  • Purpose - This study reviews the past studies that have researched Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) as a well-known supply chain collaboration program. The main goals of this study are to figure out how VMI brings significant benefits to the supply chain system and suggest additional areas that future studies would address to discover the true nature of VMI. Research design, data, methodology - This study conducts literature reviews on numerous studies that have researched VMI. The past studies are classified in terms of several main issues that have been commonly addressed by many researchers. This study also identifies three key collaborative features of VMI, which possibly explain why VMI improves the supply chain performance. Results - This study finds out that most past studies focused on a limited research issues about VMI. Many researchers have considered integrated decision making and information sharing to be key features that enables VMI to improve the supply chain performance. Conclusions - Based on the findings from the literature review, this study suggests that future studies on VMI take account of new research issues and pay attention to cost payment that researchers have rarely addressed.

  • Anoxygenic photosynthesis, performed primarily by anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB), has been supposed to arise on Earth more than 3 billion years ago. The long established APB are distributed in almost every corner where light can reach. However, the relationship between APB phylogeny and source environments has been largely unexplored. Here we retrieved the pufM sequences and related source information of 89 pufM containing species from the public database. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that horizontal gene transfer (HGT) most likely occurred within 11 out of a total 21 pufM subgroups, not only among species within the same class but also among species of different phyla or subphyla. A clear source environment feature related phylogenetic distribution pattern was observed, with all species from oxic habitats and those from anoxic habitats clustering into independent subgroups, respectively. HGT among ancient APB and subsequent long term evolution and adaptation to separated niches may have contributed to the coupling of environment and pufM phylogeny.

  • 회의용 키분배 시스템은 회의용 키를 생성하여 키를 회의에 참석하고 있는 사람에게만 전달하여 서로간에 안전하게 통신하도록 한다. 본 논문에서는 Block Design의 한 분류인 symmetric balanced incomplete block design(SBIBD)를 적용한 효율적인 회의용 키분배시스템을 제안한다. 회의용 키를 생성하고 개인식별 정보를 근거로 하여 인증을 수행하는 통신 프로토콜이 설계된다. 제안된 프로토콜은 회의용 키를 생성하는 메시지의 복잡도를 최소화시키는데, SBIBD의 특별한 분류에서는 참석자의 수 v에 따라 메시지 복잡도는 O(v√v)가 된다. 보안시스템의 구현에서 중요한 요소인 프로토콜의 안전성은 factoring과 discrete logarithm을 계산할 정도로 난해하여 충분히 보장됨을 증명할 수 있다.

  • This paper presents the ASVO (Automation-considered SVO) Logic that can be used for verifying authentication and key distribution protocols. The ASVO logic was designed for automatic verification, in a way to modify the SVO logic, one of the most famous authentication logics. The ASVO logic is syntactically and semantically sound, and requires relatively simple verification steps. Also we implemented the Isabelle/ASVO system which supports semi-automated verification, by using the Isabelle/Isar system.

  • 특성 사용자 그룹에게만 음성과 영상 데이터를 전송할 수 있는 통신 메커니즘을 가진 멀티캐스트는 유니캐스트와 비교해서 통신 링크의 수가 상당히 많으므로 부당한 공격자로부터 신분위장 서비스 부인 공격과 재전송 공격 부인, 트래픽 관찰 공격을 받기가 쉽다. 그러므로 본논문에서는 현재 멀티캐스트 통신을 위해서 제안 및 사용되고 있는 여러 가지 멀티캐스트 라우팅 프로토콜 중에서 보다 효율적인 보안 체계를 구성할 수 있는 공유 트리를 기반으로 하는 코어 기반 트리(CBT: Core Based Tree)를 이용하여 3개로 구성된 그룹키 KEK TEK을 획득함으로서 안전한 멀티캐스트 통신이 가능한 키 분배 프로토콜을 설계하였다 그리고 패트리넷을 이용하여 안전성을 검증하였다.

  • Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine what expectations and mediating factors are needed as variables necessary for the intention to use logistics hollowing out, and at the same time, what factors strengthen medical SCM competitiveness. In order to develop competitive competency variables for medical institutions that affect the intention to use logistics cavitation, we would like to examine the key success factors applying AHP model analysis. Design/methodology/approach For AMOS analysis, we conducted an online survey of four universities and analyzed 212 samples. The analysis method used SPSS, and AMOS. We proposed several factors categorized as reliability, SCM advance, and scalability. Findings The results showed that all proposed variables (competitive competencies for HSCM, expected performance) had a significant impact on intention of physical distribution cooperation. According to the measurement methods proposed in this study, key success factors for strengthening the capacity of HSCM can increase the need for physical distribution cooperation through expected performance.

  • The thermal hydraulic performances of Steam Generator (SG) under both steady and transient operation conditions are of great importance for the safety and economy in nuclear power plants. In this paper, based on our self-developed SG thermal hydraulic analysis code STAF (Steam-generator Thermalhydraulic Analysis code based on Fluent), an improved new version STAF-CT (fully Coupling and Transient) is developed and introduced. Compared with original STAF, the new version code STAF-CT has two main functional improvements including "Transient" and "Fully Three Dimensional Coupling" features. In STAF-CT, a three dimensional energy transferring module is established which can achieve energy exchange computing function at the corresponding position between two sides of SG. The STAF-CT is validated against the international benchmark experiment data and the results show great agreement. Then the U-shaped SG in AP1000 nuclear power plant is modeled and simulated using STAF-CT. The results show that three dimensional flow fields in the primary side make significant effect on the energy source distribution between two sides. The development of code STAF-CT in this paper can provide an effective method for further SG high fidelity research in the nuclear reactor system.

  • Existing symmetric cryptography-based solutions against pollution attacks for network coding systems suffer various drawbacks, such as highly complicated key distribution and vulnerable security against collusion. This letter presents a novel homomorphic subspace message authentication code (MAC) scheme that can thwart pollution attacks in an efficient way. The basic idea is to exploit the combination of the symmetric cryptography and linear subspace properties of network coding. The proposed scheme can tolerate the compromise of up to r-1 intermediate nodes when r source keys are used. Compared to previous MAC solutions, less secret keys are needed for the source and only one secret key is distributed to each intermediate node.

  • An enhanced irregular repetition slotted ALOHA (IRSA) protocol is proposed by using polarization characteristic of satellite link and MIMO detection in low earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks, which is dubbed polarized MIMO IRSA (PM-IRSA). In the proposed scheme, one or two packets in one slot can be decoded by employing polarized MIMO detection, and more than two collided packets in multiple slots which can construct the virtual MIMO model can be decoded by the MIMO detection algorithm. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed with the density evolution (DE) approach and the degree distribution is optimized to maximize the system throughput by using a differential evolution. Numerical results certify our analysis and show that the normalized throughput of the proposed PM-IRSA can achieve 1.89 bits/symbol.
