There are two approaches, HA(Home Agent)-based and FA(Froegn Agent)-based mulicasting in mobile computing environments based on mobile IP. If we consider efficiency of routing and bandwidth the FA-based model is better than the HA-based model. But in the case of a MH(Mobile Host) moves frequently it shows bad connection durability because of join and graph delays. To overcome this and to support effective mobile multicasting we propose an extended FA-based multicast routing. In our model previous FA for wards multicast packets to MH. while new FA processes a jion request from MH. That is in general case our model supports FA-based multicasting for efficiency but it provides unicast-based mulicasting for connection durability when MH moves to new FN(Roreign Network). To evaluate our model, we analyze connecction durability, bandwidth, overheads and routing sosts in many situations and compare with previous works.

This study examines the effect of direct investment in Asia on firm value for nonfinancial firms listed on KRX between 2006 and 2015. We also explore whether the mediating effects of cashholdings the relationship between direct investment in Asian markets and corporate value. Recently, companies are increasing their cash holdings for risk management. Cashholdings are causing agent problems, which has a negative impact on corporate value. In this case, when the company conducts active investment activities such as foreign direct investment, it is possible to supply the appropriate funds in a timely manner, thereby cashholdings increase the possibility of success of foreign direct investment and alleviate the agent problem of cash holdings. For the analysis, the number of directly invested firms in Korean listed firms is used as the explanatory variables for the Chinese and Vietnamese markets where foreign direct investment is the most active, and cash holding is set as the moderating variable. As a result, direct investment in China and Vietnam showed a positive (+) relationship with firm value, and cashholdings have a positive the relationship between foreign direct investment and firma value. The implications of this paper are as follows. First, it is suggested that the direct value of direct investment can be enhanced the relationship between direct investment and firm value in Asia. In addition, it can be suggested that cash holdings play a role of effective investment supply in firms that implement foreign direct investment, positively affecting corporate value.

In an environment where English is a foreign language, English learners can use AI voice chatbots in English-speaking practice activities to enhance their speaking motivation, provide opportunities for communication practice, and improve their English speaking ability. In this study, we propose a teaching-style AI voice chatbot that can be easily utilized by lower elementary school students and enhance their learning. To apply the Teachable Agent system to language learning, which is an activity based on tense, context, and memory, we proposed a new method of TA by applying the Teachable Agent to reflect the learner's English pronunciation and level and generate the agent's answers according to the learner's errors and implemented a Teachable Agent AI chatbot prototype. We conducted usability evaluations with actual elementary English teachers and elementary school students to demonstrate learning effects. The results of this study can be applied to motivate students who are not interested in learning or elementary school students to voluntarily participate in learning through role-switching.

By using wireless terminal, the number of users who wish to use the multimedia service like the Internet as well as Short Message Services and voice service has increased dramatically over the last years. We propose the method that improves Mobile IPv4 (MIPv4) Regional Registration in wireless mobile networks to decrease traffic's transmission delay and message generation compared with an existing method We design the scheme in MIPv4 environments that a packet do not pass through the home agent transmitted from correspondent node to mobile node, if a mobile node moves to other mobility agent. Simulation results show that the proposed method significantly reduces the expenses for registration and delivering packet.

차세대 인터넷은 유.무선이 혼합된 초고속의 네트워크 구조에서 사용자가 시간과 장소에 관계없이 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스를 제공받을 수 있는 환경으로 변화될 것이다. 이 변화에 잘 대응하기 위해서는 이동하는 사용자에게 효율적으로 멀티캐스팅을 지원할 필요가 있다. Mobile IP 기반의 이동 네트워크 환경에서 멀티캐스팅을 지원하기 위만 연구는 크게 HA(Home Agent)기반 방식과 FA(Foreign Agent)기반 방식으로 연구되어 왔다. HA기반 방식은 데이터 전송 경로의 비최적화, 비효율적인 데이터 중복 전송의 문제를 가지고, FA기반 방식은 빈번한 멀티캐스트 전송 트리의 재구성으로 인한 오버헤드의 문제를 내포하고 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 MH(Mobile Host)의 잦은 핸드오프(handoff) 문제를 해결하고, 멀티캐스트 전송 트리의 재구성으로 인한 오버헤드를 줄이는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 계층적 트리 구조의 도메인을 구성하고 MFA(Multicast Forwarding Agent)와 홉 카운터로 정의된 MFA의 서비스 범위를 사용한다. 또한, MFA를 Root FA들 중에서 선택함으로써 멀티캐스트 전송 트리 재구성의 회수를 줄여 Mobile IP를 이용하는 MH에게 효과적인 멀티캐스팅을 제공한다.

무선 네트워크를 통해 인터넷에 접속하는 사용자들이 늘어나면서 이동 호스트들에게 무선 서비스를 제공하는 HA(home agent)나 FA(foreign agent)의 부하 또한 증가하고 있다. 특히 지역적 등록방법(regional registration)에서처럼 하나의 GFA(gateway foreien agent)가 도메인내의 모든 이동 호스트들을 담당할 경우 부하의 집중으로 인해 혼잡이나 지연 등의 문제가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 이 논문에서는 모든 FA들이 GFA의 기능을 가지는 분산된 네트워크 환경을 제안하고 이러한 환경에서 signaling 비용을 미리 계산하여 비용이 적은 쪽으로 위치등록을 수행함으로써 전체 signaling 비용을 줄이는 새로운 위치 관리 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 제안하는 방법이 효율적임을 증명하기 위해 signaling 비용 계산을 위한 비용함수를 제시하고 성능 평가를 통해 제안하는 방법이 유저의 이동 특성과 네트워크 환경에 따라 전체 signaling 비용을 줄이는 것을 보여준다.

Internet망에서 mobile comupting에 대한 관심은 커져하고 있다. Mobile IP는 노드의 이동성을 지원하는 방법 중의 하나이다. 그렇지만 handoff 하는 과정에서 발생하는 패킷 손실 때문에 신뢰성의 문제가 발생한다. 게다가 mobile node(MN)와 foreign agent(FA)사이가 무선 링크인 경우 패킷 손실은 더욱 심각하다. TCP/IP는 고정된 네트워크에서 고안되어진 것이기 때문에 기존의 TCP/Mobile IP가 무선에는 부적합하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서 TCP/Mobile IP와 application사이에 midddleware로써 mobile agen(MA)를 사용하는 것을 제안했다. TCP mobile agent(TCP MA)을 여러 application에서 TCP 성능의 향상을 위해 제안했다. TCP MA는 FA와 MN를 위해 행동하고, 그리고 MN의 현재 위치에 상관없이 MN에 결과를 보낸다. 이러한 TCP MA는 handoff 동안에 발생하는 패킷 손실을 감소시킨다.

To cope with the Internet host mobility in a cellular network environment, we propose an adaptive mobility management scheme that can compensate drawbacks of Mobile IP. We also propose protocol that supports the proposed scheme. Our proposed scheme determines foreign agent care-of addresses adaptively according to user mobility. Consequently, it is different from other proposals for micro mobility, which statically assign the gateway in the domain as a foreign agent. Using such a scheme, it is possible to effectively meet the users demands for different service qualities in the various environments considered in the cellular network and to reduce signaling overhead due to frequent handovers occurred in Mobile IP. The performance of the proposed scheme is examined by simulation. The results of simulation show that the proposed scheme can provide relatively stable points of attachment to the mobile node.

This paper investigates how the agent specificity of economic infrastructure-related public company proceeds in overseas investments. At first this paper examines general features focused on investment region, project type, starting year, and then analyzes overseas investments based on specific cases with three classifications which are composed of special consulting type that do not accompany capital investment, FDI type, and type of overseas energy resources development that go with capital investment and business risk. Finally nationality issues that is generated by agent characteristics of infrastructure public company are interpreted in perspective of duality which is financial pressure and dependency of host county's position, and relationship with private capital of home country.

The Online business model for purchasing agent service is getting more popular. However, consumers perceive more risk when buying products from foreign online purchasing agents (FOPA) than from common online sellers (COS). This study focuses on finding out how consumers manage risk when they perceive risk and what different risk-reliever strategies they use when buying from high-risk FOPA and low-risk COS. This study has proved the following two. First, when consumers perceive risk at online purchasing, they tend to select risk-reliever strategies, such as the use of communication media, online assurance mark, seller's record, and secure payment to mitigate risk. With the application of those risk-reliever strategies, they built trust with the seller. Second, risk-perception of FOPA influences usage of communication media and check of online assurance mark more strongly than that of COS. On the contrary, risk-perception of COS influences the check of seller record more strongly than that of FOPA. This study helps to explain why FOPA is proliferating, despite its inherent high risk due to the fact that buyers and sellers are separated in time and space and that buyers and sellers have different social and cultural backgrounds. This study also helps managers of E-commerce to relieve consumer's risk-perception and to build trust.
