A diversity of wireless networks, with rapidly evolving wireless technology, are currently in service. Due to their innate physical layer vulnerability, wireless networks require enhanced security components. WLAN, WiBro, and UMTS have defined proper security components that meet standard security requirements. Extensive research has been conducted to enhance the security of individual wireless platforms, and we now have meaningful results at hand. However, with the advent of ubiquitous service, new horizontal platform service models with vertical crosslayer security are expected to be proposed. Research on synchronized security service and interoperability in a heterogeneous environment must be conducted. In heterogeneous environments, to design the balanced security components, quantitative evaluation model of security policy in wireless networks is required. To design appropriate evaluation method of security policies in heterogeneous wireless networks, we formalize the security properties in wireless networks. As the benefit of security protocols is indicated by the quality of protection (QoP), we improve the QoP model and evaluate hybrid security policy in heterogeneous wireless networks by applying to the QoP model. Deriving relative indicators from the positive impact of security points, and using these indicators to quantify a total reward function, this paper will help to assure the appropriate benchmark for combined security components in wireless networks.

Since the inception of the platform business in educational contents, the prominence of the online educational video has flipped the educational environment. Educational contents have been produced on the internet and allowed learners to access more flexible and student-centered. In fact, the number of people watching the educational content online, such as TED talks and YouTube, has increased during the past decade. The ways of delivering the lecture and the course information in online educational videos are totally different from the traditional lectures. In this paper, we aimed to examine and categorize the online educational videos based on the user's engagement and interest in the course contents. For the study, a negative binomial regression analysis was applied to estimate the effects of the attributes of the traditional lectures by comparatively analyzing the educational videos online. Several values are determined as engaging factors in the online educational videos; hybrid production of education and entertainment, shorter duration, and the number of presenters. From the study, we suggests how to produce engaging educational contents which will appeal the attentions from the users. Moreover, the result of the study may use as a guide to the providers making the productive educational videos.

Our approach permits to capitalize the expert's knowledge as business rules by using an agent-based platform. The objective of our approach is to allow experts to manage the daily evolutions of business domains without having to use a technician, and to allow them to be implied, and to participate in the development of the application to accomplish the daily tasks of their work. Therefore, the manipulation of an expert's knowledge generates the need for information security and other associated technologies. The notion of cryptography has emerged as a basic concept in business rules modeling. The purpose of this paper is to present a cryptographic algorithm based approach to integrate the security aspect in business rules modeling. We propose integrating an agent-based approach in the framework. This solution utilizes a security agent with domain ontology. This agent applies an encryption/decryption algorithm to allow for the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of the most important rules. To increase the security of these rules, we used hybrid cryptography in order to take advantage of symmetric and asymmetric algorithms. We performed some experiments to find the best encryption algorithm, which provides improvement in terms of response time, space memory, and security.

2005년 12월 1일 DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 본 방송이 실시된 이후 다양한 형태의 방송, 통신 융합 서비스가 시도되었다. 그러나 DMB가 성공적으로 시장에 정착하였음에도 불구하고 방송사 등 시장 참여자들의 수익 창출의 어려움, 속도 및 요금 측면에서의 양방향 망의 한계, 방송사, 통신사의 시스템 및 망에 종속적이며 폐쇄적인 콘텐츠 제작 및 제공 방식 등으로 인하여 성공을 거두지 못하였다. 그러나 스마트 폰과 같은 모바일 스마트 디바이스의 성공으로 방송, 통신 서비스 시장에 새로운 전기가 마련되어 다양한 융합 서비스가 시도될 것으로 예상되며, 지상파 DMB가 이러한 다양한 서비스와의 경쟁에서 우위를 점하고 중심 매체로 자리잡기 위해서는 새로운 개념의 융합 서비스 플랫폼이 필요하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이러한 새로운 개념의 플랫폼인 'HTML5 기반 융합 모바일방송 플랫폼'을 제안하고 실제 구현 예를 통하여 그 가능성을 제시하고자 한다. 제안하는 플랫폼은 누구나 콘텐츠 제공에 참여할 수 있고, 다양한 망, 단말, 서비스 모델이 융합되며, 표준화되고 개방된 API(Application Programming Interface)를 통하여 이를 소비할 수 있도록 하는 개념으로, 방송 콘텐츠 및 이에 의해 파생된 다양한 리치 미디어 콘텐츠의 생성, 전달, 소비에 이르는 생태계 전반에 대한 것이다. 이러한 플랫폼의 가능성을 제시하기 위하여 KBS(Korean Broadcasting System)는 서비스 시스템, 수신 프로그램 개발, 시험 서비스 구현 등의 개발을 진행하고 있으며, 그 결과를 본 논문에서 소개하고자 한다.

Indoor positioning is considered an enabler for a variety of applications, the demand for an indoor positioning service has also been accelerated. That is because that people spend most of their time indoor environment. Meanwhile, the smartphone integrated powerful camera is an efficient platform for navigation and positioning. However, for high accuracy indoor positioning by using a smartphone, there are two constraints that includes: (1) limited computational and memory resources of smartphone; (2) users' moving in large buildings. To address those issues, this paper uses the TC-OFDM for calculating the coarse positioning information includes horizontal and altitude information for assisting smartphone camera-based positioning. Moreover, a unified representation model of image features under variety of scenarios whose name is FAST-SURF is established for computing the fine location. Finally, an optimization marginalized particle filter is proposed for fusing the positioning information from TC-OFDM and images. The experimental result shows that the wide location detection accuracy is 0.823 m (1σ) at horizontal and 0.5 m at vertical. Comparing to the WiFi-based and ibeacon-based positioning methods, our method is powerful while being easy to be deployed and optimized.

Augmented reality (AR) is a popular service in mobile devices, and many AR applications can be downloaded from app stores. As TV broadcasting has continued to integrate with the Internet, it has become an area in which the AR concept is able to reside, although in a simple form, such as an advertisement placed in the static region of a scene. There are some restrictions against TV broadcasting realizing AR since TVs are fixed devices and typically do not have GPS, geomagnetic, or acceleration sensors, which are standard equipment in mobile devices. However, the desire to experience AR on a large TV screen has triggered research and development for an ideal AR business model and service type. This paper introduces several use cases for augmented broadcasting services and also presents an augmented broadcasting metadata scheme designed for a broadcasting environment. We also verify some of the use cases and an augmented broadcasting metadata scheme in an implemented augmented broadcasting system based on a hybrid TV platform.

This study re-examines new aesthetic values pursued by Givenchy, analyzing by the Haute Couture line's chief designers. The following conclusions have been reached: Hubert de Givenchy pursued modernity, infused with simplicity and structured stability. In particular, Audrey Hepburn, who was a loyal client and used his line in several movies, provided him the platform for international exposure which he used to further develop what became known as the "Hepburn" style. The subsequent brief tenure of John Galliano did yield the fantastic and magnificent "Galliano-style", but with irregularity. Based on romanticism, it redefined fashion using a wide range of colors, subjects and decoration. His successor, Alexander McQueen, applied opposite elements using a hybrid technique of pastiche, parody and collage. With innovative inspiration he compromised the concepts of gender, time, space and cultures and recreated futuristic forms of nature, animals, insects and mythical images. Julien Macdonald, who was appointed in 2001 as the Artistic Director for the women's collections, minimized his individual style and preferred feminine, graceful and sexy silhouettes. He breathed fresh life in to Givenchy Haute Couture, reinterpreting the Hepburn style in a modernistic mode. Being passed on the responsibility for both collections (i.e., haute couture and ready-to-wear) in 2005, Riccardo Tisci redefined elegance, combining his unique and tailored gothic style with Givenchy's grace. He is developing the future of Givenchy, experimenting with volume, silhouettes, new kinds of fabric and techniques.

Graphene has attracted a lot of attentions due to the unique electrical and optical properties. Compared with the noble metal plasmons in the visible and near-infrared frequencies, graphene can support surface plasmons in the lower frequencies of terahertz and mid-infrared and it demonstrates an extremely large confinement at the surface because of the particular electronic band structures. Especially, the surface conductivity of graphene can be tuned by either chemical doping or electrostatic gating. These features make graphene a promising candidate for plasmonics, biosensing and transformation optics. Furthermore, the combination of graphene and metasurfaces presents a powerful tunability for exotic electromagnetic properties, where the metasurfaces with the highly-localized fields offer a platform to enhance the interaction between the incident light and graphene and facilitate a deep modulation. In this paper, we provide an overview of the key properties of graphene, such as the surface conductivity, the propagating surface plasmon polaritons, and the localized surface plasmons, and the hybrid graphene/metasurfaces, either metallic and dielectric metasurfaces, from terahertz to near-infrared frequencies. Finally, there is a discussion for the current challenges and future goals.

위치기반 서비스 시스템에서 주 요구사항은 사용자의 실시간 위치 정보 검색과 질의에 대한 빠른 응답시간이다. 그러나 기존의 위치기반서비스 시스템에서 저장장치로 사용하는 디스크 기반 데이터베이스 시스템은 빈번한 디스크 I/O로 인해 발생하는 질의응답에 대한 시간지연으로 이러한 요구사항을 만족시키지 못한다. 또한 주기억장치 데이터베이스 시스템은 한번에 주기억장치에 적재할 수 있는 양이 제한되어 있기 때문에 대용량의 공간 데이터를 처리하는데 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 위치기반서비스를 위하여 위치 정보 데이터의 다단계 저장 관리를 통해 LBS 플랫폼에서 실시간 서비스를 지원하는 하이브리드 저장 관리자를 제안한다. 하이브리드 저장 관리 시스템은 위치기반 서비스 시스템에서 대용량의 이동체 데이터의 효과적인 저장 및 관리를 위해 주기억장치 데이터베이스 관리시스템과 디스크 기반의 공간 데이터베이스 관리시스템을 통합한 구조를 가진다. LBS 플랫폼에서 빠른 응답을 필요로 하고 자주 사용되는 데이터는 메모리 기반의 데이터베이스에 관리를 하고, 사용 빈도가 적은 데이터는 디스크 기반의 데이터베이스에 관리하는 하이브리드 저장 관리자를 제시한다.
