The Internet possesses not only features of mass media but also features of word of mouth communication. Communication channel is considered as one of most important variables in diffusion process. In this paper, we examined functionality of technology diffusion on the Internet through the use of meta tags. We have measured the coefficients of the Bass diffusion model which has been well-established in new product diffusion. This research shows that the Bass model is appropriate for describing technology diffusion on the Internet. The external influence as represented by the coefficient of innovation was found to be much smaller while the internal influence dominates in all meta tag diffusion. In meta tag diffusion, the internal influence as represented by the coefficient of imitation was increased at least twice bigger than that of consumer durables and information technology. Collecting necessary data in social sciences research can be a burden. This research shows that it can be alleviated through the use of software agents over the Internet. The research made use of software agents for collecting longitudinal data from publicly accessible archive such as Archive.org.

Since XML (eXtensible Markup Language) was highlighted as an information interchange format, there is an increasing demand for incorporating XML with databases. Most of the approaches are focused on RDB (Relational Databases) because of legacy systems. But these approaches depend on the database system. Countless researches are being focused on DTD (Document Type Definition). However XML Schema is more comprehensive and efficient in many perspectives. We propose a meta-model for XML Schema that is independent of the database. There are three processes to build our meta-model: DOM (Document Object Model) tree analysis, object modeling and storing object into a fixed DB schema using model mapping approach. We propose four mapping rules for object modeling, which conform to the ODMG (Object Data Management Group) 3.0 standard. We expect that the model will be especially useful in building XML-based e-business applications.

IT education in the colleges or universities and IT industry in producing IT manpower are urgently called for to balance its supply and demand. To correct this problem, Ministry of Information and Communication launched a program where demand-oriented curriculums are developed and applied to colleges. This paper proposes a design technique based on meta-model and software development process in developing curriculums and courses. This meta-modeling technique is proven to result in the extendibility, flexibility and quality improvement in software design. Therefore, we expect that proposed technique makes it possible to be improved in quality.

Objectives : The aim of this meta-analysis was to draw overall conclusions on the correlation between the organizational effectiveness (OE) of healthcare employees and related factors by summarizing recent studies and to provide a baseline for future research. Methods : A literature search for original articles published from 2005 to 2014 including doctoral theses and KCI journal articles was done in KERIS' RISS, etc. in a systematic manner. From 77 studies which met the inclusion criteria 190 effect sizes (ESs) were calculated for the analysis. A meta-analysis was done with CMA 3 (Biostat company, USA). Results : The overall ES was moderate for all, positively and negatively related factors. For all related factors, job characteristics, group-leader relations, personal and organizational characteristics had a moderate ES. The ES for work experiences was small. Conclusions : Although the results of this study were meaningful it is necessary to perform follow-up analyses (1) based on a longer data period and more articles, (2) including moderating variables with higher explanatory power and (3) adopting a study model with more specific and simplified variables.

XPDL is a XML-based language for process definition exchange that is proposed by WfMC. This paper propose a model which model XPDL document structure (Schema) using UML in order to define and to exchange workflow process, and make business flow understanding ease for inter-business cooperation. So, we define mapping rules in which map XPDL documents into UML class diagram and UML activity diagram. By these mapping rules, elements composing XPDL process meta-model are mapped into UML class diagram, and process activities are mapped into UML activity diagram. Also, we apply proposed mapping technique to model a workflow of (')Credit card state check system.(')

In this paper, a MetaSearch algorithm for navigational queries is presented. Previous MetaSearch algorithms focused on informational queries. They Eave a high score to an overlapped document. However, the overemphasis of overlapped documents may degrade the performance of a MetaSearch algerian for a navigational query. However, if a lot of result documents are from a certain domain or a directory, then we can assume the importance of the domain or directory. Various experiments are conducted to show the effectiveness of overlap of a domain and directory names. System results from TREC and commercial search engines are used for experiments. From the results of experiments, the overlap of documents showed the better performance for informational queries. However, the overlap of domain names and directory names showed the $10\%$ higher performance for navigational queries.

Recently, in the research on online environment such as e-commerce, and internet banking, the conceptual discussion about trust and risk in an effort to explain a user's behavior is briskly underway. Most of the research on trust and risk are setting up causal relationship without clearly establishing the relationship between trust and risk. Accordingly this study conducted a meta-analysis in order to consider the relationship between trust and risk and to take a look at the difference in causal relationship. This study includes a total of 18 research papers which are setting up the causal relationship between trust and risk in online environment among the research papers published in domestic academic journals since 2000. Result of the meta-analysis, showed that the effect size was -0.367 in the path from trust to risk; -0.131 in the path from risk to trust; -0.276 in the bidirectional path between trust and risk. In addition, this study was able to confirm through literature review that there appeared a high effect of path in case where trust and risk were measured by an uni-dimensional concept than by a multi-dimensional concept.

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.

XML used rapid method of meta language representation in internet for information transmission. In addition to XML Schema used frequency specification to variety data type. This thesis designed to Simple Type meta model of XML schema using UML. But because structure of XML schema complicate and suppose variety data type we can recognize many difficult matter to user's apprehension and application of model properties that appeared UML. To way out of this matter this study could specified clearly to structured expression in XML schema meta model that is applied OCL specification and together, come up with method of detailed design to parse tree and token generation for lexical and symmentics analysis in compile step on this study foundation.
