Ecological and ecosystem database is becoming very necessary to understand origins and relationship between human and nature and also to minimize disturbance caused by human activities. An ecological information portal can play important roles as a computing system to collect knowledge, distributed research findings and separated data from researchers. In this study, we designed and developed ecological information portal service (EcoBank 1.0) for collecting and providing ecological information for diverse classes of stakeholders. To reach the goal, we had reviewed related and comparable ecological database portals to design conceptual structure of EcoBank system including database management framework. Then, we developed some functions of ecosystem analysis for each stake-holders (researchers, general public and policy makers). As a result of this study, we successfully designed of EcoBank system covering the functions of Digital Object Identifier(DOI) publishing and data quality management process. Also, we (1) applied ecological indices for calculating biodiversity by administrative boundary for policy makers, (2) provided statistical information of econature map for general public and distribution characteristics of species for researchers. To make a successful establishment of EcoBank, we have to collect and build up related database and offer various and reliable ecological data consistently. We expect that the successful construction of EcoBank will help not only to accomplish sustainable development goals but also to raise the welfare of ecosystem in Korea.

Due to the development of high speed Internet, a number of Internet users connect online to access web sites. However, there are several procedures required, before you actually find what you were looking for. These procedures are necessary to access Internet services you need, but it is somewhat inconvenient to users. The virtual portal system suggested in this paper is designed to solve such inconvenience. The virtual portal system described in this paper perceives personal computers as web service providing sites, so that it enables users to define customized services by themselves. Also, it makes an exclusive browser as a multiple browser window and provides features to navigate web sites. Therefore, this paper suggests methods for building a pesonalized virtual portal system, where users are able to access web services more conveniently.

Currently, due to the rapid growth of Internet businesses, competition is deepening even in Internet portal markets. In markets where competition is severe, companies can no longer hold a competitive advantage if they cannot deliver their own distinguished, unique images to customers. Therefore, this research planned to establish distinguished positioning strategies by comparing competition relationships among portals which go through building positioning maps and understanding the evaluation attributes and ideal points of internal portal images preferred by segmented customer groups. College students who are heavy users of the Internet were selected as research subjects, and they were led to make an evaluation of the image of Internet portals they mainly use. The analysis result showed that attributes distinguished the most among portals were entertainment, additional service, and convenience while the attribute distinguished the least was customer service. Moreover, understanding of preference and ideal points regarding portals also showed significant differences by segmented groups. Such research results are expected to become meaningful raw data in regards to building distinguished market segment strategies in Internet portal markets.

The market size of Internet portals has been continuously expanded and also competition has been fierce. For the business success of Internet portals, it is necessary to repeatedly perform a renewal project which improves their services, reflecting more improved or changed strategies. Accordingly, this paper proposes an analysis methodology for performing the renewal project more systematically and effectively. The methodology consists of four phases : establishing improved strategies, analyzing customers, deriving service alternatives, and determining services. The methodology places an emphasis on reflecting effectively customers' standpoints (i.e. customers' needs) and service providers' standpoints (i.e. business strategy) upon service improvement. Furthermore, the methodology includes a specific technique for analyzing the feasibility of services. To demonstrate the practical usefulness of the methodology, a real-life case is illustrated.

Portal site is not only providing search engine and e-mail service but also various services including blog, news, shopping, and others. The fact that average number of daily login for Korean portal site Naver is reaching 300 million suggests that many people are using portal sites. With the increase in number of users followed by the diversity in types of services provided by portal sites, the attack is also increasing. Most of studies of password authentication is focused on threat and countermeasures, however, in this study, we analyse the security threats and security requirement of membership, login, password reset first phase, password reset second phase. Also, we measure security score with common criteria of attack potential. As a result, we compare password authentication system of domestic and abroad portal sites.

Consumer Portal is defined as "a combination of hardware and software that enables two-way communication between energy service provider(ESP, like KEPCO) and equipment within the consumer's premises". The portal provides both a physical link(between wires, radio waves, and other media) and a logical link(translating among language-like codes and etiquette-like protocols) between in-building and wide-area access networks. Thus, the consumer portal is an important, open public shared infrastructure in the future vision of energy services. In this paper, we describe a new methodology for local communication and computer network capacity design of consumer portal, and also presents capacity calculation method using a network system limitation factors. By the approach, we can check into the limitations of existing methods, and propose an improved data processing algorithm that can expand the maximum number of the networked end-use devices up to $30{\sim}40$ times. For validation, we applies the proposed methode to our real system design. Our contribution will help electrical power information network design.

In the internet portal industry, the indirect network externality from portal visitors to advertisers and the direct network externality among portal visitors have important implications for anti-trust policies. This paper examines the existence and the magnitude of the direct/indirect network externality in the Korean internet portal industry and measures its effect on the market power of the internet portals. The results show that the direct/indirect network externality is substantive in the industry hence the market share of a portal in the visitors' side has the 'leverage' effect on its market power in the advertisers' side.

Senior Internet users have been tremendously increasing for the past few years in line with increase in the aging populations, and silver portals began to provide some sorts of services to them in Korea. Thus, this paper aimed at identifying Web quality factors of silver portal for its successful adoption, and examining the moderating effects of gender on the relations between Web quality factors and intention to use. Information quality, system quality, service quality and entertainment quality were identified as Web quality factors of silver portal based on the intensive review on prior researches. A total of surveys 525 from the potential users of silver portal, who are over 40 years old, were analyzed to verify our research model. The findings show that information quality, system quality, and entertainment quality are related to intention to use whereas service quality has no relationship with intention to use. It is found that gender moderates the relationship between entertainment quality and intention to use.
