  • 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템을 설계하고 개발하기 위한 방법들 중 하나로서, 최근 다중 에이전트 모델을 이용하는 방식이 연구되었다. 다중 에이전트 모델을 이용함으로써 얻을 수 있는 장점도 있지만, 다중 에이전트 모델로는 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템이 가지는 고유한 특성을 완벽히 기술하기는 부족한 면이 있다. 예를 들어, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템에서 어떤 서비스를 제공하기 위하여 여러 컴퓨팅 요소들이 협업을 해야 할 때, 이러한 협업 조직을 효과적으로 표현하기 어렵다. 즉, 다중 에이전트 모델에서는 이러한 협업 조직의 동적인 생성과 소멸, 그리고 동적인 조직의 구성방식과 서비스를 제공하기 위한 조직 내에서의 또한 조직들 간의 협업 방식을 기술하기가 쉽지 않다는 것이다. 게다가 대부분의 다중 에이전트 모델들은 시스템을 설계하는 것만을 고려할 뿐 시스템의 개발은 개발자에게 전가하고 있다. 그러나, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템처럼 다양한 기종이 복잡하게 분산되어 있는 경우에는 설계만으로 실제 시스템을 개발을 하는 것은 쉬운 일이 아니다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 컴퓨팅 요소들의 협업 조직을 커뮤니티라 하고, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템을 그러한 커뮤니티에 기반하여 기술하는 고 수준의 추상화 모델을 제시하였다. 또한 이러한 고수준의 추상화 모델로부터 실제 시스템 개발을 이끌어 낼 수 있도록 하기 위하여 Model driven architecture 방식을 적용하여, 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅 시스템의 개발 과정을 정의하였다.

  • Locations of positioned nodes as well as gathered data from nodes are very important because generally multiple nodes are deployed randomly and data are gathered in wireless sensor network. Since the nodes composing wireless sensor network are low cost and low performance devices, it is very difficult to add specially designed devices for positioning into the nodes. Therefore in wireless sensor network, technology positioning nodes precisely using low cost is very important and valuable. This research proposes Cooperative Positioning System, which raises accuracy of location positioning and also can find positions on multiple sensors within limited times. And this research verifies this technology is excellent in terms of performance, accuracy, and scalability through simulation.

  • Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN) has become a kind of prevalent information systems to supplement or even substitute a traditional classroom face-to-face teaching method. In this paper, we investigate the impacts of types of courses, lecturers' instruction models and computer self-efficacy on the ALN effectiveness in teaching from lecturers' perspective. We conducted survey to professors in various faculties such as School of Computing, Faculty of Arts, Science, Business, Law and Engineering in the National University of Singapore. According to the responses from ninety-eight professors, instruction modes positively influence the usage of ALN; types of course and lecturers' computer-efficacy influence lectures' satisfaction of ALN in teaching. Both the usage of ALN and satisfaction of ALN positively influence the effectiveness of ALN. The results of this study fill the gap of ALN researches in education by examining it from lecturers' perspective and enable schools to improve their implementation of ALN systems based on our findings.

  • In study we analyze the network about the legislators in Korean National Assembly. We focused on 17th National Assembly since there were full of important changes in composition. Mutual cooperation is necessary to pass the bills beyond their given mission in legislation. In order to find out the relationship of legislators based on the introducing bills, total 5728 bills in 17th National Assembly, we used bipartite network projection. We can find who is a highly influential legislator and the difference between a ruling party and a main opposition party in aspects of cooperative behavior.

  • One major concern of applying Multipath TCP (MPTCP) to data delivery in heterogeneous wireless networks is that the utilization of asymmetric paths with diverse networking-related parameters may cause severe packet reordering and receive buffer blocking (RB2LOC). Although many efforts are devoting to addressing MPTCP's packet reordering problems, their sender-controlled solutions do not consider balancing overhead between an MPTCP sender and receiver, and their fully MPTCP mode cannot make MPTCP achieve a desired performance. This paper proposes a novel receiver-centric buffer blocking-aware data scheduling strategy for MPTCP (dubbed MPTCP-rec) necessitating the following aims: (1) alleviating MPTCP's packet reordering and RB2LOC problems, (2) improving the MPTCP performance, and (3) balancing load between the MPTCP sender and receiver. Simulation results show that the proposed MPTCP-rec solution outperforms the existing MPTCP solutions in terms of data delivery performance in heterogeneous wireless networks.

  • This paper proposes a coordinated multi-point communication (CoMP) method with channel selection to improve performance of a macro user equipment (MUE) in a dense small-cell network environment in a building located within coverage of a macro base station (MBS). In the proposed CoMP method, in order to improve the performance of the MUE located in the building, A small-cell base station (SBS) selects a channel with lower interference to the neighboring MUE and transmits appropriate signals to the MUE requiring CoMP. Simulation results show that the proposed CoMP method improves the performance of the MUE by up to 164% and 51%, respectivley, compared to a random channel allocation based traditional SBS network and CoMP method.

  • VANET is one of the most developed technologies many people have considered a technology for the next generation. It basically utilizes the wireless technology and it can be used for measuring the speed of the vehicle, the location and even traffic control. With sharing those information, VANET can offer Cooperative ITS which can make a solution for a variety of traffic issues. In this way, safety for drivers, efficiency and mobility can be increased with VANET but data between vehicles or between vehicle and infrastructure are included with private information. Therefore alternatives are necessary to secure privacy. If there is no alternative for privacy, it can not only cause some problems about identification information but also it allows attackers to get location tracking and makes a target. Besides, people's lives or property can be dangerous because of sending wrong information or forgery. In addition to this, it is possible to be information stealing by attacker's impersonation or private information exposure through eavesdropping in communication environment. Therefore, in this paper we propose Privacy Assurance Architecture for VANET to ensure privacy from these threats.

  • At the time of discussing the 2022 revised curriculum, the demand for normalization of information education is increasing. This study was conducted on the case of the information curriculum for the upper elementary grades responding to such needs. For 14 6th grade students of Elementary School B in K Metropolitan City, 4 core areas of the information curriculum, including computing system, data, algorithm & programming, and digital culture, were covered through classes. Cooperative classes were conducted between students by using the cloud-based application according to the class. In addition, it was intended to supplement the curriculum by suggesting ideas for artificial intelligence education area, and to improve the density of research with additional investigation on foreign information education cases. However, the need for independent organization of the information curriculum was strongly confirmed in that the current curriculum for information classes lacked sufficient school hours and had to be operated in combination with other subjects in the form of a project for this case study. It is hoped that this study will serve as a small foundation for the establishment of the information curriculum for the upper elementary grades in the future.
