  • Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN) has become a kind of prevalent information systems to supplement or even substitute a traditional classroom face-to-face teaching method. In this paper, we investigate the impacts of types of courses, lecturers' instruction models and computer self-efficacy on the ALN effectiveness in teaching from lecturers' perspective. We conducted survey to professors in various faculties such as School of Computing, Faculty of Arts, Science, Business, Law and Engineering in the National University of Singapore. According to the responses from ninety-eight professors, instruction modes positively influence the usage of ALN; types of course and lecturers' computer-efficacy influence lectures' satisfaction of ALN in teaching. Both the usage of ALN and satisfaction of ALN positively influence the effectiveness of ALN. The results of this study fill the gap of ALN researches in education by examining it from lecturers' perspective and enable schools to improve their implementation of ALN systems based on our findings.

  • The objective of this study is to provide new direction on house design in consideration of the user's life pattern. To this end, pc usage status at home, demand for pc using space, and requirements for pc room interior were analyzed. A survey was taken by parents and the SPSS win.10 was applied for analysis. The survey was conducted for 2 months, starting May 2004 to see the computer usage at home, demand and satisfaction for the computer's room. The results of this study were as follows; The oldest son or daughter in a family was the main user of the computer, posting 71%. 42percent of respondents said they used the pc in their son's and daughter's room while 36% answered living room. It reflects that the whole family want to use the pc in their sharing room, or for their children's convenience. Currently, inconvenience of space-related constraints for using the pc was not that high, which possibly stems from a lack of awareness of inconvenience in using the pc. However, the need for furniture and space for refreshment was suggested. Through this study, it is expected that new housing designs need to be made to reflect these requirements into interior design and building plan for user's convenience.

  • Nowadays, most big hospitals have a computer system to manage their administration. For maxi mum effectiveness in managing the computer system, an analysis of the variables affecting its implementation is necessary from the beginning. This study was done to analyze the variables influencing the operation of a hospital information system (HIS). The theoretical base for this study considered the combined effects of user expectations of computerization, and computer-anxiety. The relationship between variables in the theoretical base were analyzed and the individual characteristics influencing each variable were also analyzed. This study was done in two steps. First, 344 nurses were given an initial questionnaire developed to evaluate the reliability of the items. Based on the results, a second revised questionnaire was administered to 88 nurses who had been working in the areas where HIS was applied. The results of the first and second steps of the study are as follows 1. The initial study was done with nurses who were trained on the computer system briefly before HIS was implemented. The individual characteristics influencing computer anxiety and expectation regarding computer system usage in that initial study included, length of career, type of degree or certification, previous experiences with a computer, training on a computer, desire for computer training, and level of acceptance of a computerized work environment. But in the second study with nurses working in areas of the hospital where HIS was introduced, the work site was the only influencing characteristics. There-fore, in applying a computer system, overcoming work-environment barriers will be more import-ant than any individual characteristics. 2. The computer anxiety of the nurses in both groups, before and after the computer system ap-plication, was below the average level but the expectation of the effects of computerization was above average. The nurses using the computer program showed an above average level of satis-faction with the computer system itself, and with its effect on their efficiency. Therefore, the ability of nurses operating HIS will be positively. predictive. 3. For the variables included in the theoretical framework of the study, all of the correlational coefficients were statistically significant in the analysis of variation correlation. Therefore, the theoretical base of the study, "expectation in con junction with computer anxiety" can be considered an model which can be evaluated. Accord-ing to our analysis, the higher the level of nurses' motivation to use the computer system and the lower the anxiety about computer usage, the higher the possibility of computer system acceptance by nurses. The results of this study showed that in applying a computer system in the hospital, the main characteristic influencing acceptance was where the individual worked rather than personal characteristics such as length of career, type of degree or certification, and previous experiences with a computer. Therefore, it is suggested that the first step in uncovering and eliminating hindrance factors in ap-plication of a computer system should be an analysis of working conditions in relation to the functional content of the computer system. The suitability of the theoretical model based on the hypothesis ap-plied in this study should be further tested.

  • Convolutional Neural networks (CNNs) are a category of deep learning networks that have proven very effective in computer vision tasks such as image classification. Notwithstanding, not much has been seen in its use for remote sensing image classification in developing countries. This is majorly due to the scarcity of training data. Recently, transfer learning technique has successfully been used to develop state-of-the art models for remote sensing (RS) image classification tasks using training and testing data from well-known RS data repositories. However, the ability of such model to classify RS test data from a different dataset has not been sufficiently investigated. In this paper, we propose a deep CNN model that can classify RS test data from a dataset different from the training dataset. To achieve our objective, we first, re-trained a ResNet-50 model using EuroSAT, a large-scale RS dataset to develop a base model then we integrated Augmentation and Ensemble learning to improve its generalization ability. We further experimented on the ability of this model to classify a novel dataset (Nig_Images). The final classification results shows that our model achieves a 96% and 80% accuracy on EuroSAT and Nig_Images test data respectively. Adequate knowledge and usage of this framework is expected to encourage research and the usage of deep CNNs for land cover mapping in cases of lack of training data as obtainable in developing countries.

  • Computer-aided engineering (CAE) is the broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering tasks. It includes computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided analysis (CAA), computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), material requirements planning (MRP), and computer-aided planning (CAP). In this study, the stress of mold analyzed using CAE technique. Punch loads were same difference between 0.5 % and 1.0 % of clearance, but punch load was decreased according to increasing of clearance. Punch load of pre-piercing process worked a little smaller than piercing process. Therefore, the hole of fine blanking process is also more efficient to manufacture the true size after pre-piercing.

  • 본 논문에서는 클라우드 컴퓨팅 기반의 N-스크린 서비스를 위한 실시간 동영상 트랜스 코딩 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 동영상을 분할하여 하나의 인트로 블록과 재생 블록을 생성한다. 그리고 최초 서비스 요청이 오면 인트로 블록을 전송한 후 재생 블록들을 실시간으로 트랜스 코딩하여 전송한다. 이때 각 블록의 재생시간 내에 트랜스 코딩을 완료하기 위해 각 노드의 성능에 따라 재생 블록을 분할하여 할당한다. 또한, 기존 동영상 재생 기법은 실시간 재생 서비스를 위해 모든 포맷과 화질로 동영상을 변환하였다. 하지만 본 논문에서 제안한 기법은 클라이언트의 디바이스와 플랫폼에 적합한 화질의 포맷으로 동영상을 변환함으로써 기존 동영상 재생 기법에 비해 스토리지 사용량을 줄인다. 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션을 통하여 제안한 동영상 재생 기법이 기존의 기법에 비해 N-스크린 서비스를 위한 실시간 동영상 재생에 효과적임을 보인다. 또한, 제안한 동영상 트랜스 코딩 기법이 기존 방법에 비해 스토리지 사용량이 적음을 보인다.

  • 스마트TV의 보급이 확대되면서 스마트TV의 여유연산능력을 활용한 그리드 컴퓨팅시스템에 대한 수요가 증가할 것으로 예측하고 있다. 그러나 스마트TV는 PC와 달리 다양한 플랫폼이 존재하고, 또한 사용자들의 스마트 TV사용 패턴이 기존 PC 사용 패턴과 크게 다르기 때문에 PC기반의 그리드 시스템을 적용하기에는 어려움이 있다. 즉, 유휴 상태에서 동작하던 기존 그리드 에이전트가 스마트TV 환경에서는 동작할 기회를 보장 받을 수 없는 상황이 된 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위하여 스마트TV에 적합한 자바스크립트 기반의 그리드 시스템 및 콘텐츠 시청 중에 남는 CPU자원을 활용하는 에이전트 스케줄링 정책을 제안하고 구현하였다. 그리고 기존 그리드 방식과 제안하는 방식을 비교 실험하여, 그 결과 기존의 그리드가 0.09%, 제안하는 방식은 평균 1.78%의 자원을 제공함을 보였다.
