오늘날 인터넷은 의식주와 더불어 삶에 유용한 다양한 정보를 제공하늘 생활 필수품이다. 의식주가 인간의 육체적인 건강을 담당한다면, 인터넷은 정신적인 삶의 질을 담당한다. 그런데 음란사이트는 아직 정신적으로 미숙한 청소년들에게 선별 없이 개방되고 쉽게 노출될 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 웹사이트의 문서가 음란 문서인지 비음란 문서인지를 바르게 판정하기 위하여 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 단어에 가중치를 배정하는 문제에 대하여 연구한다. 실험 결과 이렇게 배정된 가중치를 이용하여 평균 93.84%의 인식률로 음란 문서와 비음란 문서를 식별할 수 있었다. 여기서 문서의 음란여부를 판정하기 위하여 가중치를 배정하는 단어는 Zipf's law에 기반 하여 선정하였다.

This research observes how an adolescent's usage of social network services is related with media use time, and also tries to verify how a parent's participation in acting to limit usage time serves as a mediating effect. For this analysis, data from The Korean Information Society Development Institute [Korea Media Panel Research] was used, being a survey conducted on 1,572 students from primary to secondary and high schools nationwide. The subjects' gender in the final analysis was 818 male students and 754 female students. In addition, primary school students consisted of 672 individuals, 416 were from secondary and 484 from high schools. To verify the appropriateness of the model proposed in this research, analyzed through the structural equation, using social network services(SNS) was not shown to have an effect on media usage time. However, there was an indirect effect from the use of alternative activities. In addition, the parent's limitation of usage showed no effect on media use time. This research attempts to identify the reasons why parents' limiting the usage time, along with alternative activities, do not have any significant effect in reducing media usage time in this era of smart media evolution. Further, this research hopes to suggest meaningful and political implications for the nation and society to understand and resolve media addiction.

In the case of a weak self-control youth, young students easily tend to fall into addiction by using the Internet as a sensation seeking and an alternative to escape the reality. Until now, internet addiction self-diagnosis techniques such as Internet addiction scale have been developed and used to solve this kind of internet addiction issue. However, traditional methods do not assess the correlation of addiction and the effects of the environment systematically because they are simply composed of redundant addiction scale criteria and questionnaire forms of the diagnostic methods. Thus, in this paper, we propose a new internet addiction self-diagnosis technique based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and implement a self-diagnosis system in order to make a systematic internet addiction self-diagnosis system. In addition, we analyze the correlation of the measured data based on different perspectives such as home environment, family relationships, peer relationships, school life, and so on.
