  • Norwegian technology related to preinvestigations, planning, design and construction of large underground caverns is wellknown worldwide. However, so far this technology is only slightly verified through scientiffic reports and documentation. The "Rock cavern stadium" research program is an interdisciplinary program related to the ongoing building and future use of Gjovik Olympic Subsite which is the largest cavern in the world for public purposes with a span of 61 meters and a height of 25 meters. The estimated budget for this program is about USD 4 million which is made possible through grants from The Royal Norwegian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research as well as through contributions from Norwegian and Swedish companies that are participating. The program is carried out in collaboration with The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian Institute of Technology. The Norwegian Geotechnical Institute and The Eastern Norway Research Center. The research program will continue until the end of 1994 to ensure that input comes from a full period of use in this stadium with different activities like exhibitions, conferences, concerts etc being included as verification through full-scale measurements and observations. The research program has five subtasks. Three of these are related to subjects like Energy consumption. HVAC installations. Fire safety design, Engineering geology and Rock mechanics, Environmental aspects. The fourth subtask is concerned with the collection of basic data, results and experience from these three subtasks to provide a basis for national Norwegian guidelines related to this interdisciplinary subject area. The guidelines will first be presented as a manual for planning and engineering purposes. The realization of this research program is a unique opportunity to enhance the expertise that has been acquired from this cavern stadium. By involving research in this extraordinary project from the excavation and building phase to its subsequent use. this will give the participants know-how and expertise which is very much in demand internationally. The coordination of the international activities between the participants as well as preparation of participations and presentations in international conferences and symposium are included in the fifth task of this national research program.

  • In the present, as standards has been considered as a strategic method, the numerous conferences and seminars related to standards have been held. The limitation, however, of time and space and the absence of the associated schedule information prevents people who need information from them horn participating in the all seminars and conferences in which they want to take part. furthermore after having attended there, it is difficult to obtain the well-structured information about the seminar or conference, unless he or she meet the authorities concerned or the person who presided a particular seminar or conference, and in the case of a large-sized seminar, there is the problem that he or she present himself at a place cant participate in the other seminar or conference at the same time. To resolve these problems, we want to implement Virtual Seminar Service System on Web in order to provide moving picture including data related to standards with the public regardless of time and space. This paper describes the related based-technologies to develop web-based virtual seminar service system also including the basic design and the result of implementation.

  • SIP(Session Initiation Protocol)-based centralized conference service model has advantage of easiness in conference management and service as compared to other models. However when media server which is one of the components of conference server is included in the conference server, this model shows disadvantage of high server work load with increasing numbers of conferences and participants. In this paper, to improve this problem, we have suggested and implemented a new conference service model in which an UA(User Agent) who first make the conference acts as a media server instead of conventional conference server and, the conference server with conference event package takes only part of management of the conference and its participants. Therefore, many more conferences can be held and managed compared to the conventional centralized conference service model because load of the conference server decreases in our suggested model md, furthermore the participants needs only make SIP call connections to the UA who first make the conference for establishing media session.

  • In multi-document summarization by means of salient sentence extraction, it is important to remove redundant information. In the removal process, the similarities and differences of sentences are considered. In this paper, we propose a method for multi-document summarization which extracts salient sentences without having redundant sentences by way of cohesive term clustering method that utilizes co-occurrence Information. In the cohesive term clustering method, we assume that each term does not exist independently, but rather it is related to each other in meanings. To find the relations between terms, we cluster sentences according to topics and use the co-occurrence information oi terms in the same topic. We conduct experimental tests with the DUC(Document Understanding Conferences) data. In the tests, our method shows better performance of summarization than other summarization methods which use term co-occurrence information based on term cohesion of document or sentence unit, and simple statistical information.

  • Case management is becoming increasingly more important in the field of social welfare. The purpose of this study was to examine the practice of case management at community child centers and to identify factors influencing their performance. In addition, this study also analysed the performance level of case management at each stage and the factors influencing the level at each stage. For the purpose of this study, data obtained from about 181 community child center workers in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongsangnamdo were analyzed. According to the results of the analysis, in Model 1 which represents the category of socio-demographic and personal factors, three factors namely gender, experience in case management, and interpersonal skills were found to be significantly influential and they have an explanatory power of 21.5%. Under the category of organizational factors in Model 2, four factors were found to be influential: experience in case management, interpersonal skills, availability of case management guidelines, and holding case conferences. These factors account for 33% explanatory power, 11.5% higher than that of Model 1. In Model 3 which represents the third category of community network literacy, three factors namely interpersonal skills, availability of case management guidelines, and ability to utilize networks were found to influence case management at community child centers, and they have an explanatory power of 43.4%, 10.4% higher than that of Model 2. For the practice of social welfare, these findings have the implication that community child center workers need to improve their interpersonal skills by cultivating communication skills, collaborative problem-solving skills, conflict-management skills, and other relevant skills. Furthermore, it is necessary to provide specific guidelines for case management, to have regular case conferences, to establish a community network, and to reinforce cooperation and mutual support among institutions within the network.

  • We established a separation scheme to distinguish galaxies from stars with the aid of AKARI/FIS color-color (CC) diagrams. In all the combinations of CC diagrams we can distinguish two separate clouds. It was shown that in all cases one of them contains more than 95% of galaxies and the other one, in most cases, consists in more than 80% of stars (Pollo et al., 2010). Currently we are looking into more detailed classifications. We are especially interested in separating different morphological types of galaxies, mainly within spiral galaxies. Moreover, we study the properties of infrared galaxies.

  • InfraRed Survey Facility (IRSF) is our facility for near-infrared (NIR) observation located at South African Astronomical Observatory. The NIR camera SIRIUS on the 1.4m telescope provides three $7.7^{\prime}{\times}7.7^{\prime}$ images in the J ($1.25{\mu}m$), H ($1.63{\mu}m$), and $K_S$ ($2.14{\mu}m$) bands simultaneously with a pixel scale of 0.45". IRSF has three unique capabilities, which are suitable for follow-up observations of AKARI-selected objects. Several synergistic studies with AKARI are in progress from stars to galaxies. We introduce advantages of the above unique capabilities of IRSF for further synergistic studies between AKARI and IRSF.

  • AKARI's all-sky survey resolves the far-infrared emission in many thousands of nearby galaxies, providing essential local benchmarks against which the evolution of high-redshift populations can be measured. This review presents some recent results in the resolved galaxy populations, covering some well-known nearby targets, as well as samples from major legacy surveys such as the Herschel Reference Survey and the JCMT Nearby Galaxies Survey. This review also discusses the prospects for higher redshifts surveys, including strong gravitational lens clusters and the AKARI NEP field.
