The study of the optimization of operating policy of AGV system, which is used in many factory automation environments has been proceeded by many researchers. The major operating policy of AGV system consists of routing and scheduling policy. AGV routing is composed with collision avoidance and minimal cost path find algorithm. To allocate jobs to the AGV system, AGV scheduling has to include AGV selection rules, parking rules, and recharging rules. Also in these rules, the key time parameters such as processing time of the device, loading/unloading time and charging time should be considered. In this research, we compare and analyze several operating policies of multiple loop-multiple AGV system by making a computer model and simulating it to present an appropriate operating policy.

As the demand for high-performance semiconductors, such as chips for artificial intelligence and high-bandwidth memory devices, increases along with the limitations of ultrafine processing technology in the semiconductor in-line process, advanced packaging becomes an increasingly important breakthrough technology for further improving semiconductor performance. Major countries, including Korea, the United States, Taiwan, and China, and large companies are strengthening their technological industry capabilities through the development of advanced packaging technology and policy support. Nevertheless, Korea has a lower level of development of related technologies by approximately 66% compared with the most advanced countries. Therefore, we aim to discover the needs for an advanced packaging research and development (R&D) policy through written expert interviews and importance satisfaction analysis. As a result, various implications for R&D policy directions are suggested to strengthen the technological capabilities and R&D ecosystem of the Korean advanced packaging technology.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the dynamic characteristics of innovation sources such as scientific knowledges, processing technologies and user's needs in advanced metals technology. The journal articles data of four advanced materials are analyzed; amorphous metals, superplastic materials, shape memory alloys and aluminum-lithium alloy. Some regularities are found from the analysis of the four materials. The innovation proceeds through close interactions among the innovation sources. As the innovation proceeds, the relative importance of each source changes: scientific knowledge initiates the innovation and becomes the most important source in the first phase, then the processing technologies increase importance in the second phase, and then scientific knowledge, again, becomes the leading factor of innovation. Scientific knowledge and processing technology take turns leading the innovation. The impacts of users' needs to the innovation increase more and more as innovation proceeds. The results of analysis imply to the policy makers that emphasis of policy, and therefore the allocation of sources for innovation, should vary along the phases in the life cycle of advanced metals technology.

In this paper, we propose security management architecture that manages efficiently security systems that are produced by different companies and programmable middleware that can reduce the load of management traffic. The proposed architecture applies programmable networks technology to policy based network management (PBNM). The proposed architecture manages and cooperates various security systems using security policy. Also, the programmable middleware provides convenience of management and reduces the overhead of a policy server by translating security policy into execution command. In addition, using programmable middleware, an administrator can manage various security systems that are produced by different companies. We showed that the programmable middleware could reduce the load of management traffic by comparing processing time for enforcing and transferring of policies/messages between the proposed architecture and PBNM architecture.

In Nigeria, Igbemo-Ekiti is synonymous with a popular local rice which, nevertheless, is characterized with contaminations. Efforts of Government through the Agricultural Development Project (ADP) to improve rice quality in the state, have failed to yield the desired results. This study, therefore, reports the peculiar factors influencing the processing of rice in Igbemo-a major local producing town in Ekiti State, Nigeria. 72 respondents were interviewed, which was a census of the rice processors in 21 residential quarters of the town. Using the multiple linear regression models for analysis, the study discovered that; (i) status of the processors, (ii) expenditure on processing (iii) training acquired before commencing work, and (iv) storage facilities are crucial factors impacting rice processing activities in the town. The paper canvasses for policy measures based on research findings.

Base on the survey and financial statement on fish-paste processing company, this study aimed to estimate management efficiencies of fish-paste processing management using a data envelopment-analysis (DEA), In-depth interview and to find out their determinants. Model results show that the estimated mean management efficiencies obtained for the VRS and CRS DEA are 83.7% and 89.1%. In-depth interview results also show that efficiencies caused by scale of technical matter was greater than efficiencies caused by the scale of the company. Thus it implies that technical development is essential for achieving high-efficiency of fish-paste processing company more than expanding the size of company.
