The advancement of information technologies including the Internet has affected the way of social information processing as well as brought about the paradigm shift to the information society. Accordingly, it is very important to study the process of social information processing over the digital media through which social information is generated, distributed, and led to social consensus. In this study, we analyze the mechanism of social information processing, identify a process model of social consensus and institutionalization of the results, and finally propose a set of information processing characteristics on the internet media. We deploy the ethnographic approach to analyze the meaning of group behavior in the context of society to analyze two major events which happened in Korean society. The formation process of social consensus is found to consist of 5 steps: suggestion of social issues, selective reflection on public opinion, acceptance of the issues and diffusion, social consensus, and institutionalization and feedback. The key characteristics of information processing in the Internet is grouped into proactive response to an event, the changes in the role of opinion leader, the flexibility of proposal and analysis, greater scalability, relevance to consensus making, institutionalization and interaction. This study contributes to the literature by proposing a process model of social information processing which can be used as the basis for analyzing the social consensus making process from the social network perspective. In addition, this study suggests a new perspective where the utility of the Internet media can be understood from the social information processing so that other disciplines including politics, communications, and management can improve the decision making performance in utilizing the Internet media.

국제경쟁사건을 해결하기 위하여 동원 가능한 일차적 수단은 법정지법인 경쟁법을 역외적용 하는 방안이지만 이 경우 국가간 마찰이나 외국 주권에 대한 침해논쟁이 유발될 수 있고, 관련 외국정부의 협력을 얻을 것도 필요하다. 국제경쟁사건을 해결하기 위한 근본적 수단으로는 각국 경쟁법을 조화시키거나 수렴하는 방안이 있다. 이는 우수한 규범형성에 관한 컨센서스 형성과 개별 법영역이 공통의 규범을 국내법으로 수용하는 절차라는 요소들로 구성된다. 후자는 연성수렴, 경성수렴 등 여러 방식으로 행해질 수 있다.

Collaborative recommendation is one of the most widely used methods of automated product recommendation in e-Commerce. For analyzing the customer's preference, traditional explicit ratings are less desirable than implicit ratings because it may impose an additional burden to the customers of e-commerce companies which deals with a number of products. Cardinal scales generally used for representing the preference intensity also ineffective owing to its increasing estimation errors. In this paper, we propose a new way of constructing the ordinal scale-based customer profile for collaborative recommendation. A Web usage mining technique and lexicographic consensus are employed. An experiment shows that the proposed method performs better than existing CF methodologies.

This paper investigates a synchronization algorithm for a distributed network which does not have a centralized infrastructure. In order to operate a distributed network, synchronization across distributed terminals should be acquired in advance, and hence, a plenty of distributed synchronization algorithms have been studied extensively in the past. However, most of the previous studies focus on the synchronization only in fault-free networks. Thus, if there are some malfunctioning terminals in the network, the synchronization can not be guaranteed with conventional distributed synchronization methods. In this paper, we propose a reliability-based adaptive consensus algorithm which can effectively acquire the synchronization across distributed terminals and confirm performance of the proposed algorithm by conducting numerical simulations.

현재 우리 대학은 입학자원의 급격한 감소와 같은 변화된 환경에 적합한 대학별 특유의 새로운 성장 동력을 찾지 못하고 전략적 혼란을 거듭하고 있다. 최근 많은 대학들이 특성화에 대한 인식을 전에 없이 달리하고 있는 것은 입학자원의 감소로 더이상의 확대전략이 한계에 부딪치고 한정된 입학자원을 두고 치열한 유치경쟁을 벌이는 가운데 교육품질을 제고하지 않고는 경쟁우위를 가질 수 없다는 사실을 현장에서 스스로 인식한 결과이다. 대학의 특성화는 구성원의 자발성과 경쟁, 이를 바탕으로 한 구성원 컨센서스를 추진동력으로, 일관되고 지속적으로 추진하지 않으면 실현 불가능한 시대적 난제임에 틀림없다.

This article examines China's political characteristics from a cultural perspective. First, it demonstrates the usefulness of the semiotic model through comparative analysis of various political and cultural research methods. Next, this model is used to analyze the representative religions of China, Confucianism and Taoism. Lastly, it analyzes the influence of the cultural codes derived through this on Chinese politics. In conclusion, China has a monolithic cultural code that seeks harmony with transcendental order centered on secular order. It is analyzed that the cultural code of this characteristic had an influence on the orientations of non-rationalization and realism.

This paper introduces a multilevel item-response-theory (IRT) model as a unifying model for hypothesis testing using legislative voting data. This paper shows that a probit or logit model is a special type of multilevel IRT model. In particular, it is demonstrated that, when a probit or logit model is applied to multiple votes, it makes unrealistic assumptions and produces incorrect coefficient estimates. The advantages of a multilevel IRT model over a probit or logit model are illustrated with a Monte Carlo experiment and an example from the U.S. House. Finally, this paper provides a practical guide to fitting this model to legislative voting data.

This paper investigates how public opinion has affected the United States Senate's votes on arms control treaties. Applying multilevel modeling with post-stratification to national polls, this paper produces estimates of state-level opinion on both the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010 and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty of 1999. Using these estimate, this paper examines the relationship between public opinion and the Senate's votes on the treaties. This paper finds that the influence of public opinion was mostly significant but indirect. These findings indicate that some version of the delegate model of representation is more applicable to foreign policy making in Congress.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between anti-Korean media and behavior. This study analyzed anti-Korean books published in Japan from 2000 to 2016. This study also analyses a survey conducted by those who have read that publication. According to the result, over half of the anti-Korea books published after 2010 and related to politics, history, and society of Korea. According to a result of the survey, people mainly get anti-Korean information from the Internet. Anti-Korean books affect to the anti-Korean information behavior not directly. In conclusion, while anti-Korean books affect anti-Korean behavior, it depends on the type of media.
