we model communication and computer systems that process interactive and several and several types of background jobs. The scheduling policy in use is to share the processor among all interactive jobs and, at most, one background job of each type at a time according to the process sharing discipline. Background jobs of each type are served on a first-come-first-served basis. Such scheduling policy is called Processor Sharing with Background jobs (PSBJ). In fact, the PSBJ policy is commonly used on many communication and computer systems that allow interactive usage of the systems and process certain jobs in a background mode. In this paper, the stability conditions for the PSBJ policy are given and proved. Since an exact analysis of the policy seems to be very difficult, an approximate analytic model is proposed to obtain the average job sojourn times. The model requires the solution of a set of nonlinear equations, for which an iterative algorithm is given and its convergence is proved. Our results reveal that the model provides excellent estimates of average sojourn times for both interactive and background jobs with a few percent of errors in most of the cases considered.

The housing policy of Korea has been pushed with a focus on the middle-class. This contributed to alleviate the absolute lack problem of housing, but this program for the housing policy of low-income brackets is also true as insufficient attention. Thanks to Bulk supply-oriented housing policy, the rising penetration of housing and living conditions are improving as a whole, but low-income housing problem has been exacerbated by a relative. National and local government will solve the residential housing problem of low-income brackets by expanding welfare programs, but the quality of existing housing issues and the alternative policy are regarded as insufficient. Homeless households in Korea are still nearly 400 million, Housing costs higher than income weighted for buying a home and rent payments of low-income brackets. In this study, I investigated the concept of low-income housing welfare and housing policy changes. This paper is aimed to present the basic data through the investigation and analysis residential status of low-income brackets.

This study aims to identify how performing artists in Korea, who are the target beneficiaries of the Arts Council Korea's Performing Arts Fostering Program, Chang-jak-san-shil(CJSS), would perceive and assess the current state of CJSS and its effects. To do so, this paper has adopted a bottom-up approach as a theoretical lens for policy evaluative analysis. This research engages with qualitative research design by conducting a series of in-depth interviews and FGIs with 28 participants in total. The interview participants consist of CJSS grantees(n=21) and peer-review panels(n=7) based on the intension to enhance objectivity and reliability of the study. Results of the data analysis suggest that the grant program still carries pressing needs to achieve a success as follows: providing post-program support, enhancing transparency of the panel appointment process and the peer review process, reflecting different nature of each arts discipline, and having more open communications with arts professionals. Based on these findings, this paper will provide and discuss about policy implications which can contribute to the performing arts domain at large.

The Stack Resource Policy (SRP) is a real-time synchronization protocol with some distinct properties. One of such properties is early blocking; the execution of a job is delayed instead of being blocked when requesting shared resources. If SRP is used with dynamic priority scheduling such as Earliest Deadline First (EDF), the early blocking requires that a scheduler should select the highest-priority job among the jobs that will not be blocked, incurring runtime overhead. In this paper, we analyze the runtime overhead of EDF scheduling when SRP is used. We find out that the overhead of job search using the conventional implementations of ready queue and job search algorithms becomes serious as the number of jobs increases. To solve this problem, we propose an alternative data structure for the ready queue and an efficient job-search algorithm with O([log$_2n$]) time complexity.

In this paper we analyse the previous (Quality of Services) and QoE(Quality of Experience) methods, and propose a high reliable network system framework and its service forwarding method that is able to provide seamless N-Screen services for proliferating disaster informations. The service satisfaction measurement, i.e., QoE, of contents consumers in N-screens services is going to be important the factor in disaster information proliferation because N-Screen services in the previous methods based on multi devices only focused on information transmission. The proposed system around these services is composed of a disaster information process framework for accepting user's service requirement, push service modules for minimizing the number of packets to be caused when carrying out the push service, and a push service controller for maximizing QoE measures. In order to provide a seamless N-Screen service on diverse screens, such as smartphone, PC, and big screen, we also have Open API(Application Programming Interface) functions. Through these results, we expect to evaluate QoS and QoE quality in the seamless N-Screen service.

The Korean Peninsula is put in a position to carry out a highly strategic game vis-a-vis nK, which is asserting itself as a nuclear power amongst Northeast Asia's complex dynamics. While the international community recognizes nK's possession of nuclear weapons as released secret based on nK's three nuclear tests, shrewd strategic thinking is needed by ROK to secure itself as a non-nuclear nation in order to assume a responsible role to the international community, while simultaneously being ready to respond at all times for nK's military provocations. ROK must continue with its twofold strategy, by firm response to military confrontation with nK and maintaining flexible policy of tolerance in the areas of economy and ethnicity. Various strategic options to overcome nK's nuclear threats have been presented to ROK, whose possession of nuclear weapons have been difficult, and nK's nuclear capability is a real threat to ROK's national security. We must be able to respond to nK's nuclear threats strictly from ROK's national security perspective. This thesis aims to propose a response policy for nK's nuclear capability and nK's nuclear attack based on analysis of such nuclear damage, ROK Government's response posture against nK's nuclear threats, centered around ROK Government's non-military response posture.

This paper studies an economic manufacturing quantity (EMQ) model with two types of failures and planned preventive maintenance of the production facility. One is a type I (major) failure which should be corrected by a failure maintenance and the other is a type H (minor) failure which can be minimally repaired without interrupting the production run. The objective is to determine the lot size and preventive replacement policy minimizing the long-run expected cost per unit time. We consider a control policy with a constant production lot size and preventive maintenance after completing n production runs. It is assumed that both preventive and failure maintenance times are random and the demand arriving during a stock-out period is lost. An expression for the expected cost per unit time is obtained in the general case. A special case is discussed and numerical results are provided.

The Government has recently planned to improve the medical insurance drug price systems by removing the drug margin occurring from the difference between the official and purchasing prices, and instead by setting prices through adding drug administration casts calculated to the purchasing costs. In the circumstances, the major policy and implementing issues are how to define the drug administrance cost and how to calculate them. This study attempts to provide for the conceptional and operational definitions and thereby develop a costing model for the cost. The relationship between the current systems of medical services costs and prices were reviewed to define the concept of the costs. The study defined the costs from the narrow and wide prospective of meaning, and three operational definitions were provided. The costing model was developed applying the departmental costing principles. Finally, several prerequisites that have to be considered for the implementation of the definition and the model from the practical viewpoint.

In this paper, a threshold policy is considered for the Markovian queueing system with server vacations. The threshold policy considered in this paper has the following form: "when the number of customers present in the system increases to N, the server is turned on and serves customers until the system becomes empty". In this paper, we show how the finite capacity or finite population queueing system under a threshold policy can be modeled by the stochastic Petri net. The performance evaluation of the model is carried out using the software called "SPNP". Some examples are also presented in which it is shown that how the optimal threshold policies can be obtained under a linear cost structure.
