This study is concerned with the educational program Visual Analysis Tool (VAT) for sound development for foreign intonation using personal computer. The VAT can run on IBM-PC 386 compatible or higher. It shows the spectrogram, waveform, intensity and the pitch contour. The system can work freely on either waveform zoom in-out or the documentation of measured value. In this paper, intensity and pitch contour information were used. Twelve French sentences were recorded from a French conversational tape. And three Korean participated in this study. They spoke out twelve sentences repeatly and trid to make the same pitch contour - by visually matching their pitcgh contour to the native speaker's. A sentences were recorded again when the participants themselves became familiar with intonation, intensity and pauses. The difference of pitch contour(rising or falling), pitch value, energy, total duration of sentences and the boundary of rhythmic group between native speaker's and theirs before and after training were compared. The results were as following: 1) In a declarative sentence: a native speaker's general pitch contour falls at the end of sentences. But the participant's pitch contours were flat before training. 2) In an interrogative: the native speaker made his pitch contours it rise at the end of sentences with the exception of wh-questions (qu'est-ce que) and a pitch value varied a greath. In the interrogative 'S + V' form sentences, we found the pitch contour rose higher in comparison to other sentences and it varied a great deal. 3) In an exclamatory sentence: the pitch contour looked like a shape of a mountain. But the participants could not make it fall before or after training.

Recently, the TS fuzzy models that include the linear equations in the consequent part are widely used for time series forecasting, and the prediction performance of them is somewhat dependent on the characteristics of time series such as stationariness. Thus, a new prediction method is suggested in this paper which is especially effective to nonstationary time series prediction. First, data preprocessing is introduced to extract the patterns and regularities of time series well, and then multiple model TS fuzzy predictors are constructed. Next, an appropriate model is chosen for each input data by an adaptive model selection mechanism based on rough sets, and the prediction is going. Finally, the error compensation procedure is added to improve the performance by decreasing the prediction error. Computer simulations are performed on typical cases to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. It may be very useful for the prediction of time series with uncertainty and/or nonstationariness because it handles and reflects better the characteristics of data.

Advances in computer technology enabled us to simulate the integrated effects of various geomorphic processes on landscape evolution. This review introduces a theoretical framework for 2-dimensional numerical landscape evolution models (NLEMs) which have recently been used for various research purposes. In particular much attention is paid to the approaches deployed to model major geomorphic processes on a geological time scale in previous research. NLEMs can simulate landscape evolution by numerically solving the partial differential equation which represents the relationship among the geomorphic system components (GSCs). Simple process specifications of the relationships among GSCs on a long-term time scale in terms of quantification and attempts to combine processes represent the initial research on NLEMs. Later researchers have taken these simple NLEMs and elaborated on them. Introducing the theories of NLEMs in this review is expected to help researchers trying to utilize or develop NLEMs.

Nowadays, a private protection act has come into effect which demands for the protection of personal image information obtained by the CCTV. According to this act, the object out of interest has to be mosaicked such that it can not be identified before the image is sent to the investigation office. Meanwhile, the demand for digital videos obtained by CCTV is also increasing for digital forensic. Therefore, due to the two conflicting demands, the demand for a solution which can automatically mask an object in the CCTV video is increasing and related IT industry is expected to grow. The core technology in developing a target masking solution is the object tracking technique. In this paper, we propose an object tracking technique which suits for the application of CCTV video object masking as a postprocess. The proposed method simultaneously uses the motion and the color information to produce a stable tracking result. Furthermore, the proposed method is based on the centroid shifting method, which is a fast color based tracking method, and thus the overall tracking becomes fast.

In the knowledge-based society, a nation's national power depends on IT industry. Also, literacy and application of IT technology can make a person live in comfortable circumstances. Currently, a few outstanding people lead entire IT industry and academy. In this sense, it is necessary to identify and nurture the gifted children in IT as early as we can. The purpose of this paper is to investigate gender difference of the gifted students in IT. Especially we are interested in their grade difference so that we select programming ability and logical thinking ability as academic performance evaluation. For this purpose, the gifted children in gifted science education center attached to a university at Seoul Metropolitan Area are selected. Their grades for 8 years were collected and analyzed. The analysis results show that there is no significant difference between male students and female students for programming ability and logical thinking ability. This also means that there is no academic difference between male and female students for the gifted children in IT.

This paper presents a new technique for generating an optimum synchronizable test sequence that can be applied in the distributed test architecture where both external synchronization and input/output operation costs are taken into consideration. The method defines a set of phases that constructs a tester-related digraph from a given finite state machine representation of a protocol specification such that a minimum cost tour of the digraph with intrinsically synchronizable transfer sequences can be used to generate an optimum synchronizable test sequence using synchronizable state identification sequences as the state recognition sequence for each state of the given finite state machine. This hybrid approach with a heuristic and optimization technique provides a simple and elegant solution to the synchronization problem that arises during the application of a predetermined test sequence in some protocol test architectures that utilize remote testers.

Recently, the rapid development and development of the industrial environment has changed the talent that companies need. As the educational paradigm changes, the university education should complement the problems of the lecture education method (the existing knowledge transfer method) in order to cultivate the talents needed for the corporation. In order to improve self - directed and creative problem - solving ability, new teaching and learning methods are needed. In this study, we apply flip learning in the algorithm class which is an essential curriculum of computer engineering. This group is divided into groups that are combined with theoretical and practical lessons, and groups that have applied theoretical lessons by applying flip learning, and groups that employ traditional lecture techniques. To improve learner's learning motivation and academic achievement, we propose a flip learning teaching method suitable for the algorithm subject and apply it directly to the class. Based on the results, we compare and analyze the academic achievement and learning satisfaction of learners.

In this paper, we design and implement the prototype system, and propose the Extended Faceted Classification. Scheme and the Hybrid Retrieval Method that support classifying the software components, storing in library, and efficient retrieval according to user's request. In order to designs the classification scheme, we identify several necessary items by analyzing basic classes of software components that are to be classified. Then, we classify the items by their characteristics, decide the facets, and compose the component descriptors. According to their basic characteristics, we store software components in the library by clustering their application domains and are assign weights to the facets and its items to describe the component characteristics. In order to retrieve the software components, we use the retrieval-by-query model, and the weights and similarity for easy retrieval of similar software components. As the result of applying proposed classification scheme and retrieval model, we can easily identify similar components and the process of classification become simple. Also, the construction of queries becomes simple, the control of the size and order of the components to be retrieved possible, and the retrieval effectiveness is improved.
