Purpose This study aims to introduce a Smart-Platform for solving numerous problems in urban cities and improving citizens' convenience. This Smart-Platform is achieved by studying the City Data Hub technology to build and spread a Smart City Data Hub . Design/methodology/approach In this study, we analyzed the functions in detail and interlocking flows specific to the published City Data Hub module and designed a Smart-Platform with additional UI-based functions to improve users' convenience based on our previous experience. Findings The City Data Hub will provide a modular data hub platform functionality for application by different stakeholders. However, further research on detailed functionality and experience in interworking legacy systems will be required to apply the platform realistically. Therefore, we judged that this Smart-Platform, which supplements the City Data Hub with additional functions, would be useful for utilizing the City Data Hub in the future. Through the demonstration of the platform designed, it is also necessary to explore the direction of continuous development for the future.

Infrastructure engineering is a field that supports construction (assembly) as a representative industry that creates high added value and jobs by combining science and technology with knowledge, though its importance is underestimated. According to a report from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Korea), the value-added rate (65.3%) of the engineering industry and the employment inducement coefficient (14 employees per billion won) are three times higher than in manufacturing. In particular,the forward value chain (such as project management and basic design) accounts for less than 10~15% of the total project cost but determines the overall price and quality of the infrastructure facilities. In this study, a work break-down system, design support module and database development method for road design projects for design platform development is presented. Based on the presented development method, a cloud-based infrastructure design platform's prototype is developed. The developed infrastructure engineering platform is expected to provide a web-based design work environment without time/space restrictions and greatly contribute to winning overseas business orders and securing competitiveness.

We have developed an information management tool for the EDISON (EDucation-research Integration through Simulation On the Net) open platform. EDISON is, at present, a web-based simulation service for education and research in five computational areas, namely, nanophysics, fluid dynamics, chemistry, structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design. The EDISON open platform consists of three tiers: EDISON application framework, EDISON middleware, and EDISON infra-resources. The platform provides web portals for education and research in areas such as computational fluid dynamics, computational chemistry, computational nanophysics, computational structural dynamics, and computer aided optimal design along with user service. The main purpose of this research is to test the behavior of the release version of the EDISON Open-Platform under normal operating conditions. This management tool has been implemented using the RESTful API designed in EDISON middleware. The intention is to check co-operation between the middleware and the infrastructure. Suggested tools include User management, Simulation and Job management, and Simulation software (i.e., solver) testing. Finally, it is considered meaningful to develop a management tool that is not supported in other web-based online simulation services.

The Norwegian architect, Sverre Fehn who was born in 1924 and died in 2009 designed various buildings in his country. Since he studied architecture, he had been interested in the domestic/local architectural environment as well as international modern movement such as CIAM. Pavilion of the Nordic Nations designed in 1960s gave him world reputation for the peculiar design characteristic in which Scandinavian tradition and modern design were integrated. Fehn introduced his unique architectural philosophy that is called 'Platform Architecture'. This concept is based on the Fehn's long-term interest in the philosophy of Genius Loci and place-specificity. It consists of three theoretical elements: Tectonic of Place, Horizontality of Space and Visual-Perception by Light. This paper focuses on three case projects: Villa Busk in 1990, Norwegian Glacier Museum in 1991, Aukrust Museum in 1993. It is aimed to discover differences as well as similarities of the projects, and ultimately to summarize the cases under the light of 'Platform Architecture'. As a conclusion, it is found that each case project has unique spatializing method to organize the given place and program by 'Platform' architectural design. 'Platform Architecture' is still relevant in the contemporary architecture and interior design because of its deep consideration on place, environment and human.

Stair climbing is one of critical issues for field robots to widen applicable areas. This paper presents optimal design on kinematic parameters of a new robotic platform for stair climbing. The robotic platform climbs various stairs by body-flip locomotion with caterpillar type main platform. Kinematic parameters such as platform length, platform height, and caterpillar rotation speed are optimized to maximize stair-climbing stability. Three types of stairs are used to simulate typical user conditions. The optimal design process is conducted based on Taguchi methodology, and resulting parameters with optimized objective function are presented. In near future, a prototype is assembled for real environment testing.

The domestic fashion industry is not able to exceed the level of fashion that exists in advanced countries due to the relatively weak design competitiveness and the differentiated capability of product development. In order for the domestic fashion industry to become a growth industry that is valued in the world market of infinite competition, a step-by-step support system that can demonstrate and maintain the creative ability of designers is needed. Therefore, this study proposes a template - based 3D virtual fashion technology and a digital fashion platform based on it. The proposed template - based 3D virtual fashion technology is designed to clearly communicate the intention of designers and to be able to instantaneously view the results, thereby reducing the time and cost of producing prototypes. In addition, the digital fashion platform based on the template is designed as a collaborative platform based on idea sharing, which dramatically improves the process of confirming the prototype and initiating the product planning and manufacturing stages. This new technology can contributes to the formation of a business environment and a new area within the existing fashion industry and can be utilized for the development of the fashion industry in the future.

Offshore platforms in seismically active areas must be designed to survive in the face of intense earthquakes without a global structural collapse. This paper scrutinizes the seismic performance of a newly designed and established jacket type offshore platform situated in the entrance of the Gulf of Suez region based on the API-RP2A normalized response spectra during seismic events. A nonlinear finite element model of a typical jacket type offshore platform is constructed taking into consideration the effect of structure-soil-interaction. Soil properties at the site were manipulated to generate the pile lateral soil properties in the form of load deflection curves, based on API-RP2A recommendations. Dynamic characteristics of the offshore platform, the response function, output power spectral density and transfer functions for different elements of the platform are discussed. The joints deflection and acceleration responses demands are presented. It is generally concluded that consideration of the interaction between structure, piles and soil leads to higher deflections and less stresses in platform elements due to soil elasticity, nonlinearity, and damping and leads to a more realistic platform design. The earthquake-based analysis for offshore platform structure is essential for the safe design and operation of offshore platforms.

In this study, the response characteristics of two semi-submersible platforms with an IEA 15 MW reference wind turbine are compared. The nacelle acceleration, platform motion and generator power of FOWT applying a VolturnUS-S platform developed by the University of Maine and PentaSemi platform developed by the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering are compared in operational conditions. Numerical simulations are performed based on the marine environmental conditions of the U.S east coast. In the FOWT to which the PentaSemi platform is applied, the nacelle acceleration and platform pitch angle are rather high, but the results of both platforms satisfied the design criteria at all operating wind speeds. The platform yaw angle of PentaSemi platform to which a yaw control catenary mooring system is applied is significantly smaller than the platform yaw angle of VolturnUS-S. Also, despite the relatively large nacelle acceleration and platform pitch angle, the generator power is higher on the PentaSemi platform. This means that the generator power dominates the control system rather than the nacelle and platform motion.

ISO 15926 is an international standard for the integration and sharing of plant lifecycle data. Plant 3D design data typically consist of logical configuration, equipment specifications and ports, and 3D shape data. This paper presents the method for the ISO 15926-based integration of plant 3D design data. For this, reference data (class, attribute, and template) of ISO 15926 were extended to describe plant 3D design data. In addition to the data model extension, a plant design information integration platform which reads plant 3D design data in ISO 15926 and displays 3D design information was developed. Finally, the prototype platform is verified through the experiment of loading and retrieving plant 3D design data in ISO 15926 with the platform.
