The concept of HSA (Home Service Aggregator) is derived from performing the energy IT business efficiently as well as successfully launcing a new service based on BPL (Broadband over Power Line). The HSA business using a BPL can extend the field of energy industry and an give a chance to create a new demand by consumer-oriented services. This study focuses on the exact evaluation of HSA business using BPL, and reasonable trusty evaluation should be the first step to launch the HSA business. In this study, the categories of cost are comprised of equipment (mainly RSM and MGW) cost, instalation cost, and maintenance cost. AMR (Automatic Meter Reading), internet integration billing service, integration charging service, internet service, sorority service, and electricity safety are listed for benefit. In this study, the ROI of HSA business is 0.9594, which is less than 1. However, that value does not consider the electricity safety benefit which is classified as a social benefit. Therefore, the value can be above 1 if it includes social and private benefits.

Islands are supplied with power from diesel generation or from photovoltaic power generation, and problems with offshore environmental impacts (age deterioration, salt pollution), environmental pollution (exhaust gas, noise, dust) and power generation costs (installation, maintenance) have increasingly emerged. In 2016, the cost recovery rate was only 27%, and deficits reached 73% on 65 islands managed by KEPCO. In terms of deficits, the costs incurred in the power generation sector accounted for 91%, with the ratio of fixed costs at about 60%. Analysis suggests that operating costs can be reduced with an optimal power supply system that improves power generation efficiency and makes operating systems more efficient. Therefore, it is possible to simplify fuel transportation and facility maintenance, because one island integrates the power plants of remote islands, and offshore cable is used to supply power to the other islands. From the economic evaluations in this paper, an algorithm deciding offshore cable layout validity for an integrated power supply between adjacent islands is presented. Simulation results based on the proposed algorithm confirmed that an integrated power supply is economical for existing stand-alone operations on islands having diesel generation, low peak power, and near distances.

Most decision support functions of spatial data warehouse rely on the OLAP operations upon a spatial cube. Meanwhile, higher performance is always guaranteed by indexing the cube, which stores huge amount of pre-aggregated information. Hierarchical Dwarf was proposed as a solution, which can be taken as an extension of the Dwarf, a compressed index for cube structures. However, it does not consider the spatial dimension and even aggregates incorrectly if there are redundant values at the lower levels. OLAP-favored Searching was proposed as a spatial hierarchy based OLAP operation, which employs the advantages of R-tree. Although it supports aggregating functions well against specified areas, it ignores the operations on the spatial dimensions. In this paper, an indexing approach, which aims at utilizing the concept hierarchy of the spatial cube for decision support, is proposed. The index consists of concept hierarchy trees of all dimensions, which are linked according to the tuples stored in the fact table. It saves storage cost by preventing identical trees from being created redundantly. Also, it reduces the OLAP operation cost by integrating the spatial and aspatial dimensions in the virtual concept hierarchy.

Most work on multimedia storage systems has assumed that client will be serviced using a round-robin strategy. The server services the clients in rounds and each client is allocated a time slice within that round. Furthermore, most such algorithms are evaluated on the basis of a tightly coupled cost function. This is the basis of well-known algorithm such as FCFS, SCAN, SCAN-EDF, etc. In this paper, we describe a scheduling module called Request Unifier(RU) that takes as input, a set of client request, and a set of constraints on the desired performance such as client waiting time or maximum disk bandwidth, and a cost function. It produces as output a Unified Read Request(URR), telling the storage server which data items to read and when these data items to be delivered to the clients. Given a cost function, a URR is optimal if there is no other URR satisfying the constraints with a lower cost. We present three algorithms in this paper that can accomplish this kind of request merging and compare their performance through an experimental evaluation.

In cloud environment, business intelligence data warehouse is used for decision making and enterprise policy. But if new system is added in cloud environment, much cost and time is needed due to heterogenous characteristics in data integration. This paper suggests a data cleaning system for business intelligence in cloud environment. The proposed system minimizes the effect of local system when it integrates distributed system using XMDR-DAI. And this system provides standardized information to generate information of data warehouse in real time. Also the proposed system saves cost and time by integrating the data without a change of existed system. And it can improve quality of information by generating coherent information through data extraction and cleaning work in real time.

In this paper we performed evaluation of the economics of a district heating system (DHS) consisting of energy suppliers and consumers, heat generation and storage facilities and power transmission lines in the capital region, as well as identification of optimal operating conditions. The optimization problem is formulated as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) problem where the objective is to minimize the overall operating cost of DHS while satisfying heat demand during 1 week and operating limits on DHS facilities. This paper also propose a new forecasting model of the system marginal price (SMP) using past data on power supply and demand as well as past cost data. In the optimization, both the forecasted SMP and actual SMP are used and the results are analyzed. The salient feature of the proposed approach is that it exhibits excellent predicting performance to give improved energy efficiency in the integrated DHS.

Today, companies are increasingly focused on SCM (Supply Chain Management) as a means for cost-cutting and efficient operation. The company's ultimate objective is to win and maintain a sustained dominant position in the uncertainties of the global environment and future competitiveness. In this respect, this study examined the effects of management strategy, collaboration process and SCM integration on corporate performance in small and midsize parts manufacturers. The results of empirical analysis are summarized as follows. Management strategy, collaboration process and SCM integration had positive effects on corporate performance in domestic small and midsize parts manufacturers, and all hypotheses were supported. Consequently, it can be confirmed that quality, cost and flexibility for management strategy, and strategic objective perception, support policy, problem solution and knowledge information sharing for delivery and collaboration as small and midsize parts manufacturers are mechanisms for improving quality reliability, decreasing cost, delivery obedience and information system operation of SCM integration, and boosting corporate quantitative and qualitative performance.

To overcome the limitations of existing rainwater drainage systems, we compared and analyzed a newly developed eco-friendly channel-type rainwater drainage system. We also developed an integrated evaluation index to quantify the improvement of the new system. The concept of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was applied to calculate and compare the costs of each process and to develop the integrated evaluation index, which considers the carbon emissions by each process. As a result, the cost was reduced by 53% overall compared to an O-type system and by 63% compared to a U-type system. In addition, when applying the integrated evaluation index, the new system was evaluated to be over 80% in the four processes compared to the existing systems. When applying the evaluation index to sites in Anyang and Incheon, the new system was improved by 35-100% compared to existing systems.
