As Web services need to manage lots of information, it is indispensable to reduce server's load and speed up processing time. In this paper, we analyze the loading problems of server and suggest designing methods for light loaded Web applications based on .NET. The proposed methods include using a relative database to produce minimized modules and Stored Procedures to simplify SQL statements for reducing sever's load. Web pages are organized with scripts replacing server language, which improve server's capability by reducing loads. The execution time is also speeded up by organizing Web pages with User Controls. And XML/EDI is used for managing the effective exchange of documents. The proposed methods are implemented as an education management system and shows its effectiveness.

Recently, keyword spotting system is greatly in the limelight as UI(User Interface) technology of ubiquitous home network system. Keyword spotting system is vulnerable to non-stationary noises such as TV, radio, dialogue. Especially, speech recognition rate goes down drastically under the embedded DSP(Digital Signal Processor) environments because it is relatively low in the computational capability to process input speech in real-time. In this paper, we propose a new keyword spotting system using the call-command method, which is consisted of small number of recognition networks. We select the call-command such as 'narae', 'home manager' and compose the small network as a token which is consisted of silence with the noise and call commands to carry the real-time recognition continuously for input speeches.

Several attempts have been made to add journaling capability to a traditional file allocation table (FAT) file system. However, they encountered issues such as excessive system load or instability of the journaling data itself. If journaling data is saved as a file format, it can be corrupted by a user application. However, if journaling data is saved in a fixed area such as a reserved area, the storage can be physically corrupted because of excessive system load. To solve this problem, a new method that dynamically allocates journaling data is introduced. In this method, the journaling data is not saved as a file format. Using a reserved area and reserved FAT status entry of the FAT file system specification, the journaling data can be dynamically allocated and cannot be accessed by user applications. The experimental results show that this method is more stable and scalable than other log-based FAT file systems. HFAT was tested with more than 12,000 power failures and was stable.

The MC-CDMA(multi-carrier code division multiple access) technique is known to be appropriate for high data-rate wireless communications such as mobile multimedia communication due to its robustness to multipath fading and its capability of handing high data rates with a simple one-tap equalizer. In this paepr, the performance of a MC-CDMA cellular system employing antenna arrays at the based station in a fading channel is presented. It is whown that the interference from other users within the cell can be significantly reduced for both reverse link (mobile to base station) and forward link (base station to mobile) using a MC-CDMA with antenna arrays, thus incresig the system's user-capacity. Computer simulations that demonstrate user-capacity improvement of the proposed approach are discussed.

The satellite navigation system was developed for the purpose of calculating the location of local users, starting with the Global Positioning System (GPS) in the 1980s. Advanced countries in the space industry are operating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) that covers the entire earth, such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou, by establishing satellite navigation systems for each country. Regional Navigation Satellite Systems (RNSS) such as QZSS and NavIC are also in operation. In the early 2010s, only GPS and GLONASS could calculate location using a single system for location determination. After 2016, the EU and China also completed the establishment of GNSS such as Galileo and BeiDou. As a result, satellite navigation users can benefit from improved availability of GNSS. In addition, before Galileo and BeiDou's Full Operational Capability (FOC) declaration, they used combined navigation algorithms to calculate the user's location by adding another satellite navigation system to the GPS satellites. Recently, it may be possible to calculate a user's location for each navigation system using the resources of a single system. In this paper, we evaluated the performance of single system navigation and combined navigation solutions of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou and QZSS individual navigation systems using high-performance GNSS receivers.

In this paper, we proposed multipurpose signal detection methods for ECG (electrocardiogram) based u-healthcare systems. For ECG based u-healthcare system, QRS signal extraction for cardiovascular disease diagnosis is essential. Also, for security and convenience reasons, it is desirable if u-healthcare system support biometric identification directly from user's bio-signal such as ECG for this case. For this, from Lead II signal, we developed QRS signal detection method and also, we developed signal extraction method for biometric identification using Lead II signal which is relatively robust from signal alteration by aging and diseases. For QRS signal detection capability from Lead II signal, ECG signals from MIT-BIH database are used and it showed 99.36% of accuracy and 99.68% of sensitivity. Also, to show the performance of signal extraction capability for biometric diagnosis purpose, Lead III signals are measured after drinking, smoking, or exercise to consider various monitoring conditions and it showed 99.92% of accuracy and 99.97% of sensitivity.

User-Centered Design Approach plays important role in dealing with usability issues for developing modern technology products. Yet it is still questionable whether the User-Centered approach is enough for the development of successful consumer contents since the User-Centered Design is originated from the software engineering field where meeting customers' functional requirement is the most critical aspect in developing a software. However, modern consumer market is already saturated and in order to meet ever increasing consumer requirements, the User-Centered Design approach needs to be expanded. As a way of incorporating the User-Centered Approach into the consumer product development, Jordan suggested the 'Pleasure-based Approach' in industrial design field, which usually generates multi-dimensional user requirements: 1)physical, 2)cognitive, 3)identity and 4) social. It is the current tendency that many portal and community service providers focus on fulfilling both functional and emotional needs for users when developing new items, contents and services. Previously fulfilling consumers' emotional needs solely depend on visual designer's graphical sense and capability. However, taking the customer-centered approach on withdrawing consumers' unknown needs is getting critical in the competitive market environment. This paper reviews different types of user research techniques and categorized into 6 ways based on Kano(1992)'s product quality model. Based on his theory, only performance factors, such as suability, can be identified through the user-centered design approach. The user-centered design approach has to be expanded to include factors include personality, sociability, pleasure, and so on. In order to identify performance as well as excellent factors through user research, a user-research framework was established and tested through the case study, which is ' the development of new online service for teens '. The results of the user research were summarized at the end of the paper and the pros and cons of each research techniques were analyzed.

Cognitive radio should imply a proper sensing technique for detecting the presence of licensed users to identify the unused spectrum holes. Besides this, this information should also be used to opportunistically provide communication among secondary users. At the same time the performance of the primary user should not be declined by the secondary users. The detection of licensed users may be significantly difficult for shadowing effect. To prevail over this problem cooperative spectrum sensing, In which the combined observation information gained by multiple secondary users is employed to achieve higher performance of detection, has been inspected. However, the primary challenge of cooperative sensing lays in its ability to detect the presence of licensed user quickly and accurately. In this paper, we have used UltraWideBand (UWB) to detect the presence of licensed users and transmit the sensing information among the nodes of the network. UWB has the capability of transmitting data at a very high rate. It is unique in co-existence capability with narrow band systems. Here, we have shown that the detection probability of licensed user is improved by means of transmitting the spectrum sensing information via UWB. We also have analyzed the throughput of the proposed technique and compared the result with existing sensing method.
