In response to insurmountable pressure for a broad distribution of political power between the central government and local governments, the Korean Government pushes for the establishment of the local port authority as the optimum choice to achieve its goal. Starting with the Pusan and Incheon ports, the local port authority system is expected to setout the dramatic change in port management system throughout the Korean ports. However, this paper points out that the port reform choice should take into account the specific features of the society and country and some basic questions should be clearly answered beforehand. The fundamental questions are: whether institutional reform will markedly improve the ports managerial and operational efficiencies? and what will be the benefits and costs, compared to those of not changing? Without rigorous and comprehensive analysis on these issues in the institution transition, haphazard port reform will have the possibility to increase port users costs and disrupt the efficient port services. Experiences around the world clearly show that the indiscriminate copy of port reform found in other countries may be neither feasible nor practical presently in Korea. They also indicate that the port reform should be made on a gradual basis with full control of the pace.

Korean port developments have been mostly made by the central government. With the introduction of the Port Authority system, however, roles and function assignments of the central government in port development have been in change and the Port Authority has to find a solution for inducement of private investment in port development. This paper has examined the current legal system of port developments and then sought the way for inducement of private capital to improve specialty and efficiency of harbor facilities management and development under Port Authority. As the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and fisheries(MMAF) has two types of legal system for inducement of private investment on port developments, the Port Authorities can also have two types of private finance. Private finances by the Port Authorities has some more critical advantages than the one by the central government. It is also required to change the the administrative permissions and concession agreements which MMAF conveyed to private participants in port developments into the concession agreements between Port Authorities and private participants.

When comparing the port management type between the both countries, there are some differences at some aspects. And also Korea is to move forward a hub port and logistics center in Northeast Asia while Japan is to pursue providing the port logistics service necessary for the Japanese economy. Major findings and implications are as follows. First, Port authority system should be extended to Gwangyang and Pyeongtaek port step by step. Second, any port which did not introducing a port authority system should enhance cooperating with its own local administration. Third, a port marketing strategy must be established and implemented by a port authority.

This paper deals with the problem of port administration and management of the port of Pusan. As the port of Pusan has been administrated by central government, Efficiency of port is worse than other foreign ports. These include the time-lagged port development, the inconsistent port planning with city planning, the insufficient long-term port development planning, the various operating authorities and the lack of port sales activities etc. To solve the above-mentioned problems, other superior ports are compared. The port Authority is proposed. It takes part in the long term port planning and the planning of financial provision. It designates and supervises the port manager, measures the result of port management and arranges the proposals. The port ownership transfer from Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries to Pusan Metropolitan. The port management is to be taken by the port authority and the port operation is to be performed by private companies. As a result, it is expected that port productivity increases and marketing power strengthens.

It is understood that carriers evaluate several features of ports when fixing the T/S port. Those features can be enumerated as Geographic condition of port, Service network with overseas ports, Level of port productivity, Port infrastructure, Port services level, Port Authority's Policy direction mand Cost competitiveness. The objectives of this study are to: 1) determine if those factors could affect the T/S competitiveness of the port; and 2) to evaluate how Busan port conforms to those determinants factors in such extent. According to results of the analysis after surveying National global carrier, Intra-Asia carriers, Global overseas carriers, Terminal operators, and Busan Port Authority known to be highly influential samples, all factors were proven to be factors affecting the T/S competitiveness of the port. Meanwhile, in the analysis through AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) methodology about the order of weight among those factors, Cost competitiveness was answered as the most important factor. On the other hand, in the analysis to find the situation if Busan port conforms to those factors, Busan port was proven to satisfy those conditions to a moderate extent. In the analysis about the order of strength among those factors, Busan port was answered to have the highest strength in the geographic condition. However, it showed the bottom level of strength in the Cost competitiveness which was answered as the most important factor among samples for determining the T/S competitiveness of the port. This indicates that Government and Port Authority of Busan have to concentrate policy capabilities on the improvement of cost competitiveness of Busan port to enhance the T/S competitiveness. In this paper, four policy recommendations are given : Integration of Busan port operation into New port, Combining multiple operators into one or a few, Attracting Global mega carriers as the New port terminal operators, and Continuous Infrastructure expansion.

This paper proposes the semaphore authority management (SAM) controller to optimize the dual-port SDRAM (DPSDRAM) in the mobile multimedia systems. Recently, the DPSDRAM with a shared bank enabling the exchange of data between two processors at high speed has been developed for mobile multimedia systems based on dual-processors. However, the latency of DPSDRAM caused by the semaphore for preventing the access contention at the shared bank slows down the data transfer rate and reduces the memory bandwidth. The methodology of SAM increases the data transfer rate by minimizing the semaphore latency. The SAM prevents the latency of reading the semaphore register of DPSDRAM, and reduces the latency of waiting for the authority of the shared bank to be changed. It also reduces the number of authority requests and the number of times authority changes. The experimental results using a 1 Gb DPSDRAM (OneDRAM) with the SAM controllers at 66 MHz show 1.6 times improvement of the data transfer rate between two processors compared with the traditional controller. In addition, the SAM shows bandwidth enhancement of up to 38% for port A and 31% for port B compared with the traditional controller.

The intensification of the competition among container terminals has led to important affect such as, decision making or aggressive intervention of customers for terminal operation. Therefore, in case of developed ports, the large transition of port operation is composed of the press of terminal customer than decision making of terminal manager. Overall port tariffs for using terminal is made out by the conference of terminal customers than the supreme headquarters of terminal operation, and the related investment of terminal has been made according to requisition or proposal of customers. Therefore, among decision making problems that shippers, shipping companies, and freight forwarder among decision making problems that shippers, shipping companies, and freight forwarder face, the choice of the container terminal is one of the most important problems. So, the decision making of the users seems to have a significant impact on the competitive power of container terminals. The main objective of this study is to design port marketing strategy for strengthening the competitive power of container terminals. The results of this study were found as follows: Firstly, port authority should establish user-oriented operation policy of terminal as the means of activating the opinion window, using terminal monitoring system(TMS). Secondly, terminal planning and development of government should be made to minimize the lead time, to induce the civil capital and to utilize the economies of scale. Thirdly, port authority needs to endeavor to analyze the information of competing foreign terminals as well to promote the concentrated marketing for the terminal on the users, to train the expert and to develop the new port charge system. Fourthly, to improve the competitive power of the container terminal, Port Authority should optimize the subsystems related to port marketing, far more these systems should be joined organically to work effectively. Finally, port authority system should be introduced, Namely, port should have the enterprise inclination as well s the public inclination.

In the midst of worldwide response to climate change, the advanced ports including LA/LB(Los Angeles/Long Beach) has started to reduce carbon emission from port area which has not been targets of interests in the worldwide cooperation. Recently, the Port of Busan has started to reduce carbon emission from the port area under the Green Port Strategy in Korea. However, the low-carbon port management increases the cost of port management and negatively impacts the port competitiveness in the short term. Therefore, the Busan Port Authority is carrying out the low-carbon projects directly and has not transfer the cost to the port users, such as shipowers, cargo owners and terminal operators. However, the Port Authority of LA/LB has transferred the cost at low-carbon port management to customers of port. In this study, comparative analysis on cost of low-carbon port management at Busan and LA/LB is carried out for sustainable port management.

A data warehouse is not an operational database, only a database for decision support. It is defied as "a subject-oriented, integrated, time-variant and non-volatile collection of data". It is an indispensable element of successful information processing technology. This study is designed to suggest a better way to use database for efficient Port Authority's management. It is expected to play a significant role in introducing a data warehouse dedicated to port industry. Data warehouses are to serve as an opportunity to be fully exploited as a strategic technology for ports. Seven subject areas supporting ideas of researchers constitute this study.
