Recently, electric power reliability of our country has been improved. However, there are still remaining problems which are short-duration variations like instantaneous and momentary interruption and voltage sag by nature calamity ; typhoon, lightning, snow, etc. Besides, power quality ; harmonics, caused by using power electronics equipments, become a hot issue Malfunction of controller and stop machinery, and losing the important data are caused by poor power quality at a couple of second. Due to those, UPS, which is made up battery, has being used, but there are several disadvantages ; long charge and discharge time, environmental problem by acid and heavy metal, and short life time. As generally know, micro-SMES is a method to settle those mentioned. However, there need huge system apparatuses in order to verify the effect of system efficiency and stability considering the size of micro-SMES, the sort of converter type, and various conditions ; inner temperature, magnetic field, quench characteristic of micro-SMES, and etc. In this paper, in order to bring the mentioned above to a settlement, a micro-SMES is modeled with characteristics of micro-SMES is interfaced to EMTOC program using Fortran program interface method. We obtained hopeful answers and made the simulation model of micro SMES.

Software for analyzing documents on the net to detect specific categories of occurrences is in great demand. In the current world where detecting terrorist threats is critical there is a great need for such systems. One of the critical application areas of such software is the automatic detection of a national infrastructure emergency. In this research an agent-based generic architecture for emergency warning systems is proposed and implemented. This system, called the National Infrastructure Emergency Warning System (NIEWS), is designed to analyze given documents, to detect threats, and to report possible threats with the necessary information to the appropriate users autonomously. In addition, a systematic analysis framework to detect emergencies on the subject of defensive information warfare is designated and implemented through a knowledge base. The developed system along with the knowledge base is implemented and successfully deployed to Strategic Crisis Exercise (SCE) at the United State Army War College (USAWC), saving a good amount of money by replacing human SMEs (subject matter experts) in the SCE.

The quality of service in ERP services is a key issue in innovating the ERP performance as an IT service for corporations. Currently, most of the research works for this area are based on the existing quality models such as SERVQUAL, which are said not to measure service quality properly. Also, it does not consider the factor of the system acceptance, which is thought to be closely related to the quality of service in this type of IT services. Therefore, a research model is required, which can address the issues related to the ERP service quality measurements. In this paper, new research models have been proposed, and empirical data obtained from SME's ERP users have been applied to the proposed model to analyze the causal relationship between quality factors and to identify the most suitable quality measures. Also, the relationship between the service quality and the system acceptance was analyzed using a combined model. The results show that factors such as productivity and convenience affects the quality mostly and that the most appropriate measure for the service quality of ERP service is satisfaction. Also, for the system acceptance, the ease-of-use is the main factor. And, the service quality and system acceptance shows a strong correlation. This means that, in order to enhance the quality of ERP services, the service provider needs to provide customers with productivity-enhanced user-friendly IT services and active product support. The work of this research can help to improve the service quality and the user acceptance of ERP services and to lead further research works in this area.

As the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises(SMEs) has increases, it has been accompanied by an increase in the amount research attention paid to the factors contributing to the competitiveness of SMEs. Human resource management(HRM) should be the central themes of the discussion. This study is performed to provide basic and broad information of the current state of HRM in SME as the first step for such an effort. The conditions of HRM and the degree of introduction and utilization of six different HRM practices, incentive regulation, complaints handling system, suggestion system, employment stability system, performance evaluation system, and regular education and training, are analyzed through the data collected form 763 SMEs of four industries in Daegu, Only 2 percent of responding companies had been formed unions, 43% evaluate their employment conditions are difficult. And 39% of the SMEs appraise their human resources are more competitive than those of other companies. The ration of introduction of regular education and training system is highest and that of performance evaluation is lowest among the all responding companies. In addition, employment stability system is found as the most actively utilized HRM practice. The implications of these results and future research directions are suggested.

As industries converge in recent years, the impact of the use of convergence tools among industries on the security of the organization is increasing. However, organizational members lack the ability to adapt to introduction of new system because they are operating business around existing systems, and thus, security considerations are an environment that will inevitably emerge as a follow-up priority. In this study, we studied cost-effective options for factors that should be considered first in order to establish a security system for small and medium-sized healthcare institutions in the healthcare convergence industry. Specifically, the current legal system was considered and the security status was analyzed through prior research, and the necessary security solution/system was derived from small and medium-sized healthcare institutions. In addition, it analyzed relative priorities for cost-efficient deployment of security systems to those involved in small and medium-sized healthcare institutions in actual business environments and presented measures to establish a overall security.

The Innovation Procurement Policy was introduced as part of the strategic public procurement policy to improve firms' innovation capabilities and enhance the public sector's ability to solve social problems by designating and purchasing so-called 'innovative products.' The pilot procurement project for innovative products was first introduced in 2019, and the policy system for designating and discovering innovative products by government departments, as well as the priority purchase system, was established in 2020. Hence, this study conducted a quantitative analysis focusing on the effectiveness of the innovation procurement system in supporting firms after it was fully implemented. For this purpose, corporate financial and employment data from 2017 to 2021 were used, and propensity score matching(PSM) and difference-in-difference(DID) methods were utilized as analytical tools. The study found that the innovation procurement system contributed to corporate growth and employment and created additional public and private sales channels. Moreover, it is necessary to enhance the innovation procurement system, such as matching innovative product-producing companies with existing SME support policies, for companies to become self-sustaining after the innovative product designation ends.
