In this paper a methodology is developed to prioritize replacement of water distribution pipes according to the economical efficiency of replacement and assess the long-term effects of water main replacement policies on water distribution systems. The methodology is implemented with MATLAB to develop a computer algorithm which is used to apply the methodology to a case study water distribution system. A pipe break prediction model is used to estimate future costs of pipe repair and replacement, and the economically optimal replacement time of a pipe is estimated by obtaining the time at which the present worth of the total costs of repair and replacement is minimum. The equation for estimating the present worth of the total cost is modified to reflect the fact that a pipe can be replaced in between of failure events. The results of the analyses show that about 9.5% of the pipes in the case study system is required to be replaced within the planning horizon. Analyses of the yearly pipe replacement requirements for the case study system are provided along with the compositions of the replacement. The effects of water main replacement policies, for which yearly replacement length scenario and yearly replacement budget scenario are used, during a planning horizon are simulated in terms of the predicted number of pipe failures and the saved repair costs.

Recently, in FMS composing of various automatic equipments, the machines with lower operating costs, and with higher operating costs and replacement costs resulting from deterioration have been appearing successively as a result of rapidly advances in technology. "Control Limit Policy" [1] by using Markov decision policy, a kind of optimal economic replacement decision, well reflects and represents this environment. In this paper, it is reviewed that the decision method of the forecasted replacement alternatives in planning horizon under technological advances is derived. The proposed method is applied to a numerical example and some characteristics are examined by sensitivity. It is clarified that the method is relatively insensitive to changes of parameters at the present decision. decision.

Buildings that are more than 10 years old generally have considerable repair and replacement costs due to the rapid deterioration of their systems. For public buildings in particular, which have national and social significance, considerable effort is required not only to ensure a long life cycle and safety but also to minimize the overall public expense. Along with increasing repair and replacement requirements, however, there have been problems related to the establishment of an accurate facility management budget. To address these concerns, a repair and replacement cost management system was constructed. This system manages both invested maintenance and forecast costs to establish a reasonable repair and replacement planning process and budget. The effectiveness of the system was verified through a pilot test targeting one of public Corporation (K).

This paper proposes a new approach to technology valuation, the market-replacement cost approach which integrates the cost-based approach and market-based approach. The proposed approach estimates the market-replacement cost of a target technology using R&D costs of similar R&D projects previously conducted. Similar R&D projects are extracted from project database based on document similarity between project proposals and technology description of the target technology. R&D costs of similar R&D projects are adjusted by mirroring the rate of technological obsolescence and inflation. Market-replacement cost of the technology is then derived by calculating the weighted average of adjusted costs and similarity values of similar R&D projects. A case of "Prevention method and system for the diffusion of mobile malicious code" is presented to illustrate the proposed approach.

Objective : This study is a retrospective cost-benefit analysis of cervical anterior interbody fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement, which are the main surgical methods to treat degenerative cervical disc disease. Methods : We analyzed 156 patients who underwent anterior cervical disc fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, diagnosed with degenerative cervical disc disorder. In this study, the costs and benefits were analyzed by using quality adjusted life year (QALY) as the outcome index for patients undergoing surgery, and a Markov model was used for the analysis. Only direct medical costs were included in the analysis; indirect medical costs were excluded. Data were analyzed with TreeAge Pro $2015^{TM}$ (TreeAge Software, Inc, Williamstown, MA, USA). Results : Patients who underwent cervical anterior fusion had a total cost of KRW 2501807/USD 2357 over 5 years and obtained a utility of 3.72 QALY. Patients who underwent cervical artificial disc replacement received 4.18 QALY for a total of KRW 3685949/USD 3473 over 5 years. The cumulative cost-effectiveness ratio of cervical spine replacement surgery was KRW 2549511/QALY (USD 2402/QALY), which was lower than the general Korean payment standard. Conclusion : Both cervical anterior fusion and cervical artificial disc replacement are cost-effective treatments for patients with degenerative cervical disc disease. Cervical artificial disc replacement may be an effective alternative to obtain more benefits.

In order to assess the design value of engineering work from the point of view of LCC (Life Cycle Cost) in Korea, it is mandatory for all construction works that the total construction costs are over 10 billion won. The LCC includes initial construction costs, maintenance & operation costs, energy costs, end-of-life costs, and so on. Among these, the portion for maintenance & operation costs for a building is sizeable, as compared to the initial construction costs. Furthermore, the paradigm for construction industry has rapidly shifted from 2D to BIM, which includes design planning and data management. However, the study of BIM-based LCC analysis is not adequate today, even though all domestic construction projects ordered by the Public Procurement Service have to adopt BIM. Therefore, this study suggests a methodology of BIM-based LCC analysis that is particularly focused on repair and replacement (R&R) cost. For this purpose, we defined requirements of calculating R&R cost and extracted X from the relevant IFC data. Thereafter, we input them to the ontology of calculating the initial construction costs to obtain an objective output. Finally, in order to automatically calculate R&R cost, mapping with R&R criteria was performed. We expect that our methodology will contribute to more efficiently calculate R&R cost and, furthermore, that this methodology will be applicable to all range of total LCC. Thus, the proposed process of automatic BIM-based LCC analysis will contribute to making LCC analysis more fast and accurate than it is at present.

This paper deals with two forms of preventive replacement policy with minimal repair at failure. Those are, 1. the replacement policy I based on the cumulative operating time. 2. the replacement policy II based on the number of failures. The basic assumptions are; (1) the cost of minimal repair at failure is increasing with the number of failures since the last replacement, (2) the equipment fails stochastically with time.

This paper considers the optimum replacement times of a steam generator in nuclear power plant with failure data. It is assumed that the failure pattern of units is given as a Weibull distribution and repair and periodic preventive maintenance are performed periodically. The maximum likelihood method is used to estimated the Weibull parameters of failure distribution from failure data. Relpacement, output-decresing and maintenance costs are considered to determine the optimal replacement times by simulation. Numerical examples are included with actual failure data and cost estimators.

많은 객체지향 데이타베이스 시스템들은 객체에 대한 빠른 액세스를 제공하기 위하여 객체 버퍼를 관리한다. 기존의 고정 길이의 페이지를 단위로 하는 교체 알고리즘들은 고정 크기의 페이지의 교체 비용이 일정하므로 버퍼에서 발생하는 비용이 단순히 버퍼 폴트 횟수에 비례한다고 가정하고 있다. 그러나, 객체 버퍼에서는 객체들의 크기와 교체 비용이 객체마다 다르므로 이러한 가정은 더이상 성립하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 객체버퍼를 위한 비용기반 교체 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 객체들의 크기 와 교체 비용을 포함하도록 기존의 페이지 기반 모델을 확장한 비용 모텔을 기반으로 단위 시간 및 단위 공간당 비용이 최소가 되도록 하는 객체를 교체한다. 성능 평가 결과에 따르면 이 알고리즘은 기존의 LRU-2에 비해 거의 항상 우수하며 경우에 따라 2배 이상의 성능을 보인다. 비용기반 알고리즘은 기존의 방법들이 적용된 어떤 응용에도 쉽게 적용될 수 있으며, 특히 교체 비용이 일정하지 않은 객체지향 데이타베이스 시스템에서 효율적으로 활용될 수 있다.
