I have briefly described some of the important advances in hydrosystems and to remark on the important scientific research priorities in hydrological sciences. We have concentrated on data collection systems, real-time control of hydrosystems, global climate change and decision support systems and GIS. In summary, I would like to stress the following points: - the advances in data collection systems, advanced methodologies for interfacion hydrologic, hydraulic, and optimization models through optimal control approaches; and the advances in decision support systems and GIS will allow the interfacing of all these technologies into some sophisticated and much needed tools for operating hydrosystems; - the ability to better understand the hydrologic processes and their relationships to other earth processes is important to understanding and modelling of the hydrologic cycle and its interactions with the ocean-atmosphere system; - and the solution to a better understanding of hydrologic sciences needs to be an international effort such as the GEWEX program briefly discussed above. I would like to thamk each of you for listening to my lecture and to once again thank those responsible for me being here today. Thank you.

This paper studies six different AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) approaches and suggests that the features of the approaches are classified by application circumstances in order to contribute to the applicability and quality usage of the AHP. Our study investigates the hierarchical principles and characteristics of the AHP, and historical debates on the AHP evaluation in which the six approaches have been involved. One of six approaches is an ANP (Analytic Network Process) application that is directly connected to AHP usage. The application differences among the six approaches are validated with a plain example. Then, the four circumstances of AHP applications are classified by two dimensions: the first dimension is whether or not the importance (weights) of criteria is independent of restrictively setting alternatives, and the second dimension is whether or not preference (priorities) of alternatives is independent of adding alternative(s) to or removing alternative(s) from the considering set of alternatives. Then featuring way of weighting criteria is classified. We suggest the distinguishing manners and describe the implications of the AHP application. Finally, we discuss rank reversal and multiplicative AHP.

In the automated manufacturing systems, the problem regarding how to make production activities flexible is even more important and critical than that regarding how to product large quantities, and the more flexible, if possible, the manufacturing system is, the more competitiveness and profitable factors it gets. This research, therefore, concentrated on establishing the flexibility and evaluating performance on the manufacturing system, operational flexibility is considered because of enabling the manufacturing system to get both the improvement of production rate and the adaptive ability of environment changes. For it, we used the analytical tool, GSPNs, which is a kind of timed Petri-Nets. GSPNs is competent enough to consider practical situations just like operation priorities, machine failure, randomness, concurrency and so on. Through the GSPNs analysis, it is confirmed that in the manufacturing system with operational flexibility is compatible with the traditional performances such as production rate or mean waiting time.

Release planning for incremental software development is to select and assign features in sequence of releases along a specified planning horizon. It includes the technical precedence inherent in the features, the conflicting priorities as determined by the representative stakeholders, and the balance between required and available resources. The complexity of this consideration is getting more complicated when planning releases in software product lines. The problem is formulated as a precedence-constrained multiple 0-1 knapsack problem. In this research a genetic algorithm is developed for solving the release planning problems in software product lines as well as tests for the proposed solution methodology are conducted using data generated randomly.

Considering the variety of application and other factors in performing the optimization of radiological protection, it is necessary to use well-structured optimization procedure. In this study, an optimization procedure for design stage of nuclear power plant was proposed, and applied in the selection of alternatives for reducing occupational radiation exposure. As an aiding technique for decision-making, multi-criteria technique was used. As a result, priorities of alternatives are determined, and a problem of applying this result to real situation is reviewed. The developed procedure for optimization can be extended to other areas such as radioactive waste management, medical use of radiation, etc.

This study explores the application of the analytic network process (ANP) approach for the evaluation of R&D projects with heterogeneous objectives. The ANP model in this study produced the final priorities of projects with respect to several performance measures when there are interdependencies between research objectives and performance measures. The paper provides value to practitioners by providing a generic model for R&D project evaluation. The ANP approach is tested against empirical data drawn from fourteen R&D projects under six different objective programs sponsored by the Korean government.

In this paper, we present new methods for identifying keywords for foresight topics that utilize the internet and textmining techniques to draw objective and quantified information that support experts' qualitative opinions and evaluations in foresight. Furthermore, by applying this fabricated procedure, we have derived keywords to analyze priorities in architectural engineering. Not much difference between qualitative methods of experts and quantitative methods such as text mining has been observed from comparison between technologies derived via qualitative method from "The Science Technology Vision" (control group). Therefore, as a quantitative tool useful for drawing keywords for foresight, textmining can supplement quantitative analysis by experts. In addition, depending on the level and type of raw data, text mining can bring better results in deriving foresight keywords. For this reason, research activities accommodating Internet search results and the development of textmining methods for analyzing current trends are in demand.

This paper focuses on competencies of data scientists and behavioral intention that affect big data analysis performance. This experiment examined nine core factors required by data scientists. In order to investigate this, we conducted a survey to gather data from 103 data scientists who participated in big data competition at Kaggle platform and used factor analysis and PLS-SEM for the analysis methods. The results show that some key competency factors have influential effect on the big data analysis performance. This study is to provide a new theoretical basis needed for relevant research by analyzing the structural relationship between the individual competencies and performance, and practically to identify the priorities of the core competencies that data scientists must have.
