최근 급격히 증가한 모바일 기기로 인하여 발생되는 데이터/제어 트래픽은 LTE/EPC 네트워크에서 중앙에 과다한 트래픽 수용문제가 중요 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 기존의 Centralized Mobility Management(CMM) 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크에서 Mobility Anchor 역할을 수행하는 Packet Data Network Gateway (P-GW)에서는 데이터 트래픽 과부하가 발생한다. 또한 Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크에서 분산된 Mobility Anchor 역할을 수행하는 PDN Edge Gateway (P-EGW)에서는 제어 트래픽의 과부하가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 CMM 기반과 DMM 기반을 결합한 새로운 Software Defined Network (SDN) 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 이동성 관리 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위하여, P-EGW를 네트워크 내에 분산 배치하고 중앙에 P-GW를 배치한다. SDN 컨트롤러는 EPC의 역할도 수행하며 UE의 이동성에 따라 적절한 CMM 기법과 DMM 기법을 이용하도록 하는 기법을 제안한다. 또한, 제안하는 새로운 LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조와 기존의 CMM기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조, DMM 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조를 핸드오버 지연시간과 데이터 전송시간 측면에서 성능 비교 분석을 한다.

RFID is rising as a means which recognizes products efficiently and correctly. The use of RFID technology can reduce the expense of excess stocktaking, forgery, labor and improve supply network. RFID technology uses RF to recognize the products. EPC, a small tag, is attached to each product, which includes specific product information. Each EPC is only one and can recognize each product. If EPC tag moves to a specific location, the reader reads the tag, the data of which get to be stored in EPC information service, a data storage system. All services can approach EPC information service through web and whenever users demand services, they are provided with the data they want. This study shows an inventory control system is implemented by EPC information service.

EPC (Electronic Product Code) tags and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) technology are said to have potential to change the ways individuals, organizations and societies operate on the everyday basis. In the near future, it is expected that every major retailer will use RFID and EPC systems to track the movement of products from suppliers to warehouses, store backrooms and eventually to points of sale. Recent efforts in EPC tags and RFID technology attempt to achieve an appropriate kind of interaction between technical and business areas. In this paper, we explore the fundamental characteristics of RFID and EPC applications and then review the different research studies of RFID technology and EPC system that have been proposed new theories and concepts that have emerged and utilized in different business fields of manufacturing and logistics. It provides an overview of the study achievements within the domain and critically evaluates the various approaches through the use of a case study and the construction of its comparison framework. The different research studies indicated that RFID and EPC systems will become more pervasive in the future and the changes that occur over the next few years will make for a further fascinating research area.

ALE-complient RFID middleware system receives EPC code data from reader devices and converts the data into URN format data internally. After filtering and grouping, the system sends the resulting URN code to application and(or) users. Meanwhile, not only the types of EPC code are very diverse, but also another new kinds of EPC code can be emerged in the future. Therefore, a method to process all kinds of EPC code effectively is required by RFID middleware. In this paper, a method to process various kinds of EPC code acquired from RFID reader devices in ALE-complient RFID middleware is proposed. Especially, we propose an approach using ontology technology to process not only existing EPC code but also newly defined code in the future. That is, we build an ontology of conversion rules for each EPC data type to effectively convert EPC data into URL format data. In this case, we can easily extend RFID middleware to process a new EPC code data by adding a conversion rule ontology for the code.

스마트폰이 과거 수년 사이에 급격하게 확산됨에 따라 LTE망 운영자들은 많은 모바일 데이터 트래픽 용량에 대처하기 위해 노력하고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 LTE/EPC 네트워크에서 집중화된 제어 평면과 분산된 P-GW를 지원하는 새로운 SDN 기반 분산 이동성 관리기법을 제안한다. 네트워크 성능을 더욱 향상 시키기 위해, LTE 사용자들 사이에 교환되는 내부 트래픽을 위한 경로 최적화를 제안한다. 제안된 기법과 기존의 LTE/EPC 네트워크의 기법의 P-GW 데이터 처리 용량과 데이터 처리 수 측면에서 성능을 비교함으로써, 제안된 기법이 LTE/EPC 코어 네트워크의 확장성을 증가시키는 효율적인 방법임을 보여준다.

With the common objective to improve process productivity and product quality, statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC) have been widely used in the discrete-parts industry and the process industry, respectively. The major focus of SPC is on process monitoring, while that of EPC is on process adjustment. The emergence of the hybrid industry necessitates a synergistic combination of the two methods for an effective process control. This paper investigates the existing studies on SPC, EPC, and the integration of the two methods. This paper also presents future research issues in this field.

The development of RFID system is increasing rapidly by applying to variety fields recently. Especially, RFID system is used to the focus technology of the supply chain management in distribution field of the supplier. In distribution field, We have to grasp products quickly and correctly, but this has a problem to make an inventory of products in real-time because of products transfer. In this paper, to solve this problems. We grasp the state of inventory in real-time by using EPC-IS network becoming the organizational standard of RFID network. also, We offer an authentation of product service to grasp counterfeits and stolen goods in real-time. Therefore, in this paper, We show to be able to process an authentation of product service and inventory of products in distribution field in real-time.

The risk of project execution increases due to the enlargement and complexity of Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) plant projects. In the fourth industrial revolution era, there is an increasing need to utilize a large amount of data generated during project execution. The design is a key element for the success of the EPC plant project. Although the design cost is about 5% of the total EPC project cost, it is a critical process that affects the entire subsequent process, such as construction, installation, and operation & maintenance (O&M). This study aims to develop a system using machine-learning (ML) techniques to predict risks and support decision-making based on big data generated in an EPC project's design and construction stages. As a result, three main modules were developed: (M1) the design cost estimation module, (M2) the design error check module, and (M3) the change order forecasting module. M1 estimated design cost based on project data such as contract amount, construction period, total design cost, and man-hour (M/H). M2 and M3 are applications for predicting the severity of schedule delay and cost over-run due to design errors and change orders through unstructured text data extracted from engineering documents. A validation test was performed through a case study to verify the model applied to each module. It is expected to improve the risk response capability of EPC contractors in the design and construction stage through this study.

As a recent global trend, the majority of mega-size plant projects are delivered through EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contracts, where a single contract is awarded for engineering, procurement, and construction. Under this contracting mechanism, it is challenging for contractors to carry out the projects under traditional project management processes used in design-bid-build projects. A new EPC Plant, the POSCO Special Steel Plant in Changwon, was built successfully at the beginning of 2012 and it is currently in full-scale production. The project has encountered a number of major difficulties however, with some technical and managerial issues through its development process. As summarized in this paper, the authors (as project participants with the contractor) investigated it as a post construction analysis and recorded the Lessons-learned for future project management improvement.

최근 급격히 증가한 모바일 기기와 Over The Top (OTT) 서비스의 활성화로 인하여 CMM 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크에 과다한 데이터/제어 트래픽의 수용이 힘들어지는 문제가 중요 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 IETF는 Distributed Mobility Management (DMM) 기반의 이동성 관리 방안을 제안하였다. 하지만 DMM 기술은 중앙의 트래픽 부하 분산에 초점을 두고 있어 단말의 이동과 관련하여 발생하는 과다한 제어 트래픽 수용에 관한 문제를 해결하기에는 부족하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 SDN 기반으로 CMM과 DMM을 함께 이용하는 HMM (Hybrid Mobility Management) LTE/ECP 네트워크 모델을 제시한다. 또한 HMM 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 모델은 CMM 및 DMM 기법의 선택을 위해 단말의 이동성과 PDN 연결의 개수를 고려한 선택방안을 제시하며, 제안하는 HMM 기반의 LTE/EPC 네트워크 구조에서의 데이터 트래픽 부하량과 단말의 이동성과 PDN 연결 개수에 따라 제어 트래픽의 양을 비교하는 그래프를 제시하며 제안하는 네트워크 모델의 타당성을 입증한다.
