As the measures for solving problems of modern city and farming & fishing villages through mutual cooperation and complementation, this study aims to present an integrated rural area development model by changing the farming & fishing villages from a food production-focused space to a service space for the whole nation including urban residents, into the direction of creating new vitality and jobs in farming & fishing villages. In order to establish a service space that could increase the life quality and happiness of the people, this study presented the K-FARM framework types that would integrate and arrange total four themes such as rental farm, experience farm, stay farm, and management farm. In case when this K-FARM framework is applied to rural areas adjacent to cities, especially farming & fishing villages around innovative cities, there would be great effects such as expansion of exchanges between public institutions and local residents of innovative cities. Especially, the theme model classified into four types could be applied suitable for the characteristics of farming & fishing village development project district that is currently operated. Meanwhile, to realize the construction of K-FARM framework, on top of demand analysis of rental farm, it would be also necessary to additionally analyze the urban residents' demand for experience farm and management farm.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of critical infrastructure comprises a major pillar of maintenance management, shielding public safety and economic sustainability. Although SHM is usually associated with data-driven metrics and thresholds, expert judgement is essential, especially in cases where erroneous predictions can bear casualties or substantial economic loss. Considering that visual inspections are time consuming and potentially subjective, artificial-intelligence tools may be leveraged in order to minimize the inspection effort and provide objective outcomes. In this context, timely detection of sensor malfunctioning is crucial in preventing inaccurate assessment and false alarms. The present work introduces a sensor-fault detection and interpretation framework, based on the well-established support-vector machine scheme for anomaly detection, combined with a coalitional game-theory approach. The proposed framework is implemented in two datasets, provided along the 1st International Project Competition for Structural Health Monitoring (IPC-SHM 2020), comprising acceleration and cable-load measurements from two real cable-stayed bridges. The results demonstrate good predictive performance and highlight the potential for seamless adaption of the algorithm to intrinsically different data domains. For the first time, the term "decision trajectories", originating from the field of cognitive sciences, is introduced and applied in the context of SHM. This provides an intuitive and comprehensive illustration of the impact of individual features, along with an elaboration on feature dependencies that drive individual model predictions. Overall, the proposed framework provides an easy-to-train, application-agnostic and interpretable anomaly detector, which can be integrated into the preprocessing part of various SHM and condition-monitoring applications, offering a first screening of the sensor health prior to further analysis.

Simulation-based acquisition(SBA) is a new acquisition paradigm to deliver combat systems cheaper, faster, and better. ROK MND adopts the vision of SBA and is pushing ahead with dramatic reform. However, ROK MND does not develop the SBA architecture framework which facilitates the reuse of tools and techniques and data software code and algorithms among participants of collaborative environments. In this paper, we propose a conceptual Model of architecture framework for SBA. To do so, we analyse acquisition process of MND and propose the to-be operational view that describes fundamental concept for how Government, Industry, and Academia can collaborate and share information more effectively throughout the acquisition process. Furthermore, we identify the tools and techniques that supports the operational nodes, and propose technical view and all view, too. technical view compose of set of standards that can ensure interoperability among tools, techniques and data, and all view provide an overarching description of the architecture.

Recent aggressive threats by North Korea using small drones have heavily impacted on ROK(Republic of Korea) society and it seems to be agreed that counter-drone systems are required to protect our properties. ROK government has been investigating current counter-drone systems for national important facilities. However, there is no consensus standard to evaluate the systems. This paper is to propose a counter-drone system evaluation framework which is the outcome through RMA(Revolution in Military Affairs) thinking process. The RMA thinking process is currently well-implemented in ROK army to develop future military strategy. The proposed framework has 4 categories - threat analysis of North Korea small drones, convergence of detection, tracking and neutralizing systems, integrated operations and available experts and organization - which have corresponding criteria.

About 70% of the data generated on building construction sites consists of unstructured data, such as text, photos, videos, etc. However, the text data, which constitutes the largest proportion of unstructured data, has been restrictively utilized. When using standardized data to evaluate safety performance, there are a few difficulties in addressing issues such as lack of data, omissions, and errors. This copes with limitations on the practical evaluation of safety performance on building construction sites. Despite generating extensive text-centric documents, the previous researches on evaluating safety performance levels using unstructured data are still in its infancy. This study proposes a framework for evaluating the safety performance by preprocessing and refining text-based construction supervision documents. In this framework, relevant keywords related to safety performance are extracted from supervision documents, tokenized, and analyzed for association rules among keywords. Based on the results of the association rule analysis, keywords are selected, and the unsatisfactory or satisfactory level of safety performance is quantified using logistic regression analysis, considering the frequency of their occurrence. While the proposed framework focuses on quantifying the safety performance levels of construction sites, it can be expanded to implement integrated performance diagnostics on-site by linking with tools that evaluate diverse performance levels. This extension will allow for a comprehensive assessment of on-site performance. Furthermore, the framework can serve as a tool supporting practical and proactive inspections and responses of safety managers by utilizing unstructured data alongside the traditional approach focused on standardized data for safety performance assessment.

PURPOSES: The aim of this paper is developing user-oriented flexible Level Of Service (LOS) system for integrated asset management of various road facilities. It is essential to overcome limitations of general management systems which only focus on a type of assets (e.g. pavement, bridge etc.), and to serve a customizable LOS platform for smooth implementation and future improvement of the LOS considering various managerial environments of road agencies. METHODS: This study suggested a total framework of the LOS system as a process for self-development, operation and improvement of LOS system to conduct the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) in management process. In the process, we adopted user-customizable elements regarding asset definition, service index and evaluation method to match with the managerial environment of road agencies. In addition, we conducted an empirical study on the entire process of the suggested LOS system with a real road agency (Korea Express Highway) to prove applicability of the LOS system. RESULTS: From the empirical study, we confirmed that the suggested LOS system framework were suitable for development of customized LOS system. In addition, evaluation of asset conditions by LOS ratings, and quantification of vision achievement of the Korea Express Highway were successfully made. It would be the first trial in integrated management approach with LOS systems for numerous road facilities. CONCLUSIONS : It was recognized that easy application and sustainable improvement of the LOS was the most critical point in asset management. The suggested LOS system would be a powerful weapon as a managerial tool in preparing tight budget, aging infrastructures, and increased demands for more accountability both in Korea and internationally. Implementation of the LOS system needs to be expanded to the other infrastructure members to serve satisfactory level of service to taxpayers.

We see an energy fucused smart city evolution of the UK along with the project of "Smart London Plan (SLP)." A theoretical logic of business model innovation has been discussed and a research framework of evolving energy focused smart city is formulated. The starting point is the silo system. In the second stage, the private investment in smart meters establishes a basement for next stages. As results, the UK's smart energy sector has evolved from smart meter installation through smart grid to new business models such as water-energy nexus and microgrid. Before smart meter installation of the government, the electricity system was centralized. However, after consumer engagement plan has been set to make them understand benefits that they can secure through smart meters, the customer behavior has been changed. The data analytics firm enables greater understanding of consumer behavior and it helps energy industry to be smart via controlling, securing and using that data to improve the energy system. In the third stage, distribution network operators (DNOs)' access to smart meter data has been allowed and the segmentation starts. In the fourth stage, with collaboration of Ofwat and Ofgem, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary duplication of works and reduce interest conflict between water and electricity. In the fifth stage, smart meter and grid has been integrated as an "adaptive" system and a transition from DNO to DSO is accomplished for the integrated operation. Microgrid is a prototype for an "adaptive" smart grid. Previous steps enable London to accomplish a platform leadership to support the increasing electrification of the heating and transport sector and smart home.

In these days, the demand of users to extend available period of mobile systems is increased according as the functions of mobile systems have been varied and the use of multimedia application has been increased. This paper proposes an integrated power management framework that considers executed workload types for effective energy management. The conventional methods use DVFS technique for CPU and DPM technique for WNIC separately or simply combine them based on the assumption that they are orthogonal one another. However, the proposed mechanism determines the kind of workload under analysis of the characteristics of workloads incoming through a WNIC. The proposed method can reduce energy consumption of system level effectively by controlling CPU and WNIC to proper power mode based on analyzed characteristics of workload. The experimental result shows the proposed method reduces energy consumption by 9% for BE (Best Effort) workload, CBR (Constant Bit Rate) workload, and Interactive workload on average and by 16% to maximum when compared with the conventional methods which simply combine DVFS technique for CPU and DPM technique for WNIC.

The barbell squat is a fundamental physical exercise for strengthening the lower body and core muscles. It is an integral part of training and conditioning programs in sports, rehabilitation, and fitness. In this paper, we proposed a virtual test framework for squat exercises using a Smith machine to simulate joint torques and muscle forces, based on an integrated product-human model and motion synthesis algorithms. We built a muscular skeletal human model with boundary conditions modeling the interactions between the human body and a machine or the ground. To validate the model, EMG, external forces, and squat motions were captured through physical experiments by varying the foot position. A regression-based motion synthesis algorithm was developed based on the captured squat motions to generate a new motion for a given foot position. The proposed approach is expected to reduce the need for physical experiments in the development of training programs.
