The purpose of this paper was to evaluate performance of information system for one national university hospital in order to identify the factors influencing performance of information system. KPIs were collected for 181 users of information system (41 doctors, 104 nurses, and 11 medical supporting staffs, and 25 administrative staffs) from August 10 to 24, 2010. The results were as follows: Average performance score for input layer was 3.16; average performance score for process layer was 3.35; and average performance score for business layer was 3.57. Scores for input layer was lowest for nurses and scores for process and business layer were lowest for doctors. Results from the path analysis showed that system quality, demographic characteristics, and security significantly influenced management process but these factors except demographic characteristics influenced user satisfaction; and management process also significantly influenced user satisfaction.

Recently, transport layer mobility supporting approaches based on SCTP, which is a new standard transport layer protocol, are proposed. In this paper, the handover performance and overheads of these transport layer mobility supporting approaches are compared to those of the traditional network layer mobility supporting approaches. Through the simulation results, it is shown that the handover performance of the transport layer mobility supporting approaches is better or at least similar to that of the plain MIPv6, which is the representative network layer mobility supporting approach. With respect to the amount of control packet, the transport layer approaches impose less overhead than any of the network layer approaches.

In this paper, we study the cross-layer design for the AMC/HARQ-based wireless networks, and propose a new dynamic transmission-mode selection scheme to improve system spectrum efficiency. In the proposed scheme, dynamic thresholds for transmission-mode selection in each packet transmission and retransmission are jointly designed under the constraint of the overall packet error rate. Comparing with the existing schemes, the proposed scheme is inclined to apply higher modulation order at the first several (re)transmissions, which corresponds to higher-rate transmission modes thus higher average system spectrum efficiency. We also extend the cross-layer design to MIMO (Multi-input Multi-output) communication scenarios. Numerical results show that the proposed new dynamic transmission-mode selection scheme generally achieves higher average spectrum efficiency than the conventional and existing cross-layer design.

Emerging applications in automation, medical imaging, traffic monitoring and surveillance need real-time data transmission over Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). Guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) for real-time traffic over WSNs creates new challenges. Rapid penetration of smart devices, standardization of Machine Type Communications (MTC) in next generation 5G wireless networks have added new dimensions in these challenges. In order to satisfy such precise QoS constraints, in this paper, we propose a new cross-layer QoS-provisioning strategy in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs). The network layer performs statistical estimation of sensory QoS parameters. Identifying QoS-routing problem with multiple objectives as NP-complete, it discovers near-optimal QoS-routes by using evolutionary genetic algorithms. Subsequently, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer classifies the packets, automatically adapts the contention window, based on QoS requirements and transmits the data by using routing information obtained by the network layer. Performance analysis is carried out to get an estimate of the overall system. Through the simulation results, it is manifested that the proposed strategy is able to achieve better throughput and significant lower delay, at the expense of negligible energy consumption, in comparison to existing WMSN QoS protocols.

We have demonstrated the characteristics on the variation of hole transporting layer in blue organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) using new blue fluorescent emitter. We fabricated two types of hole transporting layer structures that one is 4,4',4"-Tris(N-(2-naphthyl)-N-phenyl-amino)-triphenylamine (2-TNATA) of $600{\AA}$ as a hole injection layer, N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'- (2-napthyl)-(1,1'-phenyl)-4,4'-diamine (NPB) of $200{\AA}$ as a hole transporting layer and another device is NPB of $500{\AA}$ without the 2-TNATA. The devices without the 2-TNATA showed improved characteristic of the luminance and efficiency.

This paper proposes an efficient architecture of Inter layer up-sampling in decoder for SVC(scalable video coding). A register bank for horizontal and vertical up-sampling and interpolation units are designed, by introducing the proposed architecture, 41% memory bandwidth is reduced compared to JSVM. For real-time operation for HD 6 layer decoder having CIF, SD, HD resolution for CGS layer, the hardware is designed to operate at 127MHz. The gate count is about 3000.

이질적인 환경 (Heterogoneous Environments)에서 실시간 멀티미디어 서비스가 확산됨에 따라 비디오 데이터로 인한 트래픽이 통신망을 오가는 트래픽의 대부분을 차지하게 되었다. 이에 통신망 자원의 효율화를 위해서 사용자의 통신망 환경을 고려한, 비디오 데이터 스케러블 전송이 필요하다. 이를 위해 MPEG-2에서는 비디오 데이터를 Base layer와 Enhancement layer로 나누는 layered coding 방식을 채택할 수 있게 하여 낮은 대역폭인 경우는 Base layer만 보내고 높은 대역폭인 경우 Base layer와 Enhancement layer를 모두 보내는 방식을 사용할 수 있도록 하였으나, 실질적으로는 Base layer만으로도 데어터 량이 많아 이를 적용하는 인코더는 현재 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 Base layer를 MPEG-2비디오 데이터 스케러블 전송에 맞게 초당 디스플레이하는 프레임 수를 동적으로 조정하는 temporal layered coding을 통해 사용자 통신망 환경에 맞게 비디오 데이터를 보내는 방법을 제안한다.

MPEG-2 는 Layered Coding방식을 채택하여 하나의 base layer와 4개의 enhancement layer로 이루어져 있으나 동영상 재생을 위해 필요한 최소한의 layer인 base layer 만으로도 데이터 양이 많기 때문에 인터넷 환경에 적용하기가 어렵다. 이에 base layer를 다시 세분화된 layer로 나누기 위해 인코딩 중에는 또는 인코딩 결과로 만들어지는 MPEG-2 Video steam 의 하부 구조인 블록층에 존재하는 8$\times$8블록의 AC 계수들을 layering한다. Layered된 base layer의 데이터는 통신망 및 단말기의 QoS에 따라 서로 다른 전송 채널을 통해 서버에서 클라이언트 디코더로 전송된 후 디코더에 실시간적으로 병합한 후 재생된다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 기법을 이용하여 기존에 encoding MPEG-2 Video steam의 AC계수를 layering할 경우에 QoS에 따라 가변적으로 데이터 양을 서버 쪽에서 조절할 수 있었고, 통신 선로 상에서 이동하는 데이터 양의 원래의 MPEG-2 Video steam 을 이용했을 때보다 인코딩 중에 블록을 변환하면 51% 정도 감소하고 인코딩 되어진 데이터를 이용했을 경우에는25%정도 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

날로 커져가는 3D 모델을 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 노력으로 압축처리 방법들이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 3D 모델의 메쉬를 Layer로 분할하여 Vertex Layer와 Triangle Layer를 생성 후, 삼각형들을 몇가지 연산코드로 분류하여 압축(compression)하는 방법을 제안한다. Triangle Layer는 기본 정점으로부터 연결된 선분의 정점들로 이루어진 Vertex Layer의 쌍을 이용하여 만들어진다. 이 Triangle Layer에 해당 되는 삼각형들의 연결 정보를 제안한 연산코드로 분류하고, 이것을 엔트로피 코딩하여 3D 모델을 압축한다. 이 기법은 삼각형의 형태를 기준으로 한 개나 두 개의 삼각형을 하나의 연산코드로 분류하거나 삼각형의 연결 상황에 따라 하나의 연산코드로 분류하여 연결정보를 표현한다. 복원(decompression)시에는 연산 코드를 이용하여 삼각형의 연결정보를 뽑아내면 원 상태의 3D 모델을 획득할 수 있다. 이 방법은 연결 정보를 무손실 압축하는 방법으로, 지금까지 제안된 압축기법과 비교할 때, 간단하면서도 월등한 압축 효과를 볼 수 있다.

We suggest a viewing angle control mode of liquid crystal display(LCD) with additive thermal controllable optical layer [TCOL], which composed of homeotropically or homogenously well aligned LC layer and patterned hating lines on a substrate. In this system, LCD modes with wide viewing angle characteristics can be used as a main panel.
