Most of conventional mobile agent systems requre that the users or the programmer should give the mobile agenl its detail behavioral script for accomplishing the given task. And during its runtime, such mobile agents just behave acording to the fixed script given by its user. Therefore it is impossible that conventional mobile agents autonomously build their own plans and execute. There in considering their ultirnale goals and the dynamic world states. One way to overcome such limtations of conventional mobile agent systems is to develop an mielligent mobile agent system ombedding a reactive planner.In this paper, we design both a modelof agent inobility and a model of inter-agent commuication based upon the representative reactive planning agent architecture called JAM. An then we develop an intelligent mobile agent system with planing capability, IMAS, by implementing addtional basic actions for agent moves and inter-agent comunication within JAM according too the predevined models. Unlike conventional mobile agents, IMAS agents can be able to adapt, their behaviors to the dynamic changes of their anvironment as well as build their own plans autonomously. Thus IMAS aents can snow higher flexibility and robustness than the conventional ones.

Mobile agents have the unique ability to transport themselves from one system in a network to another. The ability to travel allows mobile agents to move to a system that contains services with which they want to interact and then to take advantage of being in the same host or network as the service. But most of conventional mobile agent systems require that the users or the programmer should give the mobile agent its detail behavioral script for accomplishing the given task. And during its runtime, such mobile agents just behave according to the fixed script given by its user. Therefore it is impossible that conventional mobile agents autonomously build their own plants and execute them in considering their ultimate goals and the dynamic world states. One way to overcome such limitations of conventional mobile agent systems is to develop an intelligent mobile agent system embedding a reactive planner. In this paper, we design both a model of agent mobility and a model of inter-agent communication based upon the representative reactive planning agent architecture called JAM. An then we develop an intelligent mobile agent system with reactive planning capability, IMAS, by implementing additional basic actions for agent moves and inter-agent communication within JAM according to the predefined models. Unlike conventional mobile agents. IMAS agents can be able to adapt their behaviors to the dynamic changes of their environments as well as build their own plans autonomously. Thus IMAS agents can show higher flexibility and robustness than the conventional ones.

The new communication paradigm is rapidly shifted from wireless mobile networks to an All-IP(Internet Protocol) network, led by service industry leaders and communication manufacturers. In this paradigm, providing authentication and session keys of a subscriber becomes one of the critical tasks because of IP open accessibility among heterogeneous networks. In this paper, we introduce authentication process procedure of heterogeneous wireless mobile networks and develop so-called IMAS(Integrated Mobile Authentication Server) which can securely inter-work among all mobile networks and support the legacy networks with backward compatibility. Especially, in designing IMAS, mobile authentication inter-working mechanism, key management technique, and other issues to be overcome are presented. We analyze and evaluate the performance of authentication algorithm which creates session key. A simulation environment of IMAS is established, and a performance(TPS; Transaction Per Second) result is analyzed and evaluated. It turned out that IMAS works among heterogeneous wireless mobile networks without compensating efficiency and functionalities of the legacy networks and decrease the entropy of data redundancy and data inconsistency among networks because of the integrity of the distributed Data Base(DB).

Drone has been widely used for many applications ranging from amateur and leisure to professionals to get fast and accurate 3-D information of the surface of the interest. Most of commercial softwares developed for this purpose are performing automatic matching based on SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) or SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features) using nadir-looking stereo image sets. Since, there are some situations where not only nadir and nadir-looking matching, but also nadir and oblique-looking matching is needed, the existing software for the latter case could not get good results. In this study, a matching experiment was performed to utilize images with differences in geometry. Nadir and oblique-looking images were acquired through drone for a total of 2 times. SIFT, SURF, which are feature point-based, and IMAS (Image Matching by Affine Simulation) matching techniques based on affine transformation were applied. The experiment was classified according to the identity of the geometry, and the presence or absence of a building was considered. Images with the same geometry could be matched through three matching techniques. However, for image sets with different geometry, only the IMAS method was successful with and without building areas. It was found that when performing matching for use of images with different geometry, the affine transformation-based matching technique should be applied.

Purpose: To study the relationship of the 1st to 2nd intermetatarsal angle(1-2 IMA) between the intra-operative and weight bearing postoperative anterior-posterior(AP) radiography, and evaluate the intra-operative predictability for the postoperative 1-2 IMA after proximal metatarsal osteotomy(PMO) in the hallux valgus deformity. Materials and Methods: 20 cases of moderate to severe hallux valgus patients were included in this study. After the oblique PMO(Ludloff procedure) was performed and the osteotomy site was fixed temporarily, the AP view was taken intra-operatively. About 10 weeks after surgery, postoperative weight bearing AP view was taken. The pre -. intra -, and postoperative 1-2 IMAs were compared and ana lysed statistically. Results: The 1-2 IMAs of the weight bearing preoperative, non-weight bearing intra-operative and weight bearing postoperative AP view were $15.9^{\circ}{\pm}1.8^{\circ},\;4.7^{\circ}{\pm}2.1^{\circ}$, and $6.8^{\circ}{\pm}2.5^{\circ}$ (Mean${\pm}$SD) respectively. The postoperative 1-2 IMA was greater than intra-operative measurement by $2.1^{\circ}{\pm}1.8^{\circ}$ (range; $-1^{\circ}$ to $6^{\circ}$) which was stastistically significant(p<0.05). To get less than $9^{\circ}$ postoperatively as an average normal, intra-operative 1-2 IMA should be within $3.8^{\circ}$ to $5.2^{\circ}$ (95% confidence interval), and intra-operative 1-2 IMA should be within $3.4^{\circ}{\pm}$to $5.4^{\circ}$(95% confidence interval) to get more than $6^{\circ}$ difference between preoperative and postoperative 1-2 IMA, which is regarded as more than average correction by the distal metatarsal osteotomy. Conclusion: In hallux valgus surgery, it should be considered that intra-operative 1-2 IMA was less than the postoperative. To achieve postoperative 1-2 IMA less than $9^{\circ}$ and more than correction angle of $6^{\circ}$, it is suggested that the intra-operative 1-2 IMA should be measured less than about $5^{\circ}$.

Objective: To investigate the association between CT imaging features and survival outcomes in patients with primary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA). Materials and Methods: Preoperative CT image findings were consecutively evaluated in 317 patients with resected IMA from January 2011 to December 2015. The association between CT features and long-term survival were assessed by univariate analysis. The independent prognostic factors were identified by the multivariate Cox regression analyses. The survival comparison of IMA patients was investigated using the Kaplan-Meier method and propensity scores. Furthermore, the prognostic impact of CT features was assessed based on different imaging subtypes, and the results were adjusted using the Bonferroni method. Results: The median follow-up time was 52.8 months; the 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival rates of resected IMAs were 68.5% and 77.6%, respectively. The univariate analyses of all IMA patients demonstrated that 15 CT imaging features, in addition to the clinicopathologic characteristics, significantly correlated with the recurrence or death of IMA patients. The multivariable analysis revealed that five of them, including imaging subtype (p = 0.002), spiculation (p < 0.001), tumor density (p = 0.008), air bronchogram (p < 0.001), emphysema (p < 0.001), and location (p = 0.029) were independent prognostic factors. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that pneumonic-type IMA had a significantly worse prognosis than solitary-type IMA. Moreover, for solitary-type IMAs, the most independent CT imaging biomarkers were air bronchogram and emphysema with an adjusted p value less than 0.05; for pneumonic-type IMA, the tumors with mixed consolidation and ground-glass opacity were associated with a longer DFS (adjusted p = 0.012). Conclusion: CT imaging features characteristic of IMA may provide prognostic information and individual risk assessment in addition to the recognized clinical predictors.
