This paper examines the Spaghetti bowl effect that different tariffs and rules of origin in multiple FTAs have resulted in increasing the significantly additional burden for business when it comes to apply for the use of FTA preference. The wide spread of FTAs in the several years, from 2003 to 2010, has been the most important trade policy development in economically important Korea. Korea presently has 5 FTAs in effect, and made 3 additional agreements which will be expected to take effect in next year. With the study result and expecting a growing number of FTAs in Korea in a next decade, the international trading firms will face rise of transaction costs for enterprises, particularly small- and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) to cope with multiple tariffs and rule of origins in FTAs. To help mitigate negative effects and facilitate a more SEMs to use the FTA preference, providing new computer programs system, increasing the awareness of FTA provisions, improving business participation in FTA consultations, and SME support in light of education, and financial support are needed.

Future sub-meter resolution LEO missions require simultaneous dual-polarization downlink and/or multiple channel downlinks in single polarization. Especially, dual-polarization is needed to cope with bandwidth limitation due to high speed data transmission. Current KARI 13m X-Band antenna system needs to be upgraded to cope with such downlink schemes. This paper describes brief discussions on engineering work regarding how to meet the new requirements with minimum impact on current system as well as C&M (Control and Monitoring) software.

Detection of grinding trouble occuring during the grinding process is classified into two types, i.e, based on the quantitative and qualitative knowledge. But, since the grinding operation is especially related with a large amount of functional parameters, it is actually defficult to cope with the grinding troubles occuring during process. Therefore, grinding trouble-shooting has difficulty in satisfying the requirement from the user. To cope with the grinding troubles occuring during the process, the application of neural network is on effective way. In this study, we identify the four parameters derived from the AE(Acoustic Emission) signals and present the grinding trouble-shooting system utilizing a back-propagation model of the neural network.

Fuzzy logic controllers have been shown better performance than conventional ones especially in highly nonlinear plants. These results are caused by the nonlinear fuzzy rules were not sufficient to cope with significant uncertainty of the plants and environment. Moreover, it is hard to make fuzzy rules consistent and complete. In this paper, we employed a predictive neural network to enhance the nonlinear inference capability. The predictive neural network generates predictive outputs of a controlled plant using the current and past outputs and current inputs. These predictive outputs are used in terms of fuzzy rules in fuzzy inferencing. From experiments, we found that the predictive term of fuzzy rules enhanced the inference capability of the controller. This predictive neural network can also help the controller cope with uncertainty of plants or environment by on-line learning.

This paper is concerned with the experiment of vibration isolation device whit can cope with heave, pitch and roll type vibrations. This new device consists of S-shaped piezoceramic actuators supporting each corner of the plate. Small piezoceramic sensors are located at the middle of each side. This paper also presents the development and the movement of the system. The active control technique was also developed to cope with base excitation. Experimental results show that vibrations can be reduced by the new device in the case of base excitation of harmonic type.

Advanced nuclear power plants are generally large complex systems automated by computers. Whenever a rare plant emergency occurs the plant operators must cope with the emergency under severe mental stress without committing any fatal errors. Furthermore, The operators must train to improve and maintain their ability to cope with every conceivable situation, though it is almost impossible to be fully prepared for an infinite variety of situations. In view of the limited capability of operators in emergency situations, there has been a new approach to preventing the human error caused by improper human-machine interaction. The new approach has been triggered by the introduction of advanced information systems that help operators recognize and counteract plant emergencies. In this paper, the adverse effect of automation in human-machine systems is explained. The discussion then focuses on how to configure a joint human-machine system for ideal human-machine interaction. Finally, there is a new proposal on how to organize technologies that recognize the different states of such a joint human-machine system.

According to the result of this study, China and Japan, the competing countries of Korea are progressing their policy to develop port more intensively than ever. To cope with this situation, it is required for Korean port to prepare systematic and strategic measure as follows. First, the cooperation strategy is necessary to operate domestic port. Second, it is required to set strategy to construct infrastructure for physical distribution in the port. Third, it is necessary to consider inducing transshipment cargo and development of strategy for connected transportation network. Fourth, the system of international physical distribution centering around complex behind ports shall be constructed.

Deployment of green transportation in reverse logistics is a key issue for low carbon technologies. To cope with such logistic innovation, this paper proposes a hybrid approach to solve practical vehicle routing problem (VRP) of pickup type that is common when considering the reverse logistics. Noticing that transportation cost depends not only on distance traveled but also on weight loaded, we propose a hierarchical procedure that can design an economically efficient reverse logistics network even when the scale of the problem becomes very large. Since environmental concerns are of growing importance in the reverse logistics field, we need to reveal some prospects that can reduce $CO_2$ emissions from the economically optimized VRP in the same framework. In order to cope with manifold circumstances, the above idea has been deployed by extending the Weber model to the generalized Weber model and to the case with an intermediate destination. Numerical experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and to explore the prospects for future green reverse logistics.

In order to cope with the changes of container terminal situation in these days, many simulation studies for container terminal have been accomplished. But established simulation studies using simulation language have restrictions in model representation and difficulties in modeling of large scaled container terminal system. To make these problems better, in this paper addresses object-oriented simulation of container terminal system using a DEVS formalism. In a step of system modeling, using a DEVS formalism aim at the exact system modeling that has a basis of semantics and utilizing the object-oriented manner can flexibly cope with the changes of system environment. In this study a model was developed and verified through the simulation of some alternatives.

While new information technology advances have made information access and acquisition methods much more diverse and easier, there are side effects that allow illegal access using diverse and high-performance tools. In order to cope with such threats, there are access control methods in database technology, and various studies are being conducted to extend traditional access control to cope with new computing environments. In this paper, we propose an extended access control with uncertain context-awareness. It enables appropriate security policy enforcement even if the contextual constraints specified by the security policy does not match those accompanied by access request query. We extract semantic implications from context tree, and define the argument that can quantitatively measure the semantic difference between two nodes in the context tree. It is used to semantically enforce the security policy, and to prevent the excessive authorization caused by the implication.
