The performance measurement of construction firms is considered as a competitive advantage to develop and improve their performance to have place in the market and stay able to face the continuous challenge. Egyptian construction firms (ECF) started recently to adopt quality management system (QMS) as a way to develop and improve their performance as previous studies showed. However, measuring that performance to include all the firm's aspects in a competitive way is a crucial process for the ECF's culture. The research is trying to indicate the role of the QMS implementation in measuring performance (MP) through developing a model for measuring performance on the organization level, and explore its impact on the organization that adopt quality management system. This model is based on specific elements and their related indicators which have been derived from national approaches and models of measuring performance (benchmarking, quality awards and six sigma).Elements determination and the status of their real practice has been investigated through a questionnaire to a representative sample of ECF. This model determines the performance level (PL) of the organization that measured by a mean of a point system. Weights of the elements in the point system considered both the elements' importance in the international models and its real practice in the Egyptian construction firms. So, the final outcome of the model reveals the level of firm performance that helps the firm to identify the weak points against the strong ones, Confirm the priorities and identify new opportunities for developing, and Check the position of the company in the market among the others. Another questionnaire has been developed to be distributed on a group of Experts on measuring performance for the purpose of model validation. The majority of surveyed experts agreed that the proposed model can be applied effectively.

This paper aims to examine the main factors of the organizational climate and analyze their effects on job involvement. To accomplish these purposes, the nam factors of the organizational climate such as diversity, autonomy, redundancy, connectivity and flexibility were found from the previous studies. The questionaries of 350 were distributed to the employees working at the Gumi Industrial Complex. The questionaries of 298 were obtained and 267 were analyzed through frequencies, correlation and multiple regression. The results of this study are as followings; First, we conducted exploratory factor analysis for five constructs(diversity, autonomy, redundancy, connectivity and flexibility) using oblique rotation method that did not assume independence among the factors and main factors of knowledge management were grouped together by five factors. Second, it is shown that four main factors of organizational climate have a positive influence on the job involvement(p<0.05). This study, however, have limitations of number of sample and survey area. The future study should consider these limitations in improving model applicability in practice.

The transition of the central government system to the cloud-based infrastructure is being conducted as the National Information Resources Service (NIRS, Ministry of the Interior and Safety) attempts government resource integration. In the early days, it was attempted as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for cloud service for HW, but now it is being converted to Software as a Service (SaaS) for ordinary service. General tasks of the system are document creation for government service as well as public records management. To this end, government cloud systems were deployed to central government agencies from 2015 to 2018 and planned to be gradually deployed in 2018. Nowadays, records management is conducted with cloud RMS, the cloud RMS system is distributed to the central government from 2016 to 2018, and the dissemination to local government is scheduled to be carried out considering the adoption of On-Nara system.

Cloud computing is a distributed computing model that has lot of drawbacks and faces difficulties. Many new innovative and emerging techniques take advantage of its features. In this paper, we explore the security threats to and Risk Assessments for cloud computing, attack mitigation frameworks, and the risk-based dynamic access control for cloud computing. Common security threats to cloud computing have been explored and these threats are addressed through acceptable measures via governance and effective risk management using a tailored Security Risk Approach. Most existing Threat and Risk Assessment (TRA) schemes for cloud services use a converse thinking approach to develop theoretical solutions for minimizing the risk of security breaches at a minimal cost. In our study, we propose an improved Attack-Defense Tree mechanism designated as iADTree, for solving the TRA problem in cloud computing environments.

Everything in the world is becoming connected and interactive due to the Internet. The future of interactive smart environments such as smart cities, smart industries, or smart farms demand high network bandwidth, high network flexibility, and self-organization systems without costly hardware upgrades, and they provide a sustainable, scalable, and replicable smart environment backbone infrastructure. This paper presents a new Hybrid Software-Defined architecture for integrating Internet-of-Things technologies that are essential technologies for smart environments. It combines a software-defined networking infrastructure and a real-time distributed network framework with an advanced optimization to enable self-configuration, self-management, and self-adaption for providing seamless communication and efficiently managing a vast number of smart heterogeneous devices.

Recently, there is a rising interest in smart grid operating system which manages various types of distributed generation, smart meters, and electric vehicles with power grid. Considering the features of smart grid environment, the interoperability should be one of the important factors to build smart grid environment successfully. To secure interoperability, smart grid operating system should conform to some standards in terms of the data representation and communication. CIM and OPC-UA are the international standards widely used in smart grid domain for enabling interoperability. They provide common information model and the unified architecture for communicating between each systems or applications. In this paper, we illustrate a smart grid operating system that we have developed to secure interoperability between not only applications but also numerous legacy systems(applications) by implementing CIM based information model and OPC-UA based communication interface services.

퍼지 속성 공간(fuzzy property space)은 데이터베이스의 각 객체를 분류하고 분석하는데 유용한 도구로서 사용됨을 보였다[1]. 이는 수학적인 속성 집합 이론(property set theory)[2]에 근간을 두고 만들어진 이론으로, 데이터의 분석에 무척 유리한 도구로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 근래에 들어 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 분산 데이터베이스 환경(distributed database management)에서 이를 응용해보고자 시도하였다. 즉, 분산 환경에서 어떠한 객체의 데이터를 상호 교환하고자 하는 간단한 상호 작용(object interoperability)을 수행함에 있어, 각 시스템은 이들 상호간의 규약에 의한 합치(object integration)를 이룰 수 있어야 한다. 여기에 퍼지 속성 공간을 이용하여, 가장 근사한 합치를 이룰 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 예를 들어, A와 B 두 개의 시스템에서 객체의 상호 작용을 수행한다. 하면, A시스템의 하나의 객체를 두 개의 공통된 속성 공간에 위치시키고, B라는 시스템에서 이를 다시 해석하여 자신의 데이터베이스에 입력으로 받아들이는 방식을 채택하여 상호 작용의 연산을 설계하는 방식이다.

Recently, with the development of computer technology, field instrument and control system using in industrial fields have changed from mechanical, electrical systems to digital electronic systems. Distributed control system(DCS), control functions are dispersed for grading up reliability and informations are combined fur effective management has been developed and sold. As this system has been enlarged and complicated, it is difficult to testing the system and very important to verifing functions systematically. In this report, function test procedure which is performed spontaneously by domestic or foreign DCS manufacturer was searched and analyzed. As its results, the test procedure of DCS functions were proposed. The proposed procedure was applied to DCS being used for a thermal power plant. The function test for DCS requires continuous and dynamic input/output signals, therefore we proposed the method to compose virtual plant which simulate the DCS functions with. And we suggested the test procedure of each DCS function.

This study was conducted to analyze Korean companie's perception in IT investment cost-benefit analysis(CBA), and to see if various user group's perception is different. Literature was reviewed to classify and define variables in IT CBA, and questionnaire was distributed to CEOs, CIOs, IT managers, and general managers in Korean companies. Respondent's priority ranking in IT CBA was shown to be tangible benefit, direct cost/intangible benefit, and indirect cost/risk. Data analysis showed that Korean companie's actual practice in CBA was generally aligned with their perception. User group's(Executives vs. mangers, and IT managers vs. general managers) perception was not shown to be statistically different. Survey result also showed that IT CBA was not well practiced in the companies although respondents perceive the analysis very important. These findings suggest that more education and practical experience is needed for Korean companies to perform IT CBA.
