The food culture has been advanced with technical developments. The technical advances of food refrigeration and refrigerated transport system enable people to enjoy raw and fresh foods in the middle of dessert and in current days the development of information technology helps people to get variable information as like the information of food stuffs, freshness, the history of cooking, other useful information. We need to research the information architecture of food culture, which means Information technology grafts on the food culture, to provide diverse services that information technology utilized. As the first step of our research, we define the context of food culture for integration of food culture and Information technology, and find out the relationships between each factors. This research is considered the food culture as a medium between human to human relationships and the food, and redefined it with a relationship viewpoint. We've selected Yam cha that is one of the famous foods in southern China as a research item and referenced data that we researched with students in Guangzhou College of Art, China.

With advance of cloud computing technology, Blockchain as a Service of Cloud Service Provider has been utilized in various areas such as e-Commerce and financial companies to manage customer history and distribution history. However, if users' search history, purchase history, etc. are to be utilized in a BaaS in areas such as recommendation algorithms and search engine development, the users' search queries will be exposed to the company operating the BaaS, and privacy issues will be occured. Z. Guan et al. ensure the unlinkability between users' search query and search result using searchable encryption, and based on the inner product similarity, they select Top-k results that are highly relevant to the users' search query. However, there is a problem that the Top-k results selection may be not possible due to ties of inner product similarity, and BaaS over cloud is not considered. Therefore, this paper solve the problem of Z. Guan et al. using cosine similarity, so we improve accuracy of search result. And based on this, we design a BaaS with secure Top-k search that improved accuracy. Furthermore, we design a smart contracts that preserve privacy of users' search and obtain Top-k search results that are highly relevant to the users' search.

The rapid change in industry and the technological gap give rise to social demand for upskilling and reskilling and spread of alternative education. Against this backdrop, digital certification and career management tools can be used to manage various types of learning activities comprehensively. Digital badges provide various kinds of history information related to individual learning, and the reliability and transparency of the issued information can be strengthened by applying blockchain technology. There have been various discussions about digital badges for a long time, but due to the lack of standards to support the issuance and distribution of digital badges, they have been partially used in some areas. However, interest in digital badges is increasing due to the development of related technologies, establishment of standards, paradigm changes in higher education, and government policies related to nurturing digital talent. This paper deals with the use of digital badges for efficient and transparent learning management and career management in an online learning environment. The researcher analyzes the technical characteristics and use cases of digital badges, and proposes a plan for use in online higher education based on them.

Recently proposed intelligent images are generating, storing and managing along with existing image information and 5W1H information. Therefore, these vector images can be useful in searching and managing photos taking during building construction and maintenance processes. In addition, when the vector photos, a key to the intelligent image, is linked with BIM, it is possible to find BIM objects by utilizing information included in vector photos. And if the taken vector photo is saved as attributes of the extracted object, the vector photo can be managed as the historical data. Furthermore, this new technology will contribute to make the management of construction information more efficiently. This study is about the development of the technology of extracting BIM objects from vector photo information and managing the attributes of the extracted objects. Also the prototype modules was developed and tested to evaluate the processes of setting reference points, converting coordinate system, calculating positions, and so on. Through these processes, it was confirmed that the possibility of extracting BIM objects from vector photos and of managing attribute data of objects.

Global developmental delay (GDD) is a relatively common early-onset chronic neurological condition, which may have prenatal, perinatal, postnatal, or undetermined causes. Family history, physical and neurological examinations, and detailed history of environmental risk factors might suggest a specific disease. However, diagnostic laboratory tests, brain imaging, and other evidence-based evaluations are necessary in most cases to elucidate the causes. Diagnosis of GDD has recently improved because of remarkable advances in genetic technology, but this is an exhaustive and expensive evaluation that may not lead to therapeutic benefits in the majority of GDD patients. Inborn metabolic errors are one of the main targets for the treatment of GDD, although only a small proportion of GDD patients have this type of error. Nevertheless, diagnosis is often challenging because the phenotypes of many genetic or metabolic diseases often overlap, and their clinical spectra are much broader than currently known. Appropriate and cost-effective strategies including up-to-date information for the early identification of the "treatable" causes of GDD are needed for the development of well-timed therapeutic applications with the potential to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes.

Recently, development of indoor positioning system and IoT such as beacon makes it possible to collect and analyze each customer's shopping behavior in off-line shopping malls. In this study, we propose a realtime brand recommendation scheme based on each customer's brand visiting history for off-line shopping mall with indoor positioning system. The proposed scheme, which apply collaborative filtering to off-line shopping mall, is composed of training and apply process. The training process is designed to make the base brand network (BBN) using historical transaction data. Then, the scheme yields recommended brands for shopping customers based on their behaviors and BBN in the apply process. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, simulation was conducted using purchase history data from a department store in Korea. Then, the results was compared to the previous scheme. Experimental results showd that the proposed scheme performs brand recommendation effectively in off-line shopping mall.
