Applications such as study guides and adaptive tutoring must rely on a fine grained student model to tailor their interaction with the user. They are useful for Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT), for example, where the test items can be administered in order to maximize the information. I study how to design learner tailoring question process for recommendation. And this process can be applied the CAT and I use the formal language such as CSP in each process development for efficient process design. I use the item difficulty of item response theory for question recommendation process and learner can choice the difficulty step for learning change to control the difficulty of question in next learning. Finally, this method displayed the structural difference to compare between existent and this process.

Authentication mechanisms coupled with strong encryption techniques are used for network security purposes; however, given sufficient time, well-equipped intruders are successful for compromising system security. The authentication protocols often fail when they are analysed critically. Formal approaches have emerged to analyse protocol failures. In this study, Communicating Sequential Processes (CSP) which is an abstract language designed especially for the description of communication patterns is employed. Rank functions are also used for verification and analysis which are helpful to establish that some critical information is not available to the intruder. In order to establish this, by assigning a value or rank to each critical information, it is shown that all the critical information that can be generated within the network have a particular characterizing property. This paper presents an application of rank functions approach to an authentication protocol that combines delaying the decryption process with timed authentication while keys are dynamically renewed under pseudo-secure situations. The analysis and verification of authentication properties and results are presented and discussed.

As a very important part in development of the protocol, verifications for developed protocol specification are complementary techniques that are used to increase the level of confidence in the system functions by their specifications. Using the informal method for specifying the protocol, some ambiguity may be contained therein. This indwelling ambiguity in control systems can cause the occurrence of accidents, especially in the case of safety-critical systems. To clear the vagueness contained in the designed protocol, we use the LTS (Labeled Transition System) model to design the protocol for railway signaling. And then, we verify the safety and the liveness properties formally through the model checking method. The modal ${\mu}$-calculus, which is an expressive method of temporal logic, has been applied to the model checking method. We verify the safety and liveness properties of Korean standard protocol for railway signaling systems. To perform automatic verification of the safety and liveness properties of the designed protocol, a communication verification tool is implemented. The developed tools are implemented by C++ language under Windows XP. It is expected to increase the safety and reliability of communication protocol for signaling systems by using the developed communication verification tool.

UML activity diagram is useful to model business process and workflow by reason of its suitability to present dynamic aspect of system. However it Is difficult to present precise semantics which is taken as important in workflow system with the guide provided by OMG to the UML activity diagram. This paper suggests workfolw system modelling methodology by applying ASM semantics to the activity diagram after extending its semantics to correspond to workflow system characteristics. Through the exact definition to formal semactics based on ASM it is possible to effectively model workflow.

This Paper classified korean Parts-of-speech for korean-english machine translation and investigated morphological characters of each parts-of-speech. Korean standard grammar classified parts-of-speech by semantic, functional and formal character. Many rules make a difficulties the understanding of grammar structure and parts-of-speech classification and it is necessary to preprocess at machine translation. This paper classified korean parts-of-speech by one rule. The parts-of-speech suggested in this paper have a same syntactic role and same parts-of-speech with english dictionary, and express the structure of korean sentence. And also it can make target language by pattern matching in korean-english translation.

When a mail was given to users, each user's response could be different according to his or her preference. This paper presents a solution for this situation by constructing a u!;or preferred ontology for anti-spam systems. To define an ontology for describing user behaviors, we applied associative classification mining to study preference information of users and their responses to emails. Generated classification rules can be represented in a formal ontology language. A user preferred ontology can explain why mail is decided to be spam or non-spam in a meaningful way. We also suggest a nor rule optimization procedure inspired from logic synthesis to improve comprehensibility and exclude redundant rules.

This paper focuses on the response of architectural form to the technological characteristics in the institute facilities. For this, we study the meaning of technology in the aspect of physical, formal and social concepts and their architectural expression and sort by grouping through analyzing 27 cases of foreign current Institute facilities. Conclusions can be summarized as followings: 1) Vocabulary of technology in physical concept is presented by the environmental control through the experimental surface such as louver and glazing and the independent exposed equipment. 2) Vocabulary of technology in physical concept is presented using the machine like aesthetics by exposing the structural members and designing the exterior form using dynamical images. 3) The expression of social meaning in technology is presented by standardization, parts assembling through mass production system, the unit material for expression of today's industrial society. The expressions of technological language in the institute facilities are used not only one vocabulary but comprehensive ones.

Offshore software development (OSD) is international business collaboration. OSD projects often encounter intercultural and inter-linguistic problems disturbing the projects. Business documents are formal media of information and knowledge for OSD. While OSD documents should convey common understanding of the OSD products, the documents may contain unsuitable expressions which draw misunderstanding of the required products and offensive issues for the collaboration. Intercultural and inter-linguistic differences cause mistakes and inappropriate expressions. OSD from Japan to China is the largest in Asia, and Japanese language is often used in OSD documents. Large similarity is found between Japanese and Chinese in their languages, while many differences exist even for the same word. The similarity induces to write unsuitable expressions for both sides of OSD. To introduce risks for OSD projects caused by unsuitable or inappropriate expressions in OSD documents, we propose to apply a proofreading system of Japanese documents for OSD. Japanese consignor uses the system to refine OSD documents written by Japanese engineers for Chinese readers, and Chinese consignee uses it to refine Japanese documents written by Chinese Engineers as derivatives of OSD projects. Effectiveness of applying the proofreading system is discussed for actual projects.

Dependability-critical systems, such as digital instrumentation and control systems in nuclear power plants, necessitate engineering techniques and tools to provide assurances of their safety and reliability. Determining system reliability at the architectural design phase is important since it may guide design decisions and provide crucial information for trade-off analysis and estimating system cost. Despite this, reliability and system engineering remain separate disciplines and engineering processes by which the dependability analysis results may not represent the designed system. In this article we provide an overview and application of our approach to build architecture-based, dynamic system models for dependability-critical systems and then automatically generate dynamic fault trees (DFT) for comprehensive, tool-supported reliability analysis. Specifically, we use the Architectural Analysis and Design Language (AADL) to model the structural, behavioral and failure aspects of the system in a composite architecture model. From the AADL model, we seek to derive the DFT(s) and use Galileo's automated reliability analyses to estimate system reliability. This approach alleviates the dependability engineering - systems engineering knowledge expertise gap, integrates the dependability and system engineering design and development processes and enables a more formal, automated and consistent DFT construction. We illustrate this work using an example based on a dynamic digital feed-water control system for a nuclear reactor.
