The objective of this study was to see how artificial intelligence applications affected organizational innovation in Jordanian commercial banks. Both independent and dependent variables were measured in three dimensions: expert systems, neural network systems, and fuzzy logic systems for artificial intelligence applications variable. Product innovation, process innovation, and management innovation for the organizational innovation variable. To achieve study objectives, a questionnaire was developed and distributed to a sample of one hundred fifty-three managers in Jordanian commercial banks, who were selected according to the simple random sampling method. Except for the neural network systems dimension, which comes in at an average level, the study indicated that there is a high level of organizational innovation and artificial intelligence applications. Furthermore, the findings revealed that artificial intelligence applications have a significant impact on organizational innovation in Jordanian commercial banks, with the most important artificial intelligence application being a fuzzy logic system. The study suggested keeping track of technological advancements in the field of artificial intelligence applications and incorporating them into banking operations by benchmarking with the best commercial bank practices and allocating a portion of the budget to technological applications and infrastructure development, as well as balancing between technology use and information security risks to ensure client privacy is protected.

In distributed file-systems, cooperative caching algorithm which owns the data cached at each node jointly is used to reduce an expense of disk access. Cooperative caching algorithm is the method that increases a cache hit-ratio and decrease a disk access as it holds the cache information of distributed systems in common and makes cache larger virtually. Recently, several cooperative caching algorithms decrease the message costs by using approximate information of the cache and increase the cache hit-ratio by using local and global cache fields dynamically. And they have an advantage that increases the whole field hit-ratio by sending a replaced block to the idel node on cache replacement in order to maintain the replaced block in the cache field. However the wrong approximate information deteriorates the performance, the concistency maintenance goes to great expense to exchange messeges and the cost that manages Age-information of each node to choose the idle node increases. In this thesis, we propose a cooperative cache algorithm that maintains correct cache information, minimizes the maintance cost for consistency and the management cost for cache Age-information. Also, we show the superiority of our algorithm through the performance evaluation.

In this paper, the concept of coordination under the setting of cooperative multiagent systems is examined. Based on the concept, a computational model in which the key constructs of coordination can be precisely defined is developed. This model can serve as a basis for developing software systems designed to support coordination in Eletronic Commerce. Coordination is viewed as management of conflicting demands on finite resources by actors or acitivities. The model views coordination as a cycle of four phases: the definition phase, the conflict resolution phase, the action phase, and the adaptation phase. Then, a formal model of coordination, both as a phenomenon and as a process is devloped. Within the context of this model, important concepts such as decomposability, informational privacy, informational decentralization, and informational efficiency are examined.

Virtual power plants can be regarded as systems that have entered the network after restructure of power systems. In fact, these plants are a set of consumers capable of consuming and generating power. In response to widespread implementation of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, further investigation of energy management in this type of power plants seems to be of great value. In effect, these vehicles are able to receive and inject power from/into the network. Hence, study of the effects of these vehicles on management of virtual power plants seems to be illuminative. In this paper, management of power consumption/generation in virtual power plants has been investigated in the presence of hybrid electric vehicles. The objective function of virtual power plants problem management is to minimize the overall costs including not only the costs of energy production in power generation units, fuels, and degradation of batteries of vehicles, but also the costs of purchasing electricity from the network. Furthermore, the constraints on the operational of plants, loads and hybrid vehicles, level of penalty for greenhouse gas emissions ($CO_2$ and $NO_x$) produced by power plants and vehicles, and demand response to the immediate price of market have all been attended to in the present study. GAMS/Cplex software system and sample power system have been employed to pursue computer implementation and simulation.

To effectively implement the integrated water management policy outlined in the National Water Management Act, it is essential to analyze agricultural water supply and demand at both basin and water district levels. Currently, agricultural water is primarily distributed through open canal systems and controlled by floodgates, yet the utilization-to-supply ratio remains at a mere 48%. In the case of agricultural water, when analyzing water balance through existing national basin water resource models (K-WEAP, K-MODISM), distortion of supply and regression occurs due to calculation of regression rate based on the concept of net water consumption. In addition, by simplifying the complex and diverse agricultural water supply system within the basin into a single virtual reservoir, it is difficult to analyze the surplus or shortage of agricultural water for each field within the basin. There are limitations in reflecting the characteristics and actual sites of rural water areas, such as inconsistencies with river and reservoir supply priority sites. This study focuses on the development of a model aimed at improving the deficiencies of current water balance analysis methods. The developed model aims to provide standardized water balance analysis nationwide, with initial application to the Anseo standard watershed. Utilizing data from 32 facilities within the standard watershed, the study conducted water balance analysis through watershed linkage, highlighting differences and improvements compared to existing methods.

This paper focuses on the reduction method of message traffic occurred when multiple participants collaborate in the distributed virtual environment. It is referred to as filtering method of update message to minimize data traffic exchanged in the virtual environment, and it is the essential process to improve the scalability of the virtual environment. Spatial partitioning method, a popular filtering technique, divides the whole environment into smaller sub-parts in order to make it small the regions to be maintained consistently. However, it is less flexible and adaptable because the information of area of interest must be configured before simulation. In this paper, the concept of dynamic area of interest is proposed, which is highly adaptable by applying dynamic environmental elements to AOI management. It uses multiple layering and multiple consistency algorithms for dynamic management, and makes it possible to consume system resource efficiently. For performance evaluation, experiments are performed with virtual avatars, measuring message traffic. Finally, the proposed model could be applied to the AOI management systems which accommodate massive users like MMORPG, or virtual communities.

최근 다양한 멀티미디어 서비스를 지원하기 위한 통신망 관리와 서비스 관리가 통합된 개방형 정보 통신망의 구조가 요구되고 있다. 이러한 구조를 기반으로, TINA-C(Tele-communications Information Networking Architecture-Consortium)에서는 분산 환경에서 분산 어플리케이션 객체들에 대한 복잡한 서비스 및 관리 인터페이스들을 간결하도록 객체그룹의 개념을 정의하고 있다. 이러한 환경 속에서 트레이딩 서비스는 통신 서비스를 제공하는 객체그룹간의 상호작용을 지원하는데 매우 중요하다.따라서, 본 논문에서는 객체그룹간의 상호접속을 지원할 수 있는 트레이딩 기능과 이들 트레이더들간의 연동을 위한 트레이더 연합 모델을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 우리는 트레이더의 중개자로서 Cooperator를 설계하여 기존의 트레이더와 연동시켰다. 이러한 결과로서 우리의 새로운 트레이더 연합 모델에서 Cooperator는 객체그룹간의 상호접속에서 객체들의 접속 권한의 체크 기능과 기존의 트레이더 연합모델의 문제점인 트레이더들간의 단 방향 연결문제를 보완하여 양방향 연결 기능을 갖도록 하였다. 끝으로, 이러한 해결 과정을 보이기 위해 트레이더와 Cooperator들로 이루어진 본 연합모델에서 분산 객체그룹간의 상호접속 절차과정과 사건 추적 다이어그램을 보였다.Abstract Recently, the open networking architecture is required to support various multimedia services as integrated functions of network management and service management. Based on this architecture, TINA-C defines an object group concept for simplifying complex management and service interfaces, when distributed application is executed in distributed environments. Within the support environment the trading service is an important of the interacting object groups which provide a telecommunication service.Hence, we suggest the trader federation model for supporting interconnections between object groups and among existing traders by using the cooperator we designed, as an intermediator among traders. Our cooperator has functions for checking access rights of objects in object groups, and for providing bidirectional linkage among traders. Up to now, the existing trader federation models have a single directional linkage for interactions among traders. Finally, we showed the interface procedure and the event trace diagram of distributed object groups using our model consisted of traders and the cooperators.

Several fields of science have traditionally demanded large-scale workflow support, which requires thousands of central processing unit (CPU) cores. In order to support such large-scale scientific workflows, large-capacity cluster systems such as supercomputers are widely used. However, as users require a diversity of software packages and configurations, a system administrator has some trouble in making a service environment in real time. In this paper, we present a container-based cluster management platform and introduce an implementation case to minimize performance reduction and dynamically provide a distributed computing environment desired by users. This paper offers the following contributions. First, a container-based virtualization technology is assimilated with a resource and job management system to expand applicability to support large-scale scientific workflows. Second, an implementation case in which docker and HTCondor are interlocked is introduced. Lastly, docker and native performance comparison results using two widely known benchmark tools and Monte-Carlo simulation implemented using various programming languages are presented.

Information-security management systems (ISMSs) are becoming very important, even for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, implementing an ISMS is not an easy task. Many obstacles must be overcome, e.g., complexity, document tracking, competency management, and even changing cultures. The objective of our study is to provide ISMS application tools, based on ISO 27001:2013 ISM frameworks. The application was developed on the Odoo Open Enterprise Resource Planning platform. To validate its feasibility for future improvement, the application was implemented by an MSME company. For this implementation, information-security-related users gave their feedback through a questionnaire. The distributed feedback questionnaire consists of nine assessment parameters, covering topics from the application's technical aspects to users' experiences. Based on the questionnaire feedback, all users of the application were satisfied with its performance.
