When the electrical appliances such as TVs and refrigerators become obsolete, they must be collected to the recycling centers to avoid environmental damages. The obsolete home appliances are first moved to the regional collection point; and then transported to one of the recycling centers. Each recycling center has a limited capacity; and some recycling centers can process only certain types of products. For given locations of the existing collection points and recycling centers, optimally assigning the obsolete home appliances of each type from each collection point to the recycling centers can significantly reduce the total transportation cost. We formulate this problem as an LP problem. We also present an approach to determine the locations of additional recycling centers in order to alleviate the over-utilization of the current recycling centers.

전 세계적으로 매년 약 5천만 톤의 전기 및 전자 폐기물이 발생하고 있는 상황에서 사물인터넷 디바이스가 2025년 약 750억 개에 달할 것으로 예상하고 있다. 그러나 사물인터넷 디바이스의 폐기 처리에 필요한 식별 기법에 대한 연구는 미미하다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 사물인터넷 디바이스의 재활용 가능률과 재생 가능률, 각 부품의 재활용률 및 재생률 등의 EoLT(End-of-Life Treatment) 정보를 포함한 식별자를 제안하며, 객체 식별자, 모바일 RFID 및 QR 코드로 구현한다. 구현된 객체 식별자와 모바일 RFID는 통신 네트워크를 통해 원격 서버와 연동하여 사용될 수 있고, 구현된 QR 코드는 스마트폰 앱을 통해 간단히 사용될 수 있다.

Most world-leading companies are aware that Environment and Health and Safety Issues are critical to the product quality and sustainable growth of their company. Environment-friendly efforts are seen in almost all aspects of business operations in an advanced nation. The Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR) and EU Directive on Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment(WEEE) attempt to tackle the growing quantity of WEEE by making producers responsible for the costs of the collection and recycling of their products at the End-of-Life(EOL). To implement the RFID-based integration system for EOL household electric appliances, such as washing machines and refrigerators, we analyzed the process of collecting, recovering, and recycling the EOL products returned from the distribution points. Furthermore, we proposed a soon-to-be process using the RFID-based integration system in the metropolitan recycling center(MRC). This soon-to-be process model is composed of RFID tags, readers, ALEs, applications and several devices. Through the introduction of the RFID-based integration system, we are expecting to see increasing traceability and real-time management for EOL products from customers, and also improvements in valuable reusable materials(VRM) produced from recycling processes.

Requirements management is one of the most essential activities of systems engineering in developing successful weapon systems. Particularly it is very important to consistently manage the traceability among the user requirements, the system requirements, the development specifications and the testing plans throughout the entire life cycle of the weapon system. However, the most part of requirements-related activities has centered around the functional and performance requirements but the integrated logistics support(ILS) requirement has not properly been managed. In this regard, a special attention is needed to develop and manage the ILS requirements. To do so, the ANSI/EIA-632 standard can be referred as a starting point since the ILS requirements of the weapon system under development are specified by the enabling products whereas the functional and performance requirements are covered by the end product requirements. Specifically, we first review and model several cases of previous weapon systems development, which reveals the problem of interest. Then, under the framework of ANSI/EIA-632, we study a hierarchical model for effectively managing ILS requirements by analyzing the features of ILS requirements. Finally, the value of the proposed model is discussed through the case study of electronic warfare equipment.

마그네슘은 최근 자동차 부품, 전자기기 케이스 등으로 사용량이 증가하고 있는데, 아직까지는 마그네슘 부품소재의 사용 수명이 다 되어 발생된 폐기물은 많지 않고, 다이캐스팅 공정 중에서 발생되는 스크랩이 대부분 재활용되며 용해과정에서 드로스(dross)와 슬러지(sludge) 및 기계 가공에서 발생하는 절삭칩 등도 일부 재활용되고 있다. 본 고에서는 최근 몇 년간의 국내 마그네슘의 수요, 생산현황 등 일반 현황을 먼저 살펴보고, 스크랩 발생량과 리싸이클링 현황 및 국내업체의 처리기술들을 조사하였다. 2010년에 국내에서 8,840톤의 마그네슘스크랩을 처리하였으며, 마그네슘 금속 재활용률은 32.5%로 추산되고, 재생마그네슘은 대부분 마그네슘 부품 다이캐스팅용으로 사용되었다.

Failure is an important part of engineering practice. Engineers utilize all of their competences and resources in order for their products or processes to meet the initial intention and purpose, and not to fail. However, the technological products sometimes end up with failure. The failure, in many cases, is related to non-technological factors or systems, not just limited to technological factors. Moreover, the evaluation of failure is performed by a variety of agents, including consumers, civic groups, government as well as professional groups. Thus, this study raises an issue that the existing concept of failure, which focuses on the operation of function, is not sufficient enough to properly cover the success or failure of technology required by the modern society. In the recent trends of engineering, new concepts and methods have been developed by expanding the traditional concept or introducing a new perspective of failure, so that engineering failure can be better understood in the mutual relationship between technology and society. This research attempts to suggest a methodology of how the failure of engineering can be utilized and properly combined in the major education, design education and engineering ethics education. Also, it aims to contribute to the quality improvement of engineering education to train engineers who can lead the society with responsibility as well as professional competence.

4차 산업혁명시대에 사물인터넷의 역할은 엔드단에서 데이터를 수집하여 빅데이터를 기술을 통하여 분석하여 미래나 행동을 분석하는 시대에 있다. 따라서 사물인터넷의 특성상 보안에 취약하여 경량화된 보안 프로토콜이 필요한 실정이다. 또한 사물인터넷의 보급은 우리 생활을 많이 변화시키고 있다. 전 세계 IT 기업들은 이미 사물인터넷 기반의 제품과 서비스에 주력하고 있으며 전자기기를 통한 통신 뿐 아니라 일반 사물과의 통신이 가능한 만물인터넷 시대로 가고 있다. 사람과 사람, 사람과 사물, 사물과 사물이 시간과 공간의 제약을 받지 않고 상호작용하면서 정보를 수집하고 분석해서 적용하고 있다. 생활은 점점 스마트해 지지만 이에 반해 개인정보 유출의 가능성은 더욱 커져서 이를 악용할 경우 사생활 침해를 넘어 생명을 위협하는 경우도 생길 것이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 개인정보 보호를 위협하는 보안 위협과 이에 대응하는 방안을 제안하여 4차산업혁명시대에 걸맞는 안전한 사물인터넷 환경을 구축하는데 필요한 대응책을 제시하였다.
