This study proposed a method for determining weights for the eight quality characteristics, such as functionality, reliability, usability, maintainability, portability, efficiency, security, and interoperability, which are suggested by international standards, focusing on software test reports. Currently, the test results for software quality evaluation apply the same weight to 8 quality characteristics to obtain the arithmetic average. Weights for 8 quality characteristics were applied using the results from text analysis, and weights were applied using the results of text analysis of test reports for two products. It was confirmed that the average of test reports according to the weighted quality characteristics was more efficient.

The characteristics of water quality in the downstream of the Han River were analyzed by statistical techniques. Basic characteristics, areal and temporal variations, and correlations of water quality data were investigated. Monthly water quality data have been investigated systematically by exploring data analysis, including time series plot, summary statistics, distribution test, time dependence test, seasonality test and flow relatedness test. Results show that water quality data in this river have seasonality. And applicability of stochastic models such as Thomas-Fiering model and ARMA(1,1) model was identified. From the examination of water quality data related to discharge, it was found that DO and SS are sensitive to water temperature rather than discharge, while BOD and COD are sensitive to discharge at dry seasons. Seasonal periodicities were identified in all water quality variables from the cross correlation analysis.

Factors influencing the success or failure of information systems(IS) have been discussed in many literature. However, little theoretical development or empirical research has examined effectiveness of hospital information systems(HIS) This study set the research model of influencing factors and consequences of HIS through theoretical studies based on Management Information Systems, and then empirically tested several hypotheses related to this model. Based on a sample of 274 respondents who participated in dealing with the HIS, this research used a multiple regression analysis to test the research model. The results of this study are as follows: system quality, information quality and support of top management are statistically significant influence on user satisfaction. Service quality is a partially significant influence on user satisfaction. Hypothesis 5, proposing that computer self-efficacy would relate positively to user satisfaction, was not supported by the questionnaire results. Based on these results, system quality, information quality and support of top management are very important variables for IS success. And the study's findings indicate DeLone and McLean's model is correct in proposing that the indirect relationship between influencing factors and organizational effectiveness, mediated by user satisfaction, is an important one.

Limiting distributions of Studentized test statistics have been shown for testing the slope parameter in a simple linear structural model. Since the limiting distribution of Studentized one appears to yield inaccurate inference, this paper suggests adjustment of critical value and normalization of the Studentized one. As results, we can have procedures for refined inference based on our approximate distrbution instead of the limiting distribution.

In this article an economic life test sampling plan is considered for repairable products when the products in each lot have the same interfailure time distribution, but the mean time between failure (MTBF) of a lot varies from lot to lot according to a known prior distribution. A cost model is constructed which consists of test cost, accept cost, and reject cost. Determination of the optimal plan which minimizes the expected average cost per lot is discussed. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the use of the proposed sampling plans and sensitivity analyses for parameters of the prior distribution are performed.

This paper is concerned with forecasting the existing number of errors in the computer software and optimizing the stopping time of the software test based upon the forecasted number of errors. The most commonly used models have assessed software reliability under the assumption that the software failure late is proportional to the current fault content of the software but invariant to time since software faults are independents of others and equally likely to cause a failure during testing. In practice, it has been observed that in many situations, the failure rate decrease. Hence, this paper proposes a mathematical model to describe testing situations where the failure rate of software limearly decreases proportional to testing time. The least square method is used to estimate parameters of the mathematical model. A cost model to optimize the software testing time is also proposed. In this cost mode two cost factors are considered. The first cost is to test execution cost directly proportional to test time and the second cost is the failure cost incurred after delivery of the software to user. The failure cost is assumed to be proportional to the number of errors remained in the software at the test stopping time. The optimal stopping time is determined to minimize the total cost, which is the sum of test execution cast and the failure cost. A numerical example is solved to illustrate the proposed procedure.

In this study, the performance of artificial neural network (ANN) models for estimating spatial distribution of water quality was evaluated using electric conductivity (EC) values in landfill site. For the ANN model development, feedforward neural networks and backpropagation algorithm with gradient descent method were used. In Test 1, the interpolation ability of the ANN model was evaluated. Results of the ANN model were more precise than those of the Kriging model. In Test 2, spatial distributions of EC values were predicted using precipitation data. Results seemed to be reasonable, however, they showed a limitation of ANN models in extrapolations.

In the water purification plant, the raw water is promptly purified by injecting chemicals. The amount of chemicals is directly related to water quality such as turbidity, temperature, pH and alkalinity. At present, however, the process of chemical reaction to the turbidity has not been clarified as yet. Since the process of coagulant dosage has no feedback signal, the amount of chemical can not be calculated from water quality data which were sensed from the plant. Accordingly, it has to be judged and determined by Jar-Test data which were made by skilled operators. In this paper, it is concerned to model and control the coagulant dosing process using jar-test results in order to predict optimum dosage of coagulant, PAC(Polymerized Aluminium Chloride). The considering relations to the reaction of coagulation and flocculation, the five independent variables(turbidity, temperature, pH, Alkalinity of the raw water, PAC feed rate) are selected out and they are put into calculation to develope a neural network model and a fuzzy model for coagulant dosing process in water purification system. These model are utilized to predict optimum coagulant dosage which can minimize the water turbidity in flocculator. The efficacy of the proposed control schemes was examined by the field test.

The semiconductor manufacturing industry is managed by a number of parameters from the FAB which is the initial step of production to package test which is the final step of production. Various methods for prediction for the quality and yield are required to reduce the production costs caused by a complicated manufacturing process. In order to increase the accuracy of quality prediction, we have to extract the significant features from the large amount of data. In this study, we propose the method for extracting feature from the cell level data of probe test process using OPTICS which is one of the density-based clustering to improve the prediction accuracy of the quality of the assembled chips that will be placed in a package test. Two features extracted by using OPTICS are used as input variables of quality prediction model because of having position information of the cell defect. The package test progress for chips classified to the correct quality grade by performing the improved prediction method is expected to bring the effect of reducing production costs.
