With the new millennium setting in, our society is plowing its way through more drastically changing currents than ever. Nowadays, many people believe that high tech such as the Internet, digital civilization, the IT revolution, bio-industry, and the genome project, that has brought humans material prosperity, is the right change in direction. However, the more we adopt high tech into our lives, the more we desire high touch in order to achieve a balance. In other words, we need something to act as a ballast to stabilize our minds. As such, the more high tech develops, the more individuals miss and search for tools that appeal to their emotions. Because of this, although high touch is an opposite concept to high tech, it coexists with high tech, and it is defined as "human contact of high sensitivity that stimulates the emotion of humans". High Touch, a term which originated from "High Tech, High Touch", a book written by American futurist John Naisbitt, refers to human contact that makes human life richer, forminga deep impression on individuals and providing comfort. As such, high touch, which is gaining significant attention in modern society, is a phenomenon occurring throughout politics, society, culture, art, and religion, together with high tech. Through high touch, modern people must realize how to understand and accept a modern society that is dominated by the age of technology and in which direction they should head. Under this background, this study has the following objectives: to interpret the concept of high touch in the age of high tech in association with formative art and fashion, and through various media examine the desire for expression that may stimulate emotion in modern people, which is required by the high tech-prevalent modern society. It further analyzes how high touch is reflected in modern fashion and presents the direction future fashion should head in.

다양한 디지털 가전제품을 제조하는 회사들은 초기에 제품 하나하나에 제품의 사용경험을 담는데 비중을 높여 개발을 하였다. 하지만 제품이 알려지고 종류가 많아지면서 각 제품들을 아우르는 사용자 경험요소 통합화가 필요하게 되었다. 이에 다양한 화면 사이즈와 Input Device를 가진 Handheld Device들 간의 일관된 사용 경험(user experiences)을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하는 연구가 진행되었다. 대상이 된 제품들은 Digital Media Broadcasting의 수신, Multimedia 파일이 재생, 파일 creation 등이 가능한 Handheld Devices였고, 각 제품들은 특정 기능에 충실한 UI를 구현하고 있다는 특징이 있다. 따라서, 기존 제품의 사용성을 저해하지 않는 수준의 표준화가 필요하며 기존 UI 사용성과 표준화 UI 사용성 간의 조화가 중요 하였다. 기존 제품의 개별 특징을 분석하고 Handheld Device의 사용자 요구사항을 조사를 통해 사용경험 요소를 발굴하고 Navigation, Menu Hierarchy, Screen Layout 등의 설계를 통해 Prototype 개발을 하고 Usability Test를 통해 보완을 하였다. Usability Test는 한국, 미국, 영국, 중국 4개국에서 광범위한 사용자 조사가 이루어졌다. 국가 선정은 제품의 주요 시장 및 각 대륙을 대표하는 기준으로 선정되었다. 사용자 그룹은 연령, 지식 수준, 성별에 구분되었고 Web Survey 1000명, Usability Test는 각 국가별 총 100명이 넘는 참석자에 의한 데이터 분석이 이루어 졌다. 이렇게 조사된 데이터를 바탕으로 UI 사용경험 요소를 정의하고 제품의 공통 가이드와 개별 가이드를 개발하는 일련의 프로세스를 확립하고 검증하였다. 본 논문을 통해 대상 제품들의 다양한 특성을 살리면서도 user Interface의 일관성 원칙을 설립하기 위해 시도했던 방법과 과정을 기술하고, 이 과정을 통해서 얻은 결과와 실제적인 경험을 소개한다.

Single frequency network (SFN) design based on the Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) specification, a terrestrial digital television (DTV) system, normally causes a interference problem, among signals from multiple transmitters or repeaters. To solve this, the ATSC recommended practice (RP) introduces a transmitter identification (TxID) signal embedded in a signal from each transmitter or repeater. A TxID signal analyzer is then used to detect the TxID signal, and following the analysis results, a SFN design can be adjusted. This paper discusses the generation and usages of Kasami sequence, is used the TxID signal. The configuration of the TxID signal analyzer to efficiently detect TxID signal is proposed and the results of theoretical performance analysis are provided. Moreover, computer simulation and laboratory test results are provided to evaluate the performance of TxID signal analyzer and the theoretical performance analysis.

To construct seamless collaborative environments, what all participants intent should be delivered, and visual elements such gesture, facial expression, and ambiance should be shared with all participants. In this paper, we propose high-quality video service to support DV(digital video) and HDV(high-definition DV) based on Access Grid(AG) which is a prevalent collaborative system. The proposed service is designed for employing versatile media tools and codecs with SDP(session description protocol) and SAP(session announcement protocol). We also design network-adaptive video transmission module to mitigate the impact of network fluctuation. This periodically monitors multicast performance and controls frame rate on sender side considering network condition. The experimental results over the test bed show that proposed service enhances quality of AG video service and provides seamless high-quality video transport by mitigating the impact of network fluctuation.

DMB video/audio service was successfully launched. DMB data service is a matter of primary concern now. The TTI(Traffic and Travel Information) service is considered as a killer application of the data service. Tn this paper, we propose a method for design and implementation of the broadcasting system for TTI service. The proposed TTI service system consists of an authoring tool, the DB module, the Transmission module and Monitoring module. This system satisfies the national TTA standards of the Traffic and Travel Information data services for terrestrial DMB; TPEG(Transport Protocol Experts Group) platform. The system was designed to support real-time automatic transmission for CTT and CTT SUM, and non real-time authoring & automatic transmission for POI and SDI, and was focused on the capability to make high-quality contents efficiently and to send them to the data inserter reliably. The performance of the implemented system was proven through the conformance tests with the various commercial receivers. After the continuous upgrade, the system is being used in commercial service.

In this paper, we have illuminated the radiation modes of rectangular planar antennas to interpret the nature of the wideband characteristic upon which formulas for bandwidth prediction are presented. Rectangular planar antennas are being investigated by many researchers in virtue of relatively simple design and fabrication procedures to replace the cylindrical monopoles. But the design principle for rectangular planar antennas is still based on that of cylindrical monopoles, and the nature of the wideband characteristic and the formula to estimate the upper band frequency are not analyzed yet. In this research, we have shown the patterns of the radiation modes explaining the wideband characteristic and also proposed the upper band frequency with minor modification for the lower band frequency formula based on mode formation principles. Finally we have confirmed the validity of our results, within 10 % accuracy, by the application to some published results.

TIn this paper, we propose a model automatically scoring a student's answer for a descriptive problem by using a voting method. Considering the model construction cost, the proposed model does not separately construct the automatic scoring model per problem type. In order to utilize features useful for automatically scoring the descriptive answers, the proposed model extracts feature values from the results, generated by comparing the student's answer with the answer sheet. For the purpose of improving the precision of the scoring result, the proposed model collects the scoring results classified by a few machine learning based classifiers, and unanimously selects the scoring result as the final result. Experimental results show that the single machine learning based classifier C4.5 takes 83.00% on precision while the proposed model improve the precision up to 90.57% by using three machine learning based classifiers C4.5, ME, and SVM.
