This study derives the critical success factors through discussion of expert group in operation stage of ERP system that is suggested by the prior study. Relative importance of the derived critical success factors are analyzed using Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). In the first layer of the hierarchy, organizational/ human resource factors are appeared to be the most important factors. In the second layer of the hierarchy, CEO support is evaluated as the most important success factor considering the weight of the 1st layer of the hierarchy followed by process optimization, change management, support of the operation department, and maintenance of process innovation organization. This study suggests that, in order to maximize the introducing effect, continuous support and attention of management is not the only requirement. Proper change management to handle the internal environment change caused by the introduction of the ERP system, support of operation department dedicated to ERP system, and separate department for continuous innovation of process are also required.

Context awareness technologies are based on efficient sharing of environment information of ubiquitous sensors in everyday life, and users require this awareness technologies to get quality of services. However, the application has been restricted due to its varieties of sensors and many different methods of communications. Therefore, IEEE 1451 standard has been published to interface between sensors and network layer. But it does not connect to a middleware because IEEE 1451 is for transducer standards. This paper presents a transducer and application interface protocol which connect to the context-aware middleware by defining a protocol to obtain context information using XML. We have implemented a bridge health monitoring system and railroad monitoring system in which different sensors and users' application are used to prove the efficacy of proposed interface protocols.

Digital accredited certificates issued under the Digital Signature Act provide essential functionalities for online service, so certificates are used for various services such as online banking, e-government. However, certificates can be stolen by hackers and users need to install separate software to use certificates. Recently FIDO, which aims to solve the problems of password-based authentication and the lack of interoperability between authentication methods, is used for biometric authentication and TrustZone, hardware-based secure environment, is used for safe smartphone usage. In this paper, the new service method is suggested which uses FIDO-based biometric authentication and stores certificates in TrustZone. This method can not only improve security and convenience but also be easily applied to the service because it uses built-in functionalities of new smartphones such as biometric sensors and TrustZone. It is expected that people can use certificates in a safe and convenient way with this method.

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and many countries make an effort to conserve and utilization of animal genetic resources to prepare for our unpredictable future. In order to protect the customer and the producer from the animal diseases and unjust distribution, many country seek to appropriate solution. Among the solutions, RFID technology can be used as a basic technology, since this technology can be applied in the conservancy and utilization of animal genetic resources, object management for improved animal and traceability of animal's distribution flow. There are two main issues in making the efficient RFID environment. The first issue is the standardization of code system for object identification. International Organization for Standard (ISO) published the standard which regulates RFID of animal (ISO 11784 and ISO 11785). Based on these standards, many countries have tried to establish their national standard. In Korea, National Institute of Animal Science (NIAS) playa main role in establishing the standard of object identification code based on ISO 11784. Even though the standard format of object's identification is well established, the RFID system may not be operated well without the standardization of RFID network and related equipment. In Korea, National Internet Development Agency of Korea (NIDA) has proposed the RFID Network at 2006, which can be applied in the different kind of system at each phase. But, the implementation case of this RFID Network does not reported yet, since many company or agency who introduce RFID technology, implemented as an isolated individual system. In our study, we show that RFID network can be utilized for any kind of system at each phase, and propose the improvement point in order to be widely used.
