The purpose of this study was to analyze Korea STEAM Programs in the perspective of Engineering Design. A pilot study of analyzing 41 STEAM programs was conducted by using Guzey et al. (2014)'s STEM program analysis framework. Based on the pilot study result, we suggested specific criteria to analyze Korea STEAM program and developed an analysis framework by considering characteristics of Korea STEAM program we found. The analysis framework suggested by this study has 5 more criteria compared to the Guzey et al. (2014)'s framework. By using the suggested framework, we analyzed another 76 STEAM programs developed by the grant of Korea foundation for the Admin of Science & Creativity (KOFAC) in 2016. The analysis results show that only 28.5% of total 76 Korea STEAM programs are focused on Engineering Design and the programs categorized as 'Complete Engineering Design Lesson' were only 5.4%. More than half of the programs (62.3%) are focused on only science contents with crafting and/or concept drawing activities.

This article presents a computationally efficient framework for multi-objective seismic design optimization of steel moment-resisting frame (MRF) structures based on the nonlinear dynamic analysis procedure. This framework employs the uniform damage distribution philosophy to minimize the weight (initial cost) of the structure at different levels of damage. The preliminary framework was recently proposed by the authors based on the single excitation and the nonlinear static (pushover) analysis procedure, in which the effects of record-to-record variability as well as higher-order vibration modes were neglected. The present study investigates the reliability of the previous framework by extending the proposed algorithm using the nonlinear dynamic design procedure (optimization under multiple ground motions). Three benchmark structures, including 4-, 8-, and 12-story steel MRFs, representing the behavior of low-, mid-, and high-rise buildings, are utilized to evaluate the proposed framework. The total weight of the structure and the maximum inter-story drift ratio (IDRmax) resulting from the average response of the structure to a set of seven ground motion records are considered as two conflicting objectives for the optimization problem and are simultaneously minimized. The results of this study indicate that the optimization under several ground motions leads to almost similar outcomes in terms of optimization objectives to those are obtained from optimization under pushover analysis. However, investigation of optimal designs under a suite of 22 earthquake records reveals that the damage distribution in buildings designed by the nonlinear dynamic-based procedure is closer to the uniform distribution (desired target during the optimization process) compared to those designed according to the pushover procedure.

Software has been used to develop many functions of the modern weapon systems which has a high mission criticality. Weapon system software must consider multi-threaded processing to satisfy growing performance requirement. However, developing multi-threaded programs are difficult because of concurrency faults, such as unintended data races. Especially, it is important to prepare analysis for debugging the data races, because the weapon system software may cause personal injury. In this paper, we present an efficient framework of analysis, called ConDeWS, which is designed to determine the scope of dynamic analysis through using the result of static analysis and fault analysis. As a result of applying the implemented framework to the target software, we have detected unintended data races that were not detected in the static analysis.

Convergence is now the trend of knowledge information society. Information technology and knowledge transfer are main sources of convergence. There are many articles which studied outcomes of convergence while there are few articles that try to study the process of convergence. The purpose of this study is to investigate how convergence is dynamically formalized. For the analysis, we used Institutional Analysis and Development(IAD) framework from the point of convergence. IAD framework could synthetically study the origin and the process of convergence. We investigated the case of sillicon valley whether or not dynamics of ICT convergence could be explicable by IAD framework. The results shows that ICT technology and knowledge could be the enabler for the formation of convergence. ICT technology accelerates convergence and knowledge convergence from information converge different technologies and industries. This article provides a theoretical foundation for future research to analyze dynamics of ICT convergence by the IAD framework. For the future work, it is recommended that a study is to be empirically analyzed the dynamics of ICT convergence.

Botnets have become one of the most significant threats to Internet-connected smartphones. A botnet is a combination of infected devices communicating through a command server under the control of botmaster for malicious purposes. Nowadays, the number and variety of botnets attacks have increased drastically, especially on the Android platform. Severe network disruptions through massive coordinated attacks result in large financial and ethical losses. The increase in the number of botnet attacks brings the challenges for detection of harmful software. This study proposes a smart framework for mobile botnet detection using static analysis. This technique combines permissions, activities, broadcast receivers, background services, API and uses the machine-learning algorithm to detect mobile botnets applications. The prototype was implemented and used to validate the performance, accuracy, and scalability of the proposed framework by evaluating 3000 android applications. The obtained results show the proposed framework obtained 98.20% accuracy with a low 0.1140 false-positive rate.

Engineering system problems consist of multi-objective optimisation and the performance analysis is generally time consuming. To optimise the system concerning its performance, many researchers perform the optimisation using an approximation model. The Response Surface Method (RSM) is usually used to predict the system performance in many research fields, but it shows prediction errors for highly nonlinear problems. To create an appropriate metamodel for marine systems, Lee (2015) compares the prediction accuracy of the approximation model, and multi-objective optimal design framework is proposed based on a confirmed approximation model. The proposed framework is composed of three parts: definition of geometry, generation of approximation model, and optimisation. The major objective of this paper is to confirm the applicability/usability of the proposed optimal design framework and evaluate the prediction accuracy based on sensitivity analysis. We have evaluated the proposed framework applicability in derrick structure optimisation considering its structural performance.

Web mining techniques are often used to discover useful patterns from data log generated by Web servers for the purpose of web usage analysis. Yet traditional Web mining techniques do not reflect sufficiently sequential properties of Web log data. To address such weakness, we introduce a framework for analyzing Web access log data by using process mining techniques. To illustrate the proposed framework, we show the analysis of Web access log in a campus information system based on the framework and discuss the implication of the analysis result.

The flow of time, depending on the company's ongoing business link to guarantee the proportion of much greater importance, it in the organization as part of an enterprise-wide level, rather than acting on the information society has been considered as the topic of race. Information Security Governance, the integrity of the information, service continuity, the three kinds of information asset protection purpose begins. It is essential for corporate governance, transparency should be part, must be aligned with the IT framework. Existing information security governance framework that small businesses a wide range of governance issues and interests have never had. Therefore, we simplified the information security governance framework is proposed, and solve problems, and propose a framework for analysis of the safety and efficiency through the analysis of the effectiveness of the proposed method were discussed.

In this paper, a software framework that integrates computational and experimental simulation has been developed to simulate and test a large-scale structural system under earthquake loading. The proposed software framework does not need development of the computer codes for both dynamic and static simulations. Any general-purpose software can be utilized with a main control module and interface APIs. This opens up a new opportunity to facilitate use of sophisticated finite elements into hybrid simulation regime to enhance accuracy and efficiency of simulations. The software framework described in the paper is modular and uses object oriented programming concepts. A series of illustrative examples demonstrate that the system is fully-functional and is capable of running any number of experimental and/or analytical components.
