  • Cultivation of winter cover crops and its soil utilization for summer main crops in slope upland is very important at the respects of diminution of soil erosion and non-point pollution source. The effects of cover crop, hairy vetch as no-tillage or conventional tillage on prevention of soil erosion and reduction of chemical nitrogen fertilization were investigated in the slope upland with whiter clover living mulch (partial tillage) in Suwon for three years and with rye (conventional tillage) in Hongcheon for two years, respectively. In Suwon, amounts of soil lost by rainfall runoff decreased as much as 90% by hairy vetch-no tillage (HV-NT), white clover-partial tillage (WF-PT) together with the decrease of rainfall runoff compared to winter fallow with conventional tillage (WF-CT). In addition, amounts of weed also decreased as much as 80-90% by HV-NT and WF-PT. Corn yield decreased much at the plot of WF-PT mainly due to competition for soil water and nutrients between clover and corn at the early corn growth stage. On the contrary, corn yield increased by HV-NT compared to WF-CT regardless of weed control. In Hongcheon, amounts of soil eroded during winter season before corn seeding were reduced as much as 95% by cultivation of hairy vetch and rye compared to winter fallow. Amount of soil eroded during waxy corn growing season was reduced as much as 98% by HV-NT compared to WF-CT. Also, soil incorporation of hairy vetch and rye as green manure with conventional tillage at corn seeding time could reduce soil erosion as much as 70% compared to no soil cover with conventional tillage. Ear yields of waxy corn were increased 10% higher at hairy vetch green manure (HV-CT) without nitrogen fertilizer, 20% higher at HV-NT with standard nitrogen fertilizer, respectively than WF-CT. But ear yields of waxy corn were decreased by rye green manure (R-CT) and HV-NT at the condition of no nitrogen fertilizer. It was concluded that hairy vetch was better as winter cover crop to reduce both soil erosion and chemical nitrogen fertilizer simultaneously in slope upland than other cover crops.

  • Workflow Management System (WFMS) is a software system to support an efficient execution, control and management of complex business processes. Since traditional commercial systems mainly focus on automating processes, they don't have methods for enhancing the task performer's efficiency. In this paper, we propose a new method of executing business processes more efficiently in that a whole process is scheduled considering the degree of the participants' workload. The method allows managing the largest constraints among constituent resources of the process. We utilize DBR scheduling techniques to develop the method. We first consider the differences between workflow process models and DBR application models, and then develop the modified drum, buffer and rope. This leads us to develop WF-DBR (WorkFlow-DBR) that can control the proper size of the task performers' work list and arrival rate of process instances. Use of WF-DBR improves the efficiency of the whole process as well as the participants' working condition. We then carry out a set of simulation experiments and compare the effectiveness of our approach with that of scheduling techniques used in existing systems.

  • Recently, many enterprises are introducing a workflow management system for the successful implementation of BPR(Business Process Reengineering). Proposed in this study is the workflow management system which has a light-weight component structure and an XPDL(XML Process Definition Language) file interpretation facility. The XPDL is the standard process definition exchange format developed by WfMC(Workflow Management Coalition). The major causes of inefficiency at current implementations of workflow management systems are the centralized workflow engine structure and the use of proprietary workflow definition format among most solutions. The proposed light-weight component structure in this study is the intermediate structure that takes the strength of both centralized and distributed workflow engines. And a prototype workflow system which uses an XPDL process definition file as input is developed through the thorough analysis of functional requirements.

  • The effects of DP finishing conditions including process technique and finishing agent on the mechanical properties and hand of cotton fabrics were investigated. 100% cotton fabrics were treated with NMA/DMDHEU and NMA/YF using wet-fixation and steam-fixation process. For comparison, conventional pad-dry-cure process was used with DMDHEU. After DP finishing, tensile and compressional resilience increased and bending hysteresis decreased, resulting in the improvement of dimensional stability of cotton fabric. WF and SF process rendered fabrics better shear properties, tensile energy, and compressional linearity and energy than PDC process. However, SF process produced fabrics with higher geometrical roughness than WF process. After DP finishing, primary hand values except Koshi increased, resulting in the increase of total hand value of cotton fabric.

  • Workflow Management Systems(WFMSs) is a software system that supports that specification and execution of business processes. In this paper, we proposed Multi Agent Based Workflow Modeling System which was implemented by Java application. The proposed workflow modeling system is divided into four agents; Session, Organization, Relevant Data. Invoked Application. We adapted ICN(Information Control Net) to check workflow model syntax, And the proposed modeling system provide the function to import/export WPDL which was defined in WfMC.

  • The $SiH_4$ soak step is widely used during the CVD Tungsten(W) plug deposition process on the Ti/TiN barrier metal to prevent the $WF_6$ attack to the underlayer metal. We tried to reduce or skip the time of $SiH_4$ soak process to optimize W-plug deposition process on Via. The electrical characteristics including Via resistance and the structure of W film are affected according to $SiH_4$ soak time. The elimination possibility of $SiH_4$ soak process was confirmed in the case of that the CVD W film grows on the stable Ti/TiN underlayer.

  • MODAPTS는 1966년 호주에서 MTM을 기초로 하여 개발되었으며, 이 시스템은 학습과 사용이 용이해서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 본 논문의 연구결과, MODAPTS의 시간단위는 동작구간의 쇠대치를 기준으로 하고 MTM의 동작시간을 합성하여 설정된 것이 증명되었으며, MTM의 동작시간은 "낮은 과업 표준(Low Task Standard)"을 기준으로 하였기 때문에 MODAPTS는 그 정확성에 대하여 검증을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 "높은 과업 표준(High Task Standard)"을 기준으로 하여 설정된 WF를 기초로 하여 MODAPTS의 구성과 정확성에 대하여 분석하였으며, "High Task MODAPTS"의 동작시간을 설정하였다. "High Task MODAPTS"(약칭 HITMAP)는 WF에 대한 정확도가 95%이상으로서 성과급용 표준시간 설정에 충분하므로 생산활동의 생산성을 측정하고 개선하는데 이바지할 것으로 기대된다.하므로 생산활동의 생산성을 측정하고 개선하는데 이바지할 것으로 기대된다.
