  • The purpose of this research is to evaluate Seoullo 7017 based on Universal Design (UD) principles and guidelines. To derive UD principles applicable to the site context, we used the 2017 Seoul Universal Design Guideline and assessment index provided by the Universal Design Research Center and established 11 evaluation criteria. With respect to research methods, a literature review and on-site field survey were applied, through which we derived UD principles and evaluation criteria to identify UD problems. The 11 evaluation criteria consist of pedestrian space, facilities, access, main entrance, parking lots, trails, restrooms, convenience facilities, information facilities, rest areas, and playgrounds, and these were associated with UD principles for evaluation. As a result, the main entrance had the highest UD score, while parking lots had the lowest in terms of equity, safety, simplicity, and accessibility. Restrooms received a lower UD score because of poor conditions of security and alert systems. Rest areas were found to be uncomfortable for disabled people. With respect to the internal trails, we found the lack of braille block and irregular placement of planting pots made blind people uncomfortable when walking. In terms of UD principles, flexibility received the highest score, followed by amenity, equity, simplicity, tolerance, accessibility, and safety. Flexibility received the highest score, owing to the provision of proper information about convenience facilities and trails, while safety received the lowest, based on poor access to parking lots, inadequate paving materials and colors, and a lack of 24-hour security systems. We hope this research contributes to improving the universal design, so that people are not discriminated against in the use of the park in terms of age, sex, or physical disability. We expect the study to help facilitate empirical studies to verify UD principles and provide improved quality of UD for Seoullo 7017.

  • Electronic documents are efficient to be created and managed, but they are liable to lose their originality because copies are created during distribution and delivery. For this reason, various security technologies for electronic documents have been applied. However, most security technologies currently used are for document management such as file access privilege control, file version and history management, and therefore can not be used in environments where authenticity is absolutely required, such as confidential documents. In this paper, we propose a method to detect document forgery and tampering through analysis of file system without installing an agent inside the instance operating system in cloud computing environment. BubbleDoc monitors the minimum amount of virtual volume storage in an instance, so it can efficiently detect forgery and tampering of documents. Experimental results show that the proposed technique has 0.16% disk read operation overhead when it is set to 1,000ms cycle for monitoring for document falsification and modulation detection.

  • Libraries should offer their services to all users including those who find difficult to access knowledge information without any obstacles or discrimination. Therefore, this study, aiming at providing library services to all users by applying 'Universal Design' to libraries, extracted and presented five components in library services: universal convenience, which allows all users to use libraries; safety of services, which offers safety in library use; user-orientedness, which offers user-oriented library services; user request, which allows library services reflecting the needs of users; and economic feasibility of the services, which provide efficient and economic library services. The proposed five components will play the foundational role in implementing universal design on libraries so that all users can use library services.

  • The purpose of this study is to design and test a new way of public transportation route guidance system for persons with disabilities, including wheelchair users. The guidance system is smartphone app-based, using, routes that involve disabled-friendly facilities in the vicinity can be searched. A database that contains publicly available data on low-floor bus services, location and extent of disabled-friendly facilities, and suitable subways and stations, was developed for this purpose. The app uses the database to access and query the required information. A pilot study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the guidance system. It was found that the system was able to convey information about the disabled-friendly routes and related guidance information even inside subway stations, effectively. The performance of the system was compared with route guidance services that do not explicitly use data on disabled-friendly services. A notable difference was observed in the travel time estimated by this program and other guidance services. The difference was around 4 to 15 minutes. This is significant savings for persons with disabilities if they use the app and service. The study thus shows that exclusive use of disabled-friendly data in route guidance will bring more benefits for persons with disabilities.

  • Ring networks are very commonly exploited among local area and metropolitan area networks (LAN/MAN), whereas cells or small fixed-size packets are widely used in synchronized ring networks. In this paper, we present an analytical method for evaluating the delay-throughput performance of a MAC protocol with multiple self-tokens in a slotted ring network under uniform traffic. In our analysis, we introduce the stationary probability, which indicates the number of packets in a node. Also, it is assumed that each node has a sufficiently large amount of self-tokens, and a slotted ring has the symmetry. The analytical results with respect to delay-throughput performance have similar values to computer simulated ones. Furthermore, in order to achieve fair access under non-uniform traffic, we propose an adaptive MAC protocol, where the number of self-tokens in a node dynamically varies, based on the number of packets transmitted within a specified period. In the proposed protocol, when the number of packets transmitted by a node within a specified period is larger than a specified threshold, the node decreases the number of self-tokens in a per-node distributed method. That results in creating free slots in the ring, thus all nodes can obtain an equal opportunity to transmit into the ring. Performance results obtained by computer simulation show that our proposed protocol can maintain throughput fairness under non-uniform traffic.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the satisfaction on the Gwangju Kimchi Festival. The results of this study were as follows: In terms of satisfaction on 'pre event publicity of the Festival', the satisfaction of '03 was high. It was founded that Publicity through TV was successful. The visitors' satisfaction on understanding regional cultures was low. It was consecutively low for three years. There should be strategic development plans to increase satisfaction about understanding regional cultures. It was found that TV was the major pre event information resource for the residents. Also word of mouth was the most important pre event information resource for domestic tourists. The satisfaction on access to festival was increased consecutively. Providing free shuttle buses to the festival place and placing festival placard influenced positively. There should be expansion of service facilities. There should be more strengthening of festival information services and guiding facilities. More professional interpretation systems and interpretation education are necessary. Visitors satisfied about festival products and quality of the products. Visitors satisfied with festival events programs and hands on experience based programs including making diverse Kimchi.

  • XML architecture is important to wireless or wired presentation. It is also important for data exchange between businesses. XML forces the separation of content from style and gives wired or wireless devices flexibility for interpretation. Separation of content, style, and logic is key to advanced architecture. XML can be exchanged among databases on multiple systems with presentation on wired or wireless devices. An XML schema might need to be defined, or an established DTD might need to be transformed to access a relational database on the server. The purpose of this study is to generate XML documents such as DTD, XML schema, RDB mapping using Tagfree's XML developer tools in order to experience whole processes mentioned above. Overall understanding of data structures of and database processing with XML documents, which is essential to XML programming and database processing, can be accomplished with this study without much endeavor to learn complex XML syntax. The future study can be extended on the subject of web programming with DOM or SAX API.

  • A new multi-channel access scheme and the associated network architecture for a single-hop WDM local area network is proposed in this paper. The proposed architecture has Central Scheduling Node (CSN) for the transmission coordination among many users, which is one of the key issues in single-hop WDM networks. The data channels, source nodes, and destination nodes are selected at CSN in very simple menner. Our scheme can relive the control processing overhead at all nodes in the network which is caused in existing distributed scheduling algorithms. CSN is simple in the architecture can be implemented easily. in respect to the network performance, the maximum obtainable throughput is up to that of the ideal output queuing because of collision free scheduling. We use the MQMS (multi-queue multi-server) model for performance analaysis.

  • There are many kinds of research on web graph, most of them are focus on the hyperlinked structure of the web graph. Well known results on the web graph are rich-get-richer phenomenon, small-world phenomenon, scale-free network, etc. In this paper, we define a new directed web graph, so called the Web Usage Pattern Graph (WUPG), that nodes represent web sites and arcs between nodes represent a movement between two sites by users' browsing behavior. The data to constructing the WUPG, approximately 56,000 records, are gathered in the Kyungsung University. The results analysing the data summarized as follows: (i) extremely rich-get-richer phenomenon (ii) average path length between sites is significantly less than the previous one (iii) less external hyperlinks, more internal hyperlinks

  • A new code, LS code, was proposed for the IMT-2000 CDMA system. The code has special properties during a specific time interval: 1) perfect autocorrelation, and 2) perfect crosscorrelation. Perfect autocorrelation means maximum autocorrelation for zero time-offset and zero autocorrelation for all other times during a specific time interval. Moreover, perfect crosscorrelation means that the crosscorrelation has zero value during a certain time, you can remove all the MAI within that time. However, the detailed properties of LS code and its exact generation method have been previously unknown. Therefore, we investigate the LS code in regards to its exact generating method, properties, and performances in this paper.
