In this paper, we propose a function and service of the Disaster Crisis Alert Management System that automatically analyzes the situation judgment criteria to issue a disaster crisis alert and a plan to operate in the National Disaster Management System(NDMS). In the event of a disaster, a crisis alert(interest-caution-alert-serious) is issued according to the crisis alert level. In order to automatically analyze and determine the crisis alert level, first, data collection, crisis alert level analysis, crisis alert level judgment, and disaster crisis alert management system that expresses the crisis alert level by spatial scale(province, city, district) were implemented. The crisis alert level was analyzed and expressed in two ways by applying the intelligent crisis alert level(determination of regional sensitivity, risk level, and crisis alert level) and the crisis alert standard of the crisis management manual(province-level standard setting). Second, standard metadata, linkage of situation information of target) and API standards for data provision are presented to jointly utilize data linkage and crisis alert data of the disaster and safety data sharing platform so that it can be operated within the NDMS.

The 'alert' is to provide a signal or information beforehand, in order to prepare against situations in which abrupt incidents or disasters are expected. In other words, the purpose of alert is to help people or respondents to take precautions against and quickly cope with disasters or incidents, before those actually occur. This paper draws requirements of alert system from definitions of the alert and cases of it home and abroad. Following requirements of alert system are derived to allow subjects responsible for alert issue to quickly handle changes of situations; 1) identification of subjects responsible for alert issue, 2) use of definite terms regarding alert levels, for prompt actions, and 3) distinct separations among alert levels. This paper suggests improvement directions by extracting several problems of National Crisis Alert System according to such requirements.

In severe disaster situations, Emergency alert provide information for people to survive. However, the only device that can receive the Cell Broadcasting Service (CBS) of the Korean Public Alert System (KPAS), the Public Warning System (PWS), is Smart Phone and Receiving the disaster information is very limited. Therefore, this paper proposes a solution to the problem. First, we discover problems through the analysis of KPAS, and second, we propose Smart Watch and Navigation as devices to receive Emergency alert. The devices can receive disaster information through Bluetooth communication from Smart Phone and provide content such as disaster-related images and videos. Based on the proposed items, the application was developed, and as a result of the test, Smart Phone provided more disaster information like images and videos than current emergency alert, and the method of notification of emergency alert was varied. And Smart Watch and Navigation received disaster information successfully through Smart Phone, which also provided various disaster information like images and videos. The developed application has expanded functionally than the existing emergency alert and can benefit many people in emergency situations.

Effective alerts will drastically mitigate the disaster impacts. One way to enhance the effectiveness is to prepare multiple alert distribution channels. In this paper, we propose a new emergency alert distribution system that will solve the weaknesses of the current distribution systems, such as Cell Broadcasting System and T-DMB Automatic Emergency Alert Service. The weaknesses are: the limitation of message length, small portions of terminals that can receive and display the alert signal, and one-way communication service. To solve these problems, we propose an emergency alert distribution system over the Internet with RSS (Rich Site Summary) format. The system also has the capability of adaptive alert filtering according to the receiver characteristics. We analyzed the characteristics of RSS as an alerting format, and draw functional requirements satisfying use case scenarios. We designed the system only with major requirements and verified it on our test bed. Sending richer message contents through various receiving terminals, the system will achieve more effective emergency alert service.

As network systems are developed rapidly and network architectures are more complex than before, it needs to use PBNM(Policy-Based Network Management) in network system. Generally, architecture of the PBNM consists of two hierarchical layers: management layer and enforcement layer. A security policy server in the management layer should be able to generate new policy, delete, update the existing policy and decide the policy when security policy is requested. And the security policy server should be able to analyze and manage the alert messages received from Policy enforcement system in the enforcement layer for the available information. In this paper, we propose an alert analyzer using data mining. First, in the framework of the policy-based network security management, we design and implement an alert analyzes that analyzes alert data stored in DBMS. The alert analyzer is a helpful system to manage the fault users or hosts. Second, we implement a data mining system for analyzing alert data. The implemented mining system can support alert analyzer and the high level analyzer efficiently for the security policy management. Finally, the proposed system is evaluated with performance parameter, and is able to find out new alert sequences and similar alert patterns.

In digital TV broadcasting, such as terrestrial, cable, satellite, and IPTV, the head-end of digital TV broadcasting has a more complicated transmission structure than that of analog TV broadcasting. Furthermore, digital TV broadcasting has a feature that supports multiplex models, such as Multiple Program Transport Stream (MPTS). Therefore, the purpose of our work was to design and examine a more efficient new system of emergency alert message transmission to support the digital TV broadcasting environments. Digital TV broadcasting is the IP generation or RF transmission of 8-VSB, QAM, and QPSK modulated through a multiplexer or re-multiplexer multiplexed stream as a MPEG-2 Transport Stream after content encoding. The new system proposed in this paper transmits an emergency alert message without scrambling after replacing the PID and payload of the -packet with the message prototype in the TS stream from the multiplexer. If we need to transmit an emergency alert message under digital TV broadcasting services, then the receiver first checks the PID of each packet in the TS stream for the emergency alert message. Next, if a packet is determined to be an emergency alert message, then the set-top box displays the message on the TV screen using its function of On Screen Display, or the PC based software displays the message on the monitor screen using its function of overlay with user interface if the packet is found to be an emergency alert message. We have designed an emergency alert message protocol and a system model. By experiments and analysis of the system, we concluded that the system achieved efficiency and the ability to send and receive emergency alert messages using the system under different digital TV broadcasting service environments.

In this paper, we proposed a data mining framework for the management of alerts in order to improve the performance of the intrusion detection systems. The proposed alert data mining framework performs alert correlation analysis by using mining tasks such as axis-based association rule, axis-based frequent episodes and order-based clustering. It also provides the capability of classify false alarms in order to reduce false alarms. We also analyzed the characteristics of the proposed system through the implementation and evaluation of the proposed system. The proposed alert data mining framework performs not only the alert correlation analysis but also the false alarm classification. The alert data mining framework can find out the unknown patterns of the alerts. It also can be applied to predict attacks in progress and to understand logical steps and strategies behind series of attacks using sequences of clusters and to classify false alerts from intrusion detection system. The final rules that were generated by alert data mining framework can be used to the real time response of the intrusion detection system.

Chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration and cyanobacterial cell density are regularly employed as dual criteria for determinations of the alert level for cyanobacterial bloom. However, chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ is not confined only to the cyanobacteria, but is found universally in eukaryotic algae. Furthermore, the determination of cyanobacterial cell counts is notoriously difficult, and is unduly dependent on individual variation and trained skill. A cyanobacteria-specific parameter other than the cell count or chlorophyll ${\alpha}$ concentration is, accordingly, required in order to improve the present cyanobacterial bloom alert system. Phycocyanin has been shown to exhibit a strong correlation with a variety of bloom-related factors. This may allow for the current alert system criteria to be replaced by a three-stage alert system based on phycocyanin concentrations of 0.1, 30, and $700\;{\mu}g/L$. This would also be advantageous in that it would become far more simple to conduct measurements without the need for expensive equipment, thereby enabling the monitoring of entire lakes more precisely and frequently. Thus, an alert system with superior predictive ability based on highthroughput phycocyanin measurements appears feasible.

In this paper, we propose an emergency wake-up alert system (EWAS) for providing accurate and rapid emergency information. The proposed system can provide an emergency wake-up alert service without an additional frequency allotment by utilizing the guard band of the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) Terrestrial Digital Television (DTV) system. The design target of the proposed system is to match the indoor reception coverage of EWAS with the outdoor reception coverage of the ATSC DTV system. To achieve this, the proposed system should be about 35.65 dB more robust than the ATSC DTV system. The simulation results show that the proposed system offers an emergency wake-up alert service supporting a data rate of up to 23 bps.

When a disaster occurs, effective alerts will reduce human life and property loss. The Integrated Emergency Alert System is a national disaster management system which integrates existing alert systems to deliver effective disaster alerts. Alert message exchange protocol is the essential technology for the System. In Korea, the first specification for "Common Alerting Protocol Profile for Integrated Emergency Alert System" was established in 2014. In this paper, we derive two additional requirements for more enhanced alert service and propose revision of the specification: multilingual alert service for foreigners and more flexible representation of target area. We review the associated foreign profile specifications as well as the domestic specifications to analyze these requirements. Finally, we propose the most efficient way to deliver multilingual alert message and to represent target area.
