Information Centric Networking (ICN) has recently attracted great attention. It names the content decoupling from the location and introduces network caching, making the content to be cached anywhere within the network. The benefits of such design are obvious, however, many challenges still need to be solved. Among them, the local caching policy is widely discussed and it can be further divided into two parts, namely the cache permission policy and the cache replacement policy. The former is used to decide whether an incoming content should be cached while the latter is used to evict a cached content if required. The Internet is a user-oriented network and popular contents always have much more requests than unpopular ones. Caching such popular contents closer to the user's location can improve the network performance, and consequently, the local caching policy is required to identify popular contents. However, considering the line speed requirement of ICN routers, the local caching policy whose complexity is larger than O(1) cannot be applied. In terms of the replacement policy, Least Recently Used (LRU) is selected as the default one for ICN because of its low complexity, although its ability to identify the popular content is poor. Hence, the identification of popular contents should be completed by the cache permission policy. In this paper, a cache permission policy called Cache-Filter, whose complexity is O(1), is proposed, aiming to store popular contents closer to users. Cache-Filter takes the content popularity into account and achieves the goal through the collaboration of on-path nodes. Extensive simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of Cache-Filter. Leave Copy Down (LCD), Move Copy Down (MCD), Betw, ProbCache, ProbCache⁺, Prob(p) and Probabilistic Caching with Secondary List (PCSL) are also implemented for comparison. The results show that Cache-Filter performs well. For example, in terms of the distance to access to contents, compared with Leave Copy Everywhere (LCE) used by Named Data Networking (NDN) as the permission policy, Cache-Filter saves over 17% number of hops.

최근 PDA, 휴대폰 GPS와 같은 모바일 기기의 발달로 인하여 이동체에 대한 위치 기반 서비스의 요구가 증대되고 있다. 위치 기반 서비스 기술의 핵심은 이동체로부터 획득된 위치를 효율적으로 저장하고 처리하기 위한 이동체 데이터베이스이며 이동체의 빈번한 보고 데이터를 처리하기 위해서는 서버에서 메인 메모리 DBMS를 유지하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 기존 연구에서는 대부분 디스크 기반 환경에서의 이동체 색인을 연구하였으며 이러한 색인은 메인 메모리의 특성을 고려하지 않기 때문에 메인 메모리 DBMS에서는 효율적인 동작을 보장할 수 없다. 따라서, 메인 메모리 환경에 적합한 이동체 색인에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 메인 메모리 DBMS에서 이동체의 빈번한 보고 데이터를 처리하기 위한 R-tree 기반의 메인 메모리 색인을 제시한다. 제안한 색인에서는 성장 노드 구조를 사용함으로써 노드 오버플로우 시 노드 분할을 지연하여 노드 분할에 의한 분할 비용이 증가하는 것을 방지한다. 또한, 노드간의 중첩을 줄이기 위한 합병 후 재분할 정책과 노드 MBR이 차지하는 영역 크기 비율을 줄이기 위한 큰 영역을 가진 노드에 대한 분할 정책을 제안함으로써 검색 성능을 향상시킨다. 성능 평가를 통해서 이 논문에서 제안한 색인은 기존의 색인에 비해서 영역 질의 수행 시 최대 30% 정도의 성능향상을 보여주고 있다.

기존의 보행분석 연구들은 하지를 하나의 스프링으로 간주하였다. 만약 슬관절 신전을 보조할 수 있는 슬관절 액추에이팅 메커니즘을 개발할 수 있다면 보행에 필요한 탄성-변형률에너지를 혁신적으로 저장-방출할 수 있고, 그 결과 보행 중 하지강성은 더욱 증가할 것이다. 게다가 족관절 액추에이팅 메커니즘까지 추가되어 있다면 슬관절 액추에이터에 의한 과도한 인공하지강성을 능동적이고 적절한 수준으로 보상해주는 기전으로 작동할 것이다. 만약 가속도에 의한 보행속도 증가를 방지하기 위해 인위적 감속통제를 작동시킨다면 불필요한 운동에너지의 방출이 발생되고 하지강성 액추에이터의 실효성은 의심을 받게 된다. 따라서 본 저자는 보행속도를 2개의 세그먼트에 의한 상대 각속도 조절기법을 이용하여 하지강성을 증가시킨다는 기본개념으로 슬-족관절 액추에이터 시스템을 개발하였다. 또한 족관절에 슬관절 액추에이팅에 대한 보상기전이 존재하는 경우, 족관절의 보상기전이 중족지절관절 경사각 및 보행속도 변화에 미치는 상호영향을 연구하였다.

Purpose - In today's globalized and modern business environment, corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities are considered to be essential for the sustainable development of enterprises. In addition, the corporate philanthropy that is related to CSR practices, as well as their being capable of reducing the anti-corporate sentiment of people have facilitated a qualitative forward leap into the quantitative growth phase. This study aims to undertake a comparative evaluation of corporate philanthropy through the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) method focusing on service and manufacturing industries, and to eventually determine a differentiated approach that is needed for corporate philanthropy. Research design, data, and methodology - The survey responses were collected through online research on specialized companies from consumers nationwide who were aged from 20 to 60 and who are aware of corporate philanthropy. A total of 408 sheets of questionnaire survey were used. Frequency analysis was undertaken in this study. The interviewees had demographic characteristics of gender: 206 males (50.5%) and 202 females (49.5%). They also had demographic characteristics of age: 82 people were over 20 (20.1%), 96 over 30 (23.5%), 105 over 40 (25.7%), and 125 over 50 (30.7%) years of age. The distribution of interviewees' residences is as follows: 154 persons (37.7%) in the Special City, 102 persons (25.0%) in the Metropolitan City, and 152 persons (37.3%) in the Provincial Region. The interviewees have been working for the following companies: 34 persons (8.3%) in LG Display, 80 (19.6%) in KT&G, 49 (12.0%) in Amore Pacific, 42 (10.3%) in KIA Motors, 47 (11.5%) in SBS, 52 (12.8%) in Shinhan Bank, 86 (21.1%) in Asiana Airlines, and 18 (4.4%) in Hyundai Department Store. We applied the paired t-test for the IPA analysis. PASW Statistics 18 was used for statistical analysis. Results - The results of IPA analysis indicated that the importance and performance degrees in both manufacturing and service industries were significantly different. Major empirical results showed that, in consumer, social, economic, philanthropic, and environmental dimensions, in the sub-factors of philanthropy activities in both manufacturing and service industries, the importance degree was found to be higher than performance degree. Further, the average difference between importance degree and performance degree by the sub-factors of philanthropy activities. On the other hand, the average difference of environmental dimension was found to be highest in both service and manufacturing industries. Thus, while consumers consider the philanthropy activities of the environmental dimension as most important, actual companies treat performance of philanthropy activities of the environmental dimension insufficiently or negligibly to some degree. Conclusions - The differentiated approach method that is required for corporate philanthropy may be proposed to uplift corporate accomplishments by analyzing the IPA of the attributes of the sub-factors of corporate philanthropy. This is, to an extent, insufficient in the existing studies related to the use of the IPA technique, and it shows the items that are to be conducted intensively.

Purpose Product characteristics and price value in website have strongly effects on customer satisfaction. Especially, in the online shopping site, the scarcity limits the customer's opportunity to purchase the product. Thus scarcity has been proposed as a important factor that makes the customer highly aware of the merchantability of the product. The scarcity in the web store is used as an important variable to make purchasing decisions of users easier by psychological pressure. In the case of scarce products with price discounts in online commerce, advertising formats that highlight scarcity value in the web commerce market are very effective in enhancing purchase intentions of consumers. Unlike offline stores, the importance of scarcity becomes more important when reflecting the characteristics of online commerce. Therefore, this study intends to confirm the influence of the degree of price discounts and scarcity information presented by Web sites on consumer purchase behavior in Web purchase behavior. Design/methodology/approach This study conducted a web-based experimental study on price sensitivity and price discount. Therefore, we created experimental web-sites that offer two stimuli according to the discount rate. The 200 respondents were randomly assigned. The stimuli were fictitious based on tourism products. The first stimulus presented the price discount(15% discount) with basic explanation about the package of the tourist package. The stimuli assigned to the second group were used for groups with high price discount intensity(65% discount). In this way, the two stimuli clearly distinguished the level of price discount intensity. This paper conducted t-test analysis and structural equation to analyze the experiemental results after confirming the reliability and validity. Findings The results of this study are as follows. The difference in price discount intensity (15% vs 65%) with scarcity showed the mean difference among all the variables. Therefore, this study concluded that there is a significant difference between the price discount of 15% and 65% for the acquisition value and transaction value of users. In particular, consumers' purchase intention is greater and product recommendation intensity is stronger when the price discount is 65%. As a result, the high degree of the price discount intensity with scarcity exerts a greater influence on consumers' purchase intentions. Product scarcity also have a significant impact on perceived value of users. Therefore, purchase intention of customers increases when perceived value increases their profit and pleasure feeling.

최근 모바일 컴퓨팅 환경의 변화로 멀티미디어 데이타의 고성능, 저전력 처리에 대한 수요가 증가하고, 프로세서에 있어서 멀티미디어 전용 가속기 기능의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있다. 이에 본 논문은 고성능, 저전력 멀티미디어 처리를 위한 SIMD 병렬 프로세서용 칼라미디어 명령어를 제안한다. 기존의 범용 마이크로프로세서 전용 멀티미디어 명령어 (e.g., MMX, VIS, AltiVec)는 4개의 8 비트 픽셀을 32 비트 레지스터에 저장하고 처리하는 반면에, 제안하는 칼라미디어 명령어는 인간의 시각이 칼라에 덜 민감한 점을 고려하여 32비트 데이타패스 아키텍처에서 두 쌍 (6개의 픽셀)의 압축된 16비트 YCbCr (6비트 Y, 5비트 Cb와 Cr) 데이타를 32비트 레지스터에 저장하고 동시에 처리함으로써 YCbCr 데이타 처리에서 높은 병렬성과 효율성을 보여준다. 또한 칼라미디어 명령어는 데이타 포맷 사이즈를 줄임으로써 전체시스템의 비용을 절감할 뿐만 아니라 데이타 대역폭의 감소로 시스템 디자인을 간소화한다. SIMD 병렬 프로세서 아키텍처에서 모의 실험한 결과, 칼라미디어 명령어 기반 프로그램은 baseline 명령어 프로그램보다 평균 6.3배 성능향상을 보여준다. 반면, Intel의 대표적인 멀티미디어 명령어인 MMX 기반 프로그램은 동일한 SIMD 병렬 프로세서에서 baseline 명령어 프로그램보다 단지 3.7배 성능향상을 나타낸다. 또한, 칼라미디어 명령어는 MMX보다 시스템 면적 효율 (52% 증가 대비 13% 증가)과 시스템 전력 효율 (50% 증가 대비 11% 증가)에서 우수성을 보여준다. 칼라미디어 명령어는 이러한 성능과 효율을 단지 3%의 시스템 면적과 5%의 시스템 전력의 증가로 얻는 반면, MMX는 14%의 시스템 면적과 16%의 시스템 전력증가가 요구된다.

Purpose - Prior research has suggested that consumers typically prefer to have a larger number of options. However, preference of assortment size may depend on how depleted resources in consumers' mind are. Reduced capacity for self-regulation by resource depletion makes people rely on more intuitive and less effortful decision processing. When they are mentally depleted, people are likely to focus on the choice difficulty from large assortment, which leads to preference for the small assortment when they make a decision. It could be an important question potentially how being in a depleted mode through effortful self-regulation will influence on the evaluation of assortment size. To answer this questioner, we hypothesized that being engaged in self-regulation, as compared with not being engaged in self-regulation, will influence on the evaluation of product assortment size such as attractiveness, difficulty of choice, and anticipated regret. Research design, data, and methodology - In this study, we first manipulated self-regulatory resource availability using a self-regulation task (i.e., instructing participants to solve Sudoku puzzle vs. to solve diagram cube by filling any diagrams that they prefer into cube instead of number) and asked to indicate the difficulty of the tasks available to them ("How much difficulty did you feel when you complete the task?") Next, participants were asked to imagine that they were planning to buy a laptop at one of the two stores (small assortment: 6 options vs. large assortment: 30 options), both offering good quality of products. After reading the product descriptions, participants were instructed to consider all the information and choose a store that they would like to shop. Finally we measured the choice difficulty, evaluation of product assortments, and anticipated regret on a 7-point scale. We conducted two-way ANOVA in testing the main hypothesis that depleted consumers will show poorer subsequent self-control than non-depleted consumers when they make a decision in large assortment. Results - Compared with non-depleted participants, depleted participants showed the bigger difference from the degree of choice difficulty and product attractiveness between large and small assortments, but the result revealed only a significant interaction effect of resource depletion and assortment size on choice difficulty. Also depleted participants showed the smaller difference from the degree of anticipated regret between large and small assortments than non-depleted participants. Conclusion - Depleted individuals by a prior task are relatively effortless and intuitive form of choosing products so that they try to avoid making effortful trade-offs among choice difficulty such as large assortment, compare with non-depleted individuals. However, for anticipated regret, non-depleted individuals in small assortment anticipate more regret by excluding or at least restricting the possibility of buying attractive items or another kind of potential items than depleted individuals, regardless less choice difficulty in small option. To sum up, it is important to note that individuals are influenced by self-regulatory resources and their self-regulatory conditions contribute to the overall positive or negative impact of product assortment on choice.

Purpose - The cosmetics industry is a traditional high value-added industry in terms of the domestic demand, small batch production systems, exclusive competition, and raw materials highly dependent on overseas countries as well as an oligopolistic market structure. However, new foreign brands and growing consumer awareness of inexpensive products, has triggered a shift. In line with changing lifestyles and the polarization of consumption, the industry faces a new market structure. Among its key characteristics is the cosmetics industry's numerous distribution channels (i.e., department stores, door-to-door sales, online shopping malls, brand shops, and discount stores). Therefore, the study of its distribution channels is essential. Research design, data, and methodology - The study analyzed channel distribution power divided into coercive and non-coercive power. The factors of coercive power included: unilateral request of an increase in commissions, interference in sales by taking advantage of a superior status, unilateral buck-passing at the time of a problem, unilateral request to stop sales activities, and a unilateral business contract; the factors of non-coercive power included favorable payment conditions, offers of various kinds of information, policy on commission reduction, pride in market entrance, and promotion support. In addition, the mediating variable "interdependence" was applied to the execution of department store (or mart) power and their shop conflicts and satisfaction to examine direct and indirect influential power. The methodology was a survey of managers of cosmetics shops in department stores (or marts). The questionnaire, based on a five-point Likert scale, included questions about basic personal information, execution of power, interdependence, conflict, and satisfaction. The study distributed 198 questionnaires and collected 131. Ten questionnaires with missing or hard to analyze data were excluded. Thus, 121 copies were analyzed. Results - According to the analysis, the execution of coercive power by department stores (or marts) did not affect interdependence, but the execution of non-coercive power did. Interdependence did not influence conflict, but did affect satisfaction. Additionally, the analysis revealed direct influential power: the execution of coercive power positively affected conflict and negatively influenced satisfaction; the execution of non-coercive power positively affected satisfaction. Conclusions - To offer suggestions for distribution business relations in the cosmetics industry, this study investigated how the execution of power by department stores (or marts) affected their shops. More specifically, it examined how much the execution of both coercive power and non-coercive power influenced conflict and satisfaction, and analyzed the mediating role of interdependence. In line with previous study results in various areas, coercive power was shown to be the source of conflict, leading to a decrease in satisfaction, whereas non-coercive power significantly positively influenced satisfaction. Moreover, non-coercive power increased interdependence, which led to greater satisfaction. As a result, interdependence had a mediating effect on non-coercive power and satisfaction. Based on the results, department stores (or marts) should look for improvements plans that increase interdependence. Such plans could alleviate conflict with the shops, increasing their satisfaction.
