  • 웹 기반의 온라인 커뮤니티가 급속하게 증가함에 따라 사회적인 집단(커뮤니티)에서의 에이전트들은 안전하고 성공적인 상호거래를 위하여 서로의 신뢰도를 계산할 수 있는 형태의 믿음으로 알 수 있어야 한다. 본 논문은 온라인 커뮤니티에서 주어진 피드백으로 형성된 신뢰도의 계산적 모델을 제안한다. 신뢰도는 과거의 상호작용에 기반한 평가수치의 축적으로 정의할 수 있으며, 평균 신뢰도는 믿을 수 있는 값과 믿을 수 없는 값의 분포를 고려한 중심값으로 나타낸다. 온라인 커뮤니티에서의 명성, 신뢰도, 평균 신뢰도의 관계를 구체적인 예를 통하여 설명하며, 정의한 신뢰도 모델이 어떻게 온라인 커뮤니티에서 에이전트의 이성적인 거래를 가능하게 하는가를 보여준다.

  • The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is well suited to group decision making and offers numerous benefits as a synthesizing mechanism in group decisions. To date, the majority of AHP applications have been in group settings. In general, aggregation methods employed in AHP can be largely classified into two methods: geometric mean method and (weighted) arithmetic mean method. In a situation where there do not exist clear guidelines for selection between them, two methods do not always guarantee the same group decision result. Thus we suggest a simulation approach for building group consensus as a complementary tool, even when just group judgments are required. Without any efforts to make point estimates from individual diverse preference judgments, a simulation approach suggests the process how the individual preference judgments are aggregated into consensus, displaying possible disagreements as is natural in group members' different viewpoints.

  • 스마트 그리드 환경의 중요한 기본 구성 요소라 할 수 있는 스마트 미터기는 유틸리티 기관에게 실시간 전력소비 정보를 제공한다. 그렇지만, 스마트 미터기에 의한 전력 소비 데이터 집계 과정에서 정보 보안 및 사생활 보호를 보장하는 작업은 쉽지 않다. 최근 몇 년 동안 특정 소비자의 전력 소비 정보 추출을 방지하는 정보 보안 데이터 집계 프로세스에 관해 많은 연구가 있었으나 대부분 내부 공격자로부터 안전하지 않거나 데이터 무결성을 제공하지 못하고 있다. 게다가, bilinear pairing 또는 hash-to-point 작업이 스마트 미터기에서 수행되기 때문에 계산 비용이 만족스럽지 않은 상황이다. 현재 에너지 공급 회사, 신생 기업, 기술 개발자, 금융 기관, 국가 정부 및 학계에서 큰 관심을 끌고 있는 기술로 블록체인 또는 분산 원장 기술이 활발히 연구되고 있다. 특히, 전력 소비 네트워크와 관련하여 블록체인은 상당한 이점과 혁신을 가져올 것으로 소개되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 블록체인 기술을 사용한 분산된 전력 소비 정보 보호 및 보안 미터 데이터 집계 시스템을 제안하고, 손쉽게 구현할 수 있는 자바 프로그램을 나타낸다. 여기에서 스마트 미터 데이터는 계층적 Merkle 트리에 의해 집계 및 검증되며, 비잔틴 결함 허용 프로토콜에 의한 합의 방식이 지원된다.

  • In this study three types of aggregation methods such as the Estimate-Talk-Consensus (ETC) process, the Estimate-Talk-Estimate (ETE) process, and as a new approach the Estimate-Talk-Leader's Estimate (ETLE) process are compared to find which one of the three group processes considered is more effective than others. We, also, investigate the effect of group size on the performance of the group processes. Some experiments were conducted. It was shown that both the ETC and the ETLE processes performed better than the ETE process in approaching correct estimates in this judgmental task. As the size group increased, only the ETC and the ETC processes were shown to result in positive effect.

  • As web-based online communities are rapidly growing, the agents in the communities need to know their measurable belief of trust for safe and successful interactions. In this paper, we propose a computational model of trust resulting from available feedbacks in online communities. The notion of trust can be defined as an aggregation of consensus given a set of past interactions. The average trust of an agent further represents the center of gravity of the distribution of its trustworthiness and untrustworthiness. Furthermore, we precisely describe the relationships among reputation, trust and average trust through concrete examples showing their computations. We apply our trust model to online social networks in order to show how trust mechanisms are involved in the rational purchasing decision-making of buyers and sellers, and we summarize our simulation results.

  • The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is well suited to group decision making and offers numerous benefits as a synthesizing mechanism in group decisions. To date, the majority of AHP applications have been in group settings. One reason for this may be that groups often have an advantage over individual when there exists a significant difference between the importance of quality in the decision and the importance of time in which to obtain the decision. Another reason may be the best alternative is selected by comparing alternative solutions, testing against selected criteria, a task ideally suited for AHP. In general, aggregation methods employed in group AHP can be largely classified into two methods: geometric mean method and (weighted) arithmetic mean method. In a situation where there do not exist clear guidelines for selection between them, two methods do not always guarantee the same group decision result. We propose a simulation approach for building group consensus without efforts to make point estimates from individual diverse preference judgments, displaying possible disagreements as is natural in group members'different viewpoints.

  • Smart grid is a fully-automated, bi-directional, power transmission network based on the physical grid system, which combines sensor measurement, computer, information communication, and automatic control technology. Blockchain technology, with its security features, can be integrated with Smart Grids to provide secure and efficient power management and transmission. This paper dicusses the deployment of Blockchain technology in Smart Grid. It presents application areas and protocols in which blockchain can be applied to in securing smart grid. One application of each area is explored in detail, such as efficient peer-to-peer transaction, lower platform costs, faster processes, greater flexibility in power generation to transmission, distribution and power consumption in different energy storage systems, current barriers obstructing the implementation of blockchain applications with some level of maturity in financial services but concepts only in energy and other sectors. Wide range of energy applications suggesting a suitable blockchain architecture in smart grid operations, a sample block structure and the potential blockchain technicalities employed in it. Also, added with efficient data aggregation schemes based on the blockchain technology to overcome the challenges related to privacy and security in the smart grid. Later on, consensus algorithms and protocols are discussed. Monitoring of the usage and statistics of energy distribution systems that can also be used to remotely control energy flow to a particular area. Further, the discussion on the blockchain-based frameworks that helps in the diagnosis and maintenance of smart grid equipment. We have also discussed several commercial implementations of blockchain in the smart grid. Finally, various challenges have been discussed for integrating these technologies. Overall, it can be said at the present point in time that blockchain technology certainly shows a lot of potentials from a customer perspective too and should be further developed by market participants. The approaches seen thus far may have a disruptive effect in the future and might require additional regulatory intervention in an already tightly regulated energy market. If blockchains are to deliver benefits for consumers (whether as consumers or prosumers of energy), a strong focus on consumer issues will be needed.

  • We characterized a cDNA clone for a low molecular weight heat-shock protein (LMW HSP) from tobacco named TLHS-l. Nucleotide sequence determination of TLHS-1 identified an open reading frame for 159 amino acids. To the upstream of the open reading frame, a sequence of 124 nucleotides was determined. To the 3' downstream of the open reading frame, 212 nucleotides were identified which carried poly(A)-tail. Comparison of the open reading frame and hydropathy plot of TLHS-1 with the previously reported class I LMW HSPs showed high identity which classified TLHS-1 as a class I LMW HSP cDNA clone. We proposed that there are six consensus regions in class I LMW HSPs. RNA blot hybridization for TLHS-1 showed a typical expression pattern of heat-shock-inducible gene from three common tobacco cultivars. The open reading frame of TLHS-1 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. TLHS-1 protein confers thermal protection of other proteins in vitro and in vivo. Thermal induced aggregation of citrate synthase was reduced by purified TLHS-1 protein, and thermal death rate at $50^{\circ}C$ was reduced in E. coli expressing TLHS-l. From these data, we can expect that TLHS-1 acts as a molecular chaperone.perone.
