The Internet has the potential to create new channels that might be beneficial to fashion consumers. This study examines the effects of consumer involvement and Internet behavior in on-going Internet information searches through the young female generation. For the practical research, the survey was conducted from June $15^{th}$ to July $15^{th}$ 2009. Data was collected in a total of 368 questionnaires from female university students in their 20's and analyzed 300 questionnaires with SPSS 12.0. The results were as follows. First, clothing involvement, fashion involvement, internet involvement, and Internet shopping interest had been considered as antecedents of on-going Internet information search behavior. Second, clothing involvement and Internet involvement significantly affected Internet shopping interest. However, fashion involvement and Internet involvement showed direct paths to on-going Internet information searches. Third, there were significant effects in Internet shopping interest and on-going Internet information searches. Forth, the respondents were segmented by two groups according to the level of ongoing information searches. These segmented two groups were different in regard to clothing shopping behaviors and impulse purchase behaviors.

Fashion is the social process concerned with the spread of a new product from its source to consumer. Fashion leadership may be associated the shopping-related behaviors, such as shopping motives, on-going information search, impulse buying behavior. In order to study the relationship between the fashion leadership and the shopping-related characteristics, Three research problems were set up for the study as follows: Research problem 1: To investigate the fashion leadership. Research problem 2: To analyze the relationship between the fashion leadership and the characteristics of shopping-related behavior. Research problem 3: To analyze the relationship between the fashion leadership and other fashion-related behaviors. After statistical analysis using the SPSSWIN, the following results was found. Fashion leadership approximates the normal distribution curve, and its structure consists of one dimension. Using the factor analysis, the two kinds of shopping motive was confirmed hedonic motive and cognitive motive. Fashion leadership was related to the hedonic shopping motive. Also there were positive associations between the fashion leadership on-going information search behavior, and the impulse buying behavior. And there was significant association between the fashion leadership and expense for clothes and spending time for shopping.

The huge size of Internet does not allow ordinary information seekers to search information with ease. Now, it is almost impossible to navigate the ocean of information without effective search tools. Web search engine has been the most effective technology for information retrieval on WWW. But recently, the need for new search tools on WWW or Internet has increased drastically. Currently, there are many on-going researches on the related topics. In this survey, we categorize the new search tools into four types: monitoring systems, filtering systems, browsing assistant systems, recommending systems. These example systems are examined. We are especially interested in WWW information filtering. It is studied how to apply the information filtering techniques to WWW, The application is not so straightforward like Email, Newswire filtering systems. As a result of this study, a simple WWW information filtering system is proposed.

The objectives of this study were to investigate the relationships among the degree of delinquency and clothing buying behavior information search and fashion involvement and to examine the causal relationships of adolescent delinquency demographic variables and fashion involvement on information search. Subjects for this study were 537 high school students(male ; 225, female : 312) in Seoul Korea. the results of the study were as follow. 1. Four factors of adolescent's delinquency derived by factor analysis : F. 1 'general position delinquency' F. 2 'school-norm delinquency' F3. 'personal delinquency' : F.4 'sexual delinquency'. 2. There were partially significant correlations between the degree of adolescent's delinquency and information search and fashion involvement. There were significant relationships between degree of delinquency and degree of clothing purchasing frequency. companion while shopping and source of clothing expenses. 3. In the case of male students fashion involvement and sexual delinquency had a direct effect on information search(R2 =.278) General position delinquency and allowance had a indirect effect on information search through Father's level of education had a direct effect on allowance. the present findings provide that in general the more allowance students received the higher the general position delinquency for both males and females, The higher the general position delinquency the higher the degree of fashion involvement and information search. Therefore it can be concluded that relatively mild delinquency acts such as drinking. smoking and going to discothque have more influence on fashion involvement and information search that serious delinquency acts such as violence and robbery.

The purpose of this study was to examine the purchase behaviors of those who are consistently using Green cosmetics. k order to identify this purpose, this study compared the consumer characteristics among on-going users of green cosmetics, temporary users, and those who have never used the green cosmetics. Also, this study compared the decision making process between on-going users and temporary users. The data were obtained from a questionnaire completed by women who lived in Seoul (N=362), and were analyzed by t-tests, chi-square test, and ANOVA. The findings of this study are as follows: First, unmarried women aged in 20s and those who have higher education, higher incomes and their own houses were more likely to use Green cosmetics consistently. Second, those who were more interested in environmental problems were more likely to be on-going users of Green cosmetics. Third, those who in on-going group were more likely than temporary group to make internal search, while temporary group was more likely to depend on information obtained from their friends or relatives. Also, on-going group considered alternative criteria more than do temporary group.

The image information, used most frequently in multimedia, is visual and spatial information. It has several characters including the diversity of storage and output methods, large capacity, spatial relationship expression, and irregularity. Therefore, the various researches for methods of storing efficiently, managing, searching such image data are going on. And recently, it has arisen the movement of international standardization, MPEG-7 for searching contents base in multimedia environment. Especially, the research for implementation of more effective image database searching system important subject, because the practical image search system which can storage a lot of image information as database and query, search them has not generalized. Now the image search system based on text has researched to high degree, but it has many shortages so that nowadays the researches for searching system based on contents are going on. This research has used the wavelet conversion largely using in image processing instead of DCT method largely using in existent system, and so it had met similar and precise results than prior methods by image compression and extraction of specific vector.

Searchable encryption systems provide search on encrypted data while preserving the privacy of the data and the search keywords used in queries. Recently, interest on data outsourcing has increased due to proliferation of cloud computing services. Many researches are on going to minimize the trust put on external servers and searchable encryption is one of them. However, most of previous searchable encryption schemes provide only a single keyword boolean search. Although, there have been proposals to provide conjunctive keyword search, most of these works use a fixed field which limit their application. In this paper, we propose a field-free conjunctive keyword searchable encryption that also provides rank information of search results. Our system uses prime tables and greatest common divisor operation, making our system very efficient. Moreover, our system is practical and can be implemented very easily since it does not require sophisticated cryptographic module.

This paper propose WebDBs(Web Database system) which retrieves information registered in web using query language similar to SQL. This proposed system automatically extracts information which is needed to retrieve from HTML documents dispersed in web. Also, it has an ability to process SQL based query intended for the extracted information. Web database system takes the most of query processing time for capturing documents going through network line. And so, the information previously retrieved is reused in similar applications after stored in cache in perceiving that most of the web retrieval depends on web locality. In this case, we propose cache mechanism adapted to user applications by storing cached information associated with retrieved query. And, Web search engine is implemented based on these concepts.

In the beginning of the Web history, the main function and importance of the Internet was focused on the content of the data. However, that focus has been switched to the search engines because of the abundant, humongous amount of data that are spread all over the globe. The Webmasters are now implying flasy, beautiful graphics and newly developed technologies to make their websites attract the Internet users. The significant change was mainly caused by the companies that thought cyber shopping malls were going to be very simple and profitable. They believed that the decreasing prices of hardware and easy-to-use software were going to attract the potential customers, resulting in a new, massive market. A website needs to be extremely captivating and attractive, in order to bring in new customers and induce them to return. The Webmaster has to devise methods to find out what kinds of contents would bring in a bigger audience, as well as checking the validity and correctness of the contents. In the thesis, the necessity and concept of a personalized Internet shopping mall will be discussed through the theoretical examination of the one-to-one marketing and the concept of the current shopping malls. The scheme of the personalized shopping mall will be presented, which will encourage the formation of loyal customers, in the ever-growing competitiveness of the marketing environment, by satisfying their wants faster and more precisely.
