Ara Canal is the first artificial canal in Korea that connects the Han River and the Yellow Sea. Due to mixture of waters with different salinity and water quality, complicated hydrodynamic and water quality distributions are expected to occur inside the canal. An integrated hydrodynamic and water quality modeling system was developed using the 3 dimensional hydrodynamic model, EFDC (Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code) and the water quality model WASP (Water Quality Analysis and Simulation Program). According to the modeling results, BOD, TN, TP and Chl-a concentrations inside the canal were lower at the West Gate side than the Han River side since influent concentrations of the West Gate side are significantly lower. Chemical stratification due to salinity difference were more evident at the West Gate side as vertical salinity difference were more pronounced in this area. On the other hand, Chl-a concentrations showed more pronounced vertical distribution at the Han River side as Chl-a concentrations were higher in this area. It was notable that Dissolved Oxygen concentrations can be lower than 2 mg/L occasionally in the middle part of the canal. While major factor affecting DO concentrations in the canal are inflows via both gates, the other important factor was found to be BOD decay in the canal due to extended hydraulic residence time. This study can be used to predict hydrodynamic conditions and water quality in the canal during the year and thus can be helpful in the development of gate operation method of the canal.

During the ground operation of Korean army, the voice message is mainly used for exchanging informations related to the surveillance and reconnaissance, command and control, and precision strike. However, in order to the battlefield visualization among fighting powers participating in the ground force operation, automatic situational awareness and variable message format (VMF) for command and control are required. For securing core technologies necessary for the battlefield visualization, message standard and message handler are established through several applied researches. Besides, the VMF for equipping a weapon system is in development. In this paper, a study on the Korean variable message format (KVMF), where interoperability of integrated battle management system (BMS) is guaranteed due to performing joint, ground, and combined operations so that the situation awareness and strike system can be automated in almost real time, is presented. From the modeling and simulation (M&S) results of the message processor, delay time is varied in accordance with the number of nodes in unit platoon network, message length, and generation interval of routine messages. Therefore, it is shown that the system performance can be optimized by establishing proper network protocol for each situation.

Systems Engineering(SE), as a special discipline evolved from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary design knowledges and practical lessons learned from development practices, is required to develop today's ever-growing large complex systems. As computer speed and analytic sophistication accelerate their applications, modern society's needs have become increasingly varied and complex. Rapid advances in Systems Engineering and its education programs among the developed countries demonstrate their needs as an alternative to what is lacking from traditional disciplinary engineering to meet new challenges of our changing social environments. Systems Engineering is an interdisciplinary approach that includes both management and technical processes. Its processes, methods, and tools are used to evolve, define, and verify an integrated, life-cycle balanced set of system solution that satisfy customer needs and requirements. The process methodology offers a top-down comprehensive, iterative and recursive problem solving process which includes the stating the problems, investigating the alternatives, architecting and modeling the system, integrating and operating the system, assessing and re-evaluating the system performances. The purpose of this paper is to research the cases of SE educational programs for both domestic and other developed countries and to propose recommendations for the domestic SE educational programs in the future.

After the US government declared 3D printing technology a next-generation manufacturing technology, there have been many practical studies conducted to expand 3D printing technology to manufacturing technologies, called AMERICA MAKES. In particular, the Keck Center, located at the University of Texas at El Paso, has studied techniques for easily combing the 3D stacking process with space mobility and expanded these techniques to simultaneous staking techniques for multiple materials. Additionally, it developed convergence manufacturing techniques, such as direct inking techniques, in order to produce a module structure that combines electronic circuits and components, such as CUBESET. However, in these studies, it is impossible to develop a unified system using traditional independent through simple sequencing connections. This is because there are many problems in the integration between the stacking modeling of 3D printers and post-machining, such as thermal deformations, the precision accuracy of 3D printers, and independently driven coordinate problems among process systems. Therefore, in this paper, the integration method is suggested, which combines these 3D printers and subsequent machining process systems through an Internet-based cloud. Additionally, the sequential integrated system of a 3D printer, an NC milling machine, machine vision, and direct inking are realized.

This research aims at investigating the factors determining the success of knowledge management system(KMS) in research organizations. Based on the literature survey and the general framework of IS success model, a new comprehensive model which is customized to the context of KMS is proposed. Some organizational support factors and an individual personality variable that moderates the relationship between predictors and the success factors are also integrated to the new model. A proposed model was tested by the technique of structural equation modeling using survey data from the employees in research organization. The results revealed that KMS quality had the strongest impact on the KMS success measured by perceived usefulness and user satisfaction and KMS use. The moderating effect of an individual personality factor, organization-based self esteem is also founded in the research.

The standard wave height measurement system is usually based on spectrum analysis for measuring wave height. The spectrum analysis is complicated because of the FFT, and the FFT is not for real time processing since it requires the saved data segments. In this paper, we carried out the performance evaluation of real-time and simpler wave height measurement system using the kalman filter and inertial sensors. The kalman filter theory is complicated, but its algorithm is simpler than the FFT and the kalman filter is used to estimate wave height by integrating acceleration data. But the accumulated error is occurred when the acceleration data is integrated. We developed the algorithm using the wind wave characteristic to decrease the accumulated error. In this paper, the performance evaluation of the wave height measurement system is carried out for various wind wave conditions. Through the experiments, we verified that it shows high measurement performance with the 3.5% margin of error in wind wave condition.

Feature models are widely used in domain engineering phase of software product lines development to model the common and variable concepts among products. From the feature model, the feature configurations are generated by selecting the features to be included in target product. The feature configuration represents the requirements for the specific product to be implemented. Although there are a lot of researches on how to build and use the feature models and feature configurations, the researches on the formal semantics and reasoning of them are rather inactive. This paper proposes the feature configuration verification approach based on JESS, java-based rule-base system. The Graph Product Line, a standard problem for evaluating the software product line technologies, is used throughout the paper to illustrate this approach. The approach in this paper has advantage of presenting the exact reason causing inconsistency in the feature configuration. In addition, this approach should be easily applied into other software product lines development environments because JESS system can be easily integrated with Java language.

Due to the issues such as omission of data, document based management, maintenance based on measurement data and wire-based network, it is difficult existing maintenance system for railway bridges to act to diverse characteristics of site and environmental changes in real time. With these reasons, there are many constraints in establishing active maintenance strategies for railway bridges. To solve these issues, this study suggests an integrated maintenance business model based on practical utilization and information management based on BIM technology to build a smart maintenance operation system based on ubiquitous computing for railway bridges. To secure its development and practical applications, a quantitative evaluation by questionnaire analysis was performed. Therefore, it is expected that the suggested model will be utilized as a framework model in order to build the smart maintenance operation system from collection of maintenance data to action for railway bridges.
