In the MQTT protocol, if the retained flag of a message published by a publisher is set, the message is stored in the broker as a retained message. When a new subscriber performs a subscribe, the broker immediately sends the retained message. This allows the new subscriber to perform updates on the current state via the retained message without waiting for new messages from the publisher. However, sending retained messages can become a traffic overhead if new messages are frequently published by the publisher. This situation could be considered an overhead when new subscribers frequently subscribe. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a retained message delivery scheme by considering the characteristics of the published messages. We model the delivery and waiting actions to new subscribers from the perspective of the broker using reinforcement learning, and determine the optimal policy through Q learning algorithm. Through performance analysis, we confirm that the proposed method shows improved performance compared to existing methods.

The purpose of this study was to develop design principles of both animated pedagogical agents as 'credible' persuasive message source and persuasive fear arousing instructional messages in order to help enhance attitude changes toward a certain issue. Based on the previous pedagogical agent research, this study drew the design principles providing ways to manipulate agent credibility level and fear arousing level of message. Consequently, it specified how to make pedagogical agents perceived less or more credible by learners by manipulating a variety of agent features. For fear arousing message, this study showed how fear arousing messages would be structured into one of three levels: non-threatening, moderately threatening, and strongly threatening. Two different agent conditions and three message conditions were actually developed and experimentally tested with the participants of 40 undergraduate students. The results showed that the agent design principles specified from the previous research worked well enough to make a distinction between the more credible agent and the less credible agent. The overall results of this study may indicate that the design strategies for fear arousing message are retained on the premise of some future refinements.

This thesis establishes two propositions. Firstly the pivotal aspect of postmodern fem-inism is socio-cultural ambivalence which is reflected in postmodern fashion as androgeny. By tracing postmodern element in fashion it is shown that postmodern cultural logic is operating sometimes in a vague weakened form Secondly the fact is taken into analysis that the postmodern discourse is conveyed in reality by the multinational firms which aims at profit maximisation with incessant change of image. In this process the postmodern message is almost removed of its contents only the outer form retained, The originality of the thesis lies mainly in the approach adopted. It combines cultural and socio-economic factors together as compared to the traditional approach which tends to relate a contemporary aesthetic trend mechaniclly to fashion phenomena.

Communication log data consist of communication events such as sending and receiving e-mail or instance message and visiting web sites, etc. Many countries including USA and EU enforce the retention of these data on the communication service providers for the purpose of investigating or detecting criminals through the Internet. Because size of the retained data is very large, the efficient method for extracting valuable information from the data is needed for Law Enforcement Authorities to use the retained data. This paper defines the Interactive Communication Sequence Patterns(ICSPs) that is the important information when each communication event in communication log data consists of sender, receiver, and timestamp of this event. We also define a Mining(FDICSP) problem to discover such patterns and propose a method called Fast Discovering Interactive Communication Sequence Pattern(FDICSP) to solve this problem. FDICSP focuses on the characteristics of ICS to reduce the search space when it finds longer sequences by using shorter sequences. Thus, FDICSP can find Interactive Communication Sequence Patterns efficiently.

Since reaching the top in the Billboard Main Album Chart 'Billboard 200' with Love Yourself: Tear in May of 2018, BTS once again took first place after just three months in the 'Billboard 200'(September 3, 2018) with the repackaged album Love Yourself: Answer. It opened the doors to the 'Hallyu 4.0' by conquering the main Billboard Chart with a song sung in Korean. BTS rose to the top on the 'Billboard 200' twice, thus being recognized globally for their musical talent(song, dance, promotion, etc.), and took their place in the mainstream music market of the world. BTS moved away from intuitive interaction such as mysticism, abnormality, irregularity, etc. but instead created their own world(BTS Universe) with fans around the world through two-directional communication such as consensus, sharing and co-existence. They are recognized as artists that went beyond being an idol group that simply released a few hit songs that had now elevated popular music to a new form of art. In result, they retained a highly loyal global fan base(A.R.M.Y.) and they are continuously creating good influence with them. This study analyzed the success factors of BTS using the S-M-C-R-E model as follows. ① Sender: BTS'7-person 7-colors fantasy and 'All-in-one storytelling' strategy of producer Bang Shi-hyuk ② Message: Create global consensus of 'you' rather than 'me' ③ Channel: Created real-time common grounds with global fans through social network platforms such as Youtube, Facebook and Instagram ④ Receiver: Formed highly loyal global fandom(A.R.M.Y.) that extends outside of Korea and Asia ⑤ Effect: Created additional economic value and spread good influence
