the characteristic of the proposed algorithm, the course control of the underwater flight vehicle (UFV) is performed in the horizontal plane. Simulation results show that the feasibility of real application and the necessity of additional work in the proposed algorithm.
