During disaster response, prioritization of limited resources is one of the most important but challenging tasks. At the same time, it is imperative to timely provide to the rescuers with the adequate heavy equipment to facilitate lifesaving operations. However, supply of high demand equipment is usually insufficient during the initial phase of disaster response, challenging lifesaving operations. At the same time, resources outside of the disaster affected zone converge into the area to assist the response efforts, which is the effect of convergence that often made resource coordination challenging in large scale disasters. Meanwhile, the initial condition of the disaster is usually best known by civilians already at the area before and during impact of the disaster. The knowledge of the civilians is not always received and considered by the responding organizations. With the help of these civilians, critical information such as victim location, infrastructure damage, and risk condition could be better know before any response actions are taken. To efficiently collect information and utilize the converging resources, this paper proposes a geospatial information repository for initial condition reporting and update to guide search and rescue operations and deployment of equipment with safety considerations for the rescuers in large scale disaster response scenarios.

Under amazing increase in markets and certain demand on qualified service in the delivery system, global logistic optimization is becoming a keen interest to provide an essential infrastructure coping with modern competitive prospects. As a key technology for such deployment, we have been engaged in the practical studies on vehicle routing problem (VRP) in terms of Weber model, and developed a hybrid approach of meta-heuristic methods and the graph algorithm of minimum cost flow problem. This paper extends such idea to multi-depot VRP so that we can give a more general framework available for various real world applications including those in green or low carbon logistics. We show the developed procedure can handle various types of problem, i.e., delivery, direct pickup, and drop by pickup problems in a common framework. Numerical experiments have been carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. Moreover, to enhance usability of the method, Google Maps API is applied to retrieve real distance data and visualize the numerical result on the map.

Currently Energy-Saving (ES) methods in cellular networks could be improved, as compensation method for irregular Base Station (BS) deployment is not effective, most regional ES algorithm is complex, and performance decline caused by ES action is not evaluated well. To resolve above issues, a low-complexity energy efficient BS cooperation mechanism for Long Time Evolution (LTE) networks is proposed. The mechanism firstly models the ES optimization problem with coverage, resource, power and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. To resolve the problem with low complexity, it is decomposed into two sub-problems: BS Mode Determination (BMD) problem and User Association Optimization (UAO) problem. To resolve BMD, regional dynamic multi-stage algorithms with BS cooperation pair taking account of load and geographic topology is analyzed. And then a distributed heuristic algorithm guaranteeing user QoS is adopted to resolve UAO. The mechanism is simulated under four LTE scenarios. Comparing to other algorithms, results show that the mechanism can obtain better energy efficiency with acceptable coverage, throughput, and QoS performance.

The verification of data integrity is an urgent topic in remote data storage environments with the wide deployment of cloud data storage services. Many traditional verification algorithms focus on the block-oriented verification to resolve the dispute of dynamic data integrity between the data owners and the storage service providers. However, these algorithms scarcely pay attention to the data verification charge and the users' verification experience. The users more concern about the availability of accessed files rather than data blocks. Moreover, the data verification charge limits the number of checked data in each verification. Therefore, we propose a mixed verification protocol to verify the data integrity, which rapidly locates the corrupted files by the file-oriented verification, and then identifies the corrupted blocks in these files by the block-oriented verification. Theoretical analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the protocol reduces the cost of the metadata computation and transmission relative to the traditional block-oriented verification at the expense of little cost of additional file-oriented metadata computation and storage at the data owner. Both the opportunity of data extracted and the scope of suspicious data are optimized to improve the verification efficiency under the same verification cost.

The unstructured and semi-structured big data in social network poses new challenges in query retrieval. This requirement needs to be met by introducing quality retrieval time measures like indexing. Due to the huge volume of data storage, there originate the need for efficient index algorithms to promote query processing. However, conventional algorithms fail to index the huge amount of frequently obtained information in real time and fall short of providing scalable indexing service. In this paper, a new LIndex algorithm, which is a heuristic on Lucene is built on Neo4jHA architecture that holds the social network Big data. LIndex is a flexible and simplified adaptive indexing scheme that ascendancy decomposed shortest paths around term neighbors as basic indexing unit. This newfangled index proves to be effectual in query space pruning of graph database Neo4j, scalable in index construction and deployment. A graph query is processed and optimized beyond the traditional Lucene in a time-based manner to a more efficient path method in LIndex. This advanced algorithm significantly reduces query fetch without compromising the quality of results in time. The experiments are conducted to confirm the efficiency of the proposed query retrieval in Neo4j graph NoSQL database.

최근 사물인터넷이 빠른 속도로 발전할 것으로 예측됨에 따라서, 서비스들은 사용자들에게 제공되기 위해서 작은 디바이스부터 거대한 디바이스들간의 임베디드 디바이스의 발전과 센서 허브와 같은 보조 프로세서의 발전을 통해, 서로 연결되고 있으며, 사용자들을 위해 지금보다 더 정확하고 신뢰할 수 있는 맞춤형 사물인터넷 서비스를 제공하기 위한 개발의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 효과적인 서비스 구축을 위한 기법들로 하위 디바이스 계층의 수준과 상위 어플리케이션 계층의 수준을 서로 구분 지을 수 있도록 서비스 지향형 컴퓨팅 방식을 사용하는 여러 계층 구성의 계층적 추상화 접근 방법이 소개되고 있지만, 사용자들에게 더 정확하고 신뢰할 수 있는 서비스를 구축하는 것은 여전히 다양한 이슈가 존재한다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 객체의 단방향 그래프 구성 기법을 적용하여, 효과적이고 신뢰할 수 있는 사물인터넷 서비스 구성을 위하여 서비스 오브젝트를 단방향 그래프 자료구조로 구성한 새로운 형태의 IoT 미들웨어 구조를 제안한다. 또한, 새로 제안된 미들웨어 구조상에서의 사용자의 사용 시나리오 및 시스템 성능상의 이점을 분산 시뮬레이션을 통하여 증명한다.

유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시대로 진입하면서 사물의 위치 정보를 기반으로 다양한 응용이 개발되고 있다. 무선 센서 네트워크는 저전력, 저가, 배치의 용이성 등이 주된 특징으로서 실내 위치 인식 시스템에 적합하다. 크리켓과 같은 실내 위치 인식 시스템에서는 노드간의 거리를 인식하기 위해서 초음파 신호와, 라디오 신호를 주기적으로 전송한다. 하지만 배치되는 센서 노드의 수가 증가할수록 신호간의 간섭 및 충돌 횟수가 증가하여 위치 인식 시스템의 정확도가 저하된다. 본 논문에서는 On-demand 비콘 관리 기법을 제안하여 리스너와 물리적으로 근접한 비콘 노드가 비콘 신호를 전송하여 간섭 및 충돌 현상을 최소화 시키고, 초음파 신호의 특성으로 인한 오차율을 감소시키는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

최근 센서 네트워크의 구축이 증가하면서 대규모의 센서 데이터를 효율적으로 관리하는 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 기존의 연구는 단일 서버 또는 그리드로 구축된 다수의 서버에 분산 데이터베이스 시스템을 이용하여 센서 데이터를 관리하므로 시스템 확장이 용이하지 않으며 시스템 구축 및 관리 비용이 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 저비용, 높은 확장성과 효율성을 지닌 클라우드 기반의 센서 데이터 관리 시스템을 제안한다. 제안된 시스템은 REST 기반의 웹서비스를 통해 제공되므로 다양한 응용프로그램과 연동이 가능하다.

Objectives: Radiologists are the service worker with emotional labor who works within a relatively small space of the hospital, dealing with multiple patients. The purposes of this study were to search the turnover intention and job satisfaction through the work of emotional labor of radiologists. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted on 109 radiologists working at university hospitals, general hospitals, clinics and other facilities across the domestic. The regions were aggregated according to Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method, which was applied in proportion to the population distribution. A questionnaire was composed of 26 questions which were used in Korean Emotional Laboratory Scale (K-ELS). Results: The overall emotional labor score was $48.3{\pm}15.8$. The most pressing requirement of radiologists to improve emotional labor was the topic about the exchange of colleagues ($75.8{\pm}15.6$ score, ${\beta}=0.78$, p<0.001). Conclusions: In order to resolve the emotional labor of radiologists, it could be necessary to have a meeting through training and workshops where the exchange of colleagues can take place.
