There are plenty of optimization models for the signal-system of a single intersection and area traffic. Some of those models are adopted for the real traffic signal control system. The simulators for a single crossroad have been developed, so that we could evaluate optimization models and traffic control systems. However, the simulators for the area traffic are still being developed. Therefore, there are many limitations in the analysis and evaluation for area traffic control system. The area traffic is consisted of several intersections which are very complicated and many traffic strategies are adopted for the control system. This paper features an effective area traffic control system based on the High Lever Architecture(HLA). In this paper, we discuss the design of HLA-based area traffic control simulation. We describe technical motivations for the HLA, the key elements of the architecture and how they are minimum and essential to the goal of reuse and interoperability. A distributed simulation with HLA/RTI provides stable and satisfactory experimental results. Moreover, the prototype traffic control system provides reliable accomplishment compared to the NETSIM and TRANSYT-7F models.

This paper deals with minimizing layout area of FPGA design. FPGAs are becoming increasingly important in the design of ASICs since they provide both large scale integration and user-programmability. This paper describes a method to obtain tight bound on the worst-case increase in area when drivers are introduced along many long wires in a layout. The area occupied by minimum-area embedding for a circuit can depend on the aspect ratio of the bounding rectangle of the layout. This paper presents a separator-based area-optimal embeddings for FPGA graphs in rectangles of several aspect ratios which solves the longest path problem in the constraint graph.

This paper suggests the optimal blood distribution center algorithm that satisfies the minimum total transportation cost and within the allowable distribution time $T^*$. Zhang and Yang proposes shifting the location of each point that has less than the average distance of two maximum distance points from each point. But they cannot decide the correct facility location because they miscompute the shortest distance. This algorithm computes the shortest distance $l_{ij}$ from one area to another areas. Then we select the $v_i$ area to thecandidate distribution center location such that $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ and the $v_i$ such that $l_{ij}-L^*$ area that locates in ($v_i,v_k$) and ($v_j,v_l$) from $P_{ij}=v_i,v_k,{\cdots},v_l,v_j$ path and satisfies the $_{max}l_{ij}{\leq}L^*$ condition. Finally, we decide the candidate distribution area that has minimum transportation cost to optimal distribution area.

Climatic zone in building code is an administrative district classification reflecting regional climatic characteristics. Use of Degree-Days is a fundamental method that can be used in various building design codes, analysis of building energy performance, and establishment of minimum thermal transmittance of building envelopes. Many foreign countries, such as the USA, the EU, Australia, Italy, India, China, etc., have already adapted climatic zone classification with degree-days, precipitation or amount of water vapor based on the characteristics of their own country's climate. In Korea, however, the minimum requirements for regional thermal transmittance are classified separately for the Jungbu area, Nambu area and Jeju Island with no definite criterion. In this study, degree-days of 255 Korean cities were used for climatic zone classification. Outdoor dry-bulb temperature data from the Korea Meteorological Administration for 1981~2010 was used to calculate degree-days. ArcGIS and the calculated degree-days were utilized to analyze and visualize climatic zone classification. As a result, depending on the distribution and distinctive differences in degree-days, four climatic zones were derived : 1) Central area, 2) Mountain area of Gyeonggi and Gangwon provinces, 3) Southern area, and 4) Jeju Island. The climatic zones were suggested per administrative district for easy public understanding and utilization.

This study examines the preliminary license and approval facilitation standards for improvements in quality for childcare centers focusing on the number of children, building space standards, facilities and equipment, and childcare program. Data from 48 caese was collected from childcare centers nationwide in Korea through a questionnaire and building plan. The first step for starting care licensing is to work out the ages and numbers of children within four or five age ranges. The second step is to work out the number of children as small, medium, or large considering staff to child ratios and building size. The Nnext step is to make a choice about childcare service quality classification as minimum, fair, or good, considering space requirements per child for the building, the classroom and the outdoor playground. The next step is to make a choice of space organization relating to service programs, considering the sleeping and eating area, indoor play area, toilet & washing facilities, classroom layouts such as cluster type, double zone type, single zone type, and others. Also, each room and entrance, office, kitchen, storage, laundry, teacher's area, and chilldren's area, need to be checked for space requirements and performances. The last step is to arrange the childcare program with the building and site plan. In conclusion childcare service quality will get better by upgrading of license regulation especially in minimum space requirements per child, corresponding with an increase in GNP and housing area per person. This is needed for childcare licensing in order to determine the quality level of childcare service.

This study presents quantitative evaluation standards for they mobility test, conducted in the process of a slacks fit test. This study quantified the subjects' evaluation on the wearability of slacks to provide objective qualitative evaluation methods for existing mobility tests. The subjects were women of standard bodytype between the ages of 18 and 24 wearing slacks designed to test their mobility based on differences in ease in waist girth, hip girth, crotch length and knee length. A qualitative evaluation tested the wearability of slacks. Clothing pressure and gap area between the body and slacks were measured based on a quantitative evaluation. The clothing pressure and the gap area between the body and slacks (which reflect the results of the wearability test) were presented in this study as quantitative evaluation standards. Clothing pressure tended to increase as the ease of slacks decreased; however, clothing pressure standards, that induce discomfort, differed by body parts. The hip, crotch, and knee area were relatively less sensitive despite the waist and the abdominal area sensitivity to clothing pressure. This study suggests the minimum ease for the appropriate wearing comfort of slacks by region and motion as standards for the quantitative evaluation of mobility tests. These was reset in accordance to the limits of clothing pressure when the minimum ease was considered as wearable but exceeded the clothing pressure limits.

Shorelines should be extracted with consistency because they are the reference for determining the shape of a country. Even in the same area, inconsistent minimum vertex intervals cause inconsistencies in the coastline length, making it difficult to acquire reliable primary data for national policy decisions. As the shoreline length cannot be calculated consistently for shorelines produced by determining the arbitrary distance between points below 1m, a methodology to calculate consistent shoreline length using the minimum vertex interval is proposed herein. To compare our results with the shoreline length published by KHOA(Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency) and analyze the change in shoreline length according to the minimum vertex interval, target sites was selected and the grid overlap of the shoreline was determined. Based on the comparison results, minimum grid sizes and the minimum vertex interval can be determined by deriving a polynomial function that estimates minimum grid sizes for determining consistent shoreline lengths. By comparing public shoreline lengths with generalized shoreline lengths using various grid sizes and by analyzing the characteristics of the shoreline according to vertex intervals, the minimum vertex intervals required to achieve consistent shoreline lengths could be estimated. We suggest that the minimum vertex interval methodology by quantitative evaluation of the determined grid size may be useful in calculating consistent shoreline lengths. The proposed method by minimum vertex interval determination can help derive consistent shoreline lengths and increase the reliability of national shorelines.

This study examines the climatological variability of urban area and the increase of temperature by urbanization using the observed data of Busan and Mokpo during the last 100 years (1910~2010). The results are as follows. First, the maximum temperature in Busan during the last 100 years has increased by $1.5^{\circ}C$ while average temperature and the minimum temperature have increased by $1.6^{\circ}C$ and $2^{\circ}C$. In Mokpo, the maximum temperature and average temperature have increased by $1^{\circ}C$ and the minimum temperature has increased by $0.8^{\circ}C$. The increase of urban temperature appeared to be higher in Busan than in Mokpo by $0.5^{\circ}C{\sim}1.2^{\circ}C$. Second, as for the change in temperature before and after urbanization, the maximum temperature, average temperature and the minimum temperature during last 50 years compared to the previous 50 years have increased about $1.5^{\circ}C$, $1.6^{\circ}C$ and $2.1^{\circ}C$, however, the predicted temperature after removing urbanization effect was estimated to be increased by $1^{\circ}C$. The proportion that urbanization takes on the overall increase of temperature appeared to be 33% at the maximum temperature, 37.5% at average temperature and 52.3% at the minimum temperature, thus the proportion of urbanization appeared to be maximized at the minimum temperature.

This paper is on the enhancement of our heuristics for Grade Of Services Steiner Minimum Tree (GOSST) problem that can apply to the design of communication networks offering manifold grade of services in multimedia communication area. GOSST problem known as one of NP-Hard problems asks for a network topology meeting the G-Condition with minimum construction cost. In our prior researches, we proposed some heuristics for the problem. In this paper, we suggest a strategy of G-Condition scrutiny sequence to fortify our previous heuristics. In the experiment results, the ameliorated achieves 71.9% economy of execution times, 28.9% of required Steiner points and 1.1% of network construction costs.
