As the mobile computers such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) or Smart Phone has been widespread in our daily life, the demand of an extensive data input will gradually be increased. Consequently, many alternative soft keyboards have been proposed to satisfy this requirement. However none of them can provide an absolute solutions for that, the segregated guideline for keyboard arrangement and usage still cause much confusion to the user. Therefore, an integrated guideline is seriously required. In order to come up with the integrated guideline for Korean Soft keyboard GUI, the questionnaire and the experimental test compared with five soft keyboards were conducted in this study. As a result this paper presents five guidelines for improving an input speed of soft keyboard on the mobile computing; following familiarity for effective screen use, using a single key rather than grouping key, considering position of prediction word, considering prompt feedback, finally, considering optimized keyboard size.

This study aims to evaluate the effect of mobile health intervention for employees with diabetes. The study subjects were 101 employees having fasting blood glucose over 100 mg/dL. The study participants were educated to check their blood sugar before meals every day, and received text messages to help improve general lifestyle habits for blood sugar, diet, and exercise for 12 weeks. There was a sufficient difference in blood sugar, body mass index and blood pressure before and after the intervention. As a result, fasting blood glucose(129.38±1.95 to 123.63±1.82) decreased(P<0.001). Body mass index(26.20±0.29 to 25.81±0.28, P<0.000), diastolic blood pressure(124.60±1.03 to 122.56±1.05, P<0.032), and systolic blood pressure(79.86±0.83 to 78.06±0.79, P<0.017) decreased, which were also statistically significant. It is expected that this study will be used as basic data to develop a self care program by using mobile and apply it to employees with diabetes.

There are not enough information and service in current e-government practice because it only relier on text based information services. To make e-government more attractive and successful, scope of information and service should be broaden. To do so, GIS is necessary in the development process of e-government. This paper aims at exploring theories and technologies related to e-government and suggesting strategies for developing GIS based local e-government. In this paper, we particularly pay attention to the role of GIS for local e-government. Since many of local government data has spatial components, we believe that GIS would play a crucial role in developing local e-government. Thus, this paper tries to examine how GIS contribute to successful implementation of e-government. Then, it attempts to build a developmental model for GIS based e-government. Finally, it suggests strategies and policy measures for each development stage.

PMS(Pavement Management System) has been developed and/or operated for the freeway and national highway systems in Korea. There is, however, no municipal PMS that is necessary in many cities for efficient management of their roadways. In this study, a municipal Prototype PMS is developed. The Prototype PMS is designed to be operated on PC base. It uses GIS interface for user friendliness that applies color graphics, text and distress pictures to display pavement conditions and rehabilitation information for both current and historical situations. The computer program of the prototype PMS consists of four major functions(inquiry, analysis, data management, and print). Especially, prioritization and M&R(Maintenance and Rehabilitation) alternative selection procedure is designed to be flexible so that the users can modify the decision criteria whenever it is necessary. Database items of the Prototype PMS is carefully selected for the objectives and size of municipal PMS. Reference point method is basically used for the location referencing in the Database. The unit section consists of each loom segment of the road for effective management.

The Construction Project Information System(CPIS), an information system constructed as part of the Construction Continuous Acquisition & Life-cycle Support(CALS) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport(MOLIT), is designed to digitize construction projects across all stages, and enable sharing of information so as to enhance the productivity and efficiency of construction projects and secure their transparent administration. One of MOLIT's internal work systems, CPIS focuses on work-handling and data management. However, now over 10 years old after its construction, it focuses on text and document-based construction project information, but it cannot be interfaced with the visualization-based GIS, which limits the sharing and dissemination of information and the determination of the overall construction project status. To resolve the existing CPIS limitations and problems and to upgrade the system, this study examined domestic and overseas GIS technology trends and relevant information systems, and analyzed the CPIS status and problems. It thus proposed total GIS application measures to upgrade CPIS. Also, it identified detailed CPIS utilization measures and GIS application measures by unit system, and analyzed considerations for GIS application.

In this paper, we propose a new texture-based page segmentation and classification method in which table region, background region, image region and text region in a given document image are automatically identified. The proposed method for document images consists of two stages, document segmentation and contents classification. In the first stage, we segment the document image, and then, we classify contents of document in the second stage. The proposed classification method is based on a texture analysis. Each contents in the document are considered as regions with different textures. Thus the problem of classification contents of document can be posed as a texture segmentation and analysis problem. Two-dimensional Gabor filters are used to extract texture features for each of these regions. Our method does not assume any a priori knowledge about content or language of the document. As we can see experiment results, our method gives good performance in document segmentation and contents classification. The proposed system is expected to apply such as multimedia data searching, real-time image processing.

This research defines research support service, and compares the support service provided by college libraries in Korea and overseas. The findings showed that the frequency of college library service in Korean schools were low. Korean college libraries' services were mostly limited to the services of a normal library such as bibliographic education, full text service, and interlibrary loan service. To put it differently, Korean college libraries lacked information services on research ethics. Research spot services per research stage were mostly restricted to the data collection stage, and deficient elsewhere. On the other hand, college libraries in the U.S. were providing a platform for scholarly communication between researcher and scholars via websites.

As the importance and proportion of electronic records increases in the public sector, the necessity for variable types of records management has strengthened. Elements of records management metadata standards, which were provided in 2007 by the National Archives of Korea, focused mainly on text-centered records management standards. Therefore an extension of elements which can represent diverse types of electronic records is needed. In this study, metadata elements focusing on image records are suggested. For this, the characteristics of image records are investigated and the Australian government recordkeeping metadata standard and the PREMIS data dictionary, which have been recently modified, are analyzed. Through this, four elements, format, significant properties, environment, and coverage are suggested to fortify the current records management standard.

In this paper, we designed 2D, 2.5D cloth design system and a 3D cloth animation system. They make the 3D cloth animation possible by using coordinate points extracted from 2D and 2.5D cloth design system in order to realize a system that allows customers to wear clothes in the virtual space. To make natural draping, it uses for description the mesh creation and transformation algorithms, path extraction algorithm, warp algorithm, and brightness extraction and application algorithms. The coordinate points extracted here are received as text format data and inputted as clothing information in the cloth file. Moreover, the cloth file has a 2D pattern and is realized to be used in the 3D cloth animation system. The 3D cloth animation system generated in this way builds a web-based fashion mall using ISB (Internet Space Builder) and lets customers view the clothing animation on the web by adding the animation process to the simulation result.
