In this paper, we propose an intelligent e-commerce meta-search engine which integrates distributed e-commerce sites and provides a unified search to the sites. The meta-search engine performs the following functions: (1) the user is able to create a category-based user query, (2) by using the WordNet, the query is semantically refined for increasing search accuracy, and (3) the meta-search engine recommends an e-commerce site which has the closest product information to the user’s search intention by matching the user query with the product catalogs in the e-commerce sites linked to the meta-search engine. An experiment shows that the performance of our model is better than that of general keyword-based search.

Recently, the use of Unreal Engine for animation production is increasing. In this situation, Unreal Engine's 'MetaHuman Creator' helps make it easier to apply realistic characters to animation. In this regard, we tried to produce animations using 'MetaHuman' and verify the effectiveness and differences from the animation production process using only Maya software. To increase the efficiency of the production process, the animation process was made with Maya software. We tried to import animation data from Unreal Engine and go through the process of making animations, and try to find out if there are any problems. And we tried to compare animations made with realistic 'MetaHuman' characters and animation works using cartoon-type characters. The use of the same camera lens in realistic character animations and cartoon character animations produced based on the same scenario was judged to be the cause of the lack of realistic animation screen composition. The analysis revealed that a different approach from the existing animation camera lens selection is required for the selection of the camera lens in the production of realistic animation.

This study was intended to compare the effectiveness of the Savvy search and Metacrawler in terms of the total number of relevant documents retrieved, precision, recall, and the number of deadlines. In addition, this study measured whether the Meta-search engine and general web search engines retrieved different web documents. As a result, Savvy search produced a higher precision and recall as compared with motacrawler search engine while the metacrawler had lower deadlines ration than savvy search, Also, Meta search engine was more effective than the general web search engine, The results show that the hybrid methodology of integrating a variety of web search engines can help solve retrieval effectiveness problems on the Internet.

Meta search engines have been used as the first engine because they let users several search engines at once for their queries and give them the search results. The purpose of this study is to examine the features and functions of 17 meta search engines in order that it helps users select and execute effective searches on meta search engines. Each selected engine is analyzed based on the criteria evaluating both meta search engines and general search engines. The results show that each meta search engine has its own characteristics while there are common features among them. It is expected that the results of this study will help users utilize meta search engines and provide meta search engine designer basic ideas.

It is important to maintain on operational availability of aircraft during wartime. The KF-16 fighter, the backbone of the ROKAF (Republic Of Korea Air Force), has a single engine. Therefore, the engine has a critical influence on operational availability. The purpose of this study is to estimate optimal levels of spare part inventories concerning both engines and modules. That is provided by linear programming methods utilizing a developed meta-model. For drawing out the meta-model, we develop a simulation model which can consider wartime demands. In the previous study, $2^k$ factorial design method is used to check the influence of each independent variable. That method requires relatively many scenarios because every extreme value combination of independent variables should be checked. However, this study adopts NOLH (Nearly Orthogonal Latin Hypercube) as an experimental design. By adopting NOLH, this study increases not only efficiency but also accuracy. That is proven by comparing the validity of the developed meta-model on both experimental designs. This study also utilizes the OptQuest simulation tool in ARENA to derive the optimal level of spare stocks. By comparing the result of OptQuest to that of the developed meta-model, the validity of this study is secured.

The decision method for the selection of search engine and the number of returned documents for meta search engine proposed in this paper could provide a solution to reduce network traffic and to maintain the precision ratio. The experiments are performed to evaluate the proposed scheme using currently popular search engines and most frequently used queries.

Considering the characteristics of industrial machines that lack vehicle-induced wind, forced convection by a cooling fan is mostly required. Therefore, numerical analysis of an engine room is usually performed to examine the cooling performance in the room. However, most engine rooms consist of a number of parts and components at specific positions, leading to high costs for numerical modeling and simulation. In this paper, a new methodology for three-dimensional computer-assisted design simplification was proposed, especially for the pile of components and parts at the engine room outlet. A porous media model and regression analysis were used to derive a meta-model for imitating the flow rate reduction at the outlet by the pile. The results showed that the fitted model was reasonable considering the coefficient of determination. The final numerical model of the engine room was then used to simulate the velocity distribution by changing the mass flow rate at the outlet. The results showed that both velocity distributions were significantly changed in each case and the meta-model was valid in imitating the flow rate reduction by some piles of components and parts.

Caching in meta-search engines can improve the response time of users' request. We describe the cache scheme in our meta-search engine in terms of its architecture and operational flow. In particular, we propose a popularity-driven cache algorithm that utilizes popularities of queries to determine cached data to be purged. The popularity is a value that represents the normalized occurrence frequency of user queries. This paper presents how to collect popular queries and how to calculate query popularities. An empirical performance evaluation of the popularity-driven caching with the traditional schemes (i.e., least recently used (LRU) and least frequently used (LFU)) has been carried out on a collection of real data. In almost all cases, the proposed replacement policy outperforms LRU and LFU.

Retrieving relevant information well corresponding to the user`s request from web is a crucial task of search engines. However, most of conventional search engines based on pattern matching schemes to queries have a limitation that is not easy to provide results corresponding to the user`s request due to the uncertainty of queries. To overcome the limitation in this paper, we propose a framework for knowledge-based semantic meta-search engines with the following five processes: (i) Query formation, (ii) Query expansion, (iii) Searching, (iv) Ranking recreation, and (v) Knowledge base. From simulation results on english-based web documents, we can see that the Proposed knowledge-based semantic meta-search engine provides more correct and better searching results than those obtained by using the Google.
