Many efforts are being made to enhance user productivity and promote collaboration while ensuring the economic efficiency of office buildings. Analyzing space utilization, indicating how users utilize spaces, has been a crucial factor in these efforts. Appropriate space utilization enhances building maintenance and space layout design, reducing unnecessary energy waste and under-occupied spaces. Recognizing the importance of space utilization, there have been several studies to predict space utilization using information about users, activities, and spaces. These studies suggested an ontology of the information and implemented automated activity-space mapping as part of space utilization prediction. Despite the existing studies, there remains a gap in integrating space utilization prediction with automated space layout design. As a foundational study to bridge this gap, our study proposes a novel methodology that automatically generates office rooms based on space utilization optimization. This methodology consists of three modules: Activity-space mapping, Space utilization calculation, and Room generation. The first two modules use data on space types and user activity types as input to calculate and optimize space utilization through requirement-based activity-space mapping. After optimizing the space utilization value within an appropriate range, the number and area of each space type are determined. The Room generation module then automatically generates rooms with optimized areas and numbers. The practical application of the developed methodology is demonstrated, highlighting its effectiveness in fabricated case scenario. By automatically generating rooms with optimal space utilization, our methodology shows potential for expanding to automated generation of optimized space layout design based on space utilization.

In this paper, we consider the detection of orthogonal space-time block codes (OSTBCs) without channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. Based on the conventional blind cyclic decoder, we propose an enhanced blind cyclic decoder which has higher system performance than the conventional one. Furthermore, the proposed decoder offers low complexity since it does not require the computation of singular value decomposition.

Recently, the development of the head mounted display (HMD) device has attracted a great deal of attention to the actual contents. Especially, Augmented Reality (AR), which is a mixture of actual information and virtual world information, is focused on. AR HMD is able to interact by arranging virtual objects in real space through spatial recognition using depth camera. In order to naturally mix virtual space with real space, it is necessary to develop a technology for realizing spatial mapping information with high accuracy. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the optimal configuration of augmented reality application program by realizing accurate spatial mapping information when mapping a real space and an object placement environment using HoloLens. To do this, we changed the spatial mapping information in real space to three levels, which are the number of meshes used in cubic meters to scan step by step. After that, it was compared with the 3D model obtained by changing the actual space and mesh number. Experimental result shows that the higher the number of meshes used in cubic meters, the higher the accuracy between real space and spatial mapping. This paper is expected to be applied to augmented reality application programs that require scanning of highly mapped spatial mapping information.

The performance of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks depends on setting up the Radial Basis Functions over the input space which are the important design procedure of Radial Basis Function Neural Networks. The existing method to initialize the location of the radial basis functions over the input space is to use the conditional fuzzy C-means clustering. However, the researchers which are interested in the conditional fuzzy C-means clustering cannot get as good modeling performance as they expect because the conditional fuzzy C-means clustering cannot project the information which is extracted over the output space into the input space. To compensate the above mentioned drawback of the conditional fuzzy C-means clustering, we apply a fuzzy K-nearest neighbors approach to project the auxiliary information defined over the output space into the input space without lose of the information.

With the advent of uniquitous life, changes of users' demands make a public library accomplish roles and functions of a complex service center providing information, education and culture service. As a multi-function center, a public library provides various services based on physical and digital space in ubiquitous environment. Information commons is a basement of physical space in an u-Library. Especially, with the advent of ubiquitous environment, design and use of physical space will be a critical issue for a public library to perform its role and function as a multiple complicated space. This study derives facilities and components for designing and implementing information commons in a public library as a physical space. To perform the goals, this study focuses on the newest trends and requirements through literature study, case study and survey. As a result, this study proposes components of facility and principles of design to implement information commons as a physical space in a public library.

Modern society is heading towards a knowledge & information based society where knowledge and information is valued, or a knowledge creation society where information is analyzed and processed to be used as knowledge. This means that not only individuals but also every organization is always surrounded by information and that we are witnessing a transition into a society where the value of knowledge and information is increasingly higher so sometimes we must actively explore and use the information across the whole social structure involved with politics, economy and culture. Recently, while the amount of information at public libraries at home and abroad has greatly increased in volume and the kinds have become diverse, efforts for digitalizing and integrating knowledge & information resources are being pursued aggressively. A new paradigm of facilities and space configuration for public libraries is required so that along with traditional library service there will exist integrated links and exchange of digital information resources and all users will be able to equally access that information. Therefore, assuming that human, information and space are important design factors as to space planning for public libraries, this study compared characteristics of the space structure and the form of exchange of knowledge & information through examples involved with public libraries having opened in the past three to four years from perspectives of space sociology and communication. This is a basic study to provide organized design guidelines about the form of exchange of creative knowledge & information from various perspectives in the knowledge & information age. Also this study is considered to have a significance in activating communication with users through exchange, creation and experience of knowledge & information, which is a social role that modern public libraries support.

In this paper, an algorithm to extract bar-space area is suggested. In a section of bar-code space area the threshold value is computed, and bar and space are extracted according to threshold value. PDF417 is used everyday life and printed in many different materials. The printed PDF417 is especially influenced by various light source. The decision of bar and space is very hard under the change of illumination. The fixed threshold value to distinguish the bar and space can not be applied. in these cases, The proposed algorithm is developed to investigate variable threshold. The variable threshold can be obtained by simple calculation.
