The objective of this paper is to propose a Web-based Negotiation Support System(NSS) to facilitate conflict resolution between departments in a firm. As the management environment is recently becoming more complex and competitive, the need for harmonizing department functions in a firm is increasing much more than ever. In literature, most of conflict resolution approaches have been based on a sort of behavioral concepts including regular meeting or conference. However, as the department functions are wired through the Internet, a new approach to conflict resolution using the web-based technique is deemed necessary. For this purpose, we developed a Web NSS and illustrated a typical case in which conflicts between production and marketing functions are resolved using the Web NSS.

The base station (BS) in the CDMA Mobile System (CMS) connects calls through the radio interface and is designed to provide mobile subscribers with high quality service in spite of mobile subscribers motions. The BS consists of multiple base station transceiver subsystems (BTSs), a base station controller (BSC) and a base station manager (BSM). This paper is concerned with the BSC and the BSM. The BSC is located between the BTSs and the mobile switching center (MSC) connected with the public network, and to mobile subscribers via the BTSs. The BSM provides operator-interfaces per the BS and takes responsibility of operation and maintenance (OAM) of the BS. Design of the BSC is based on two module types: functional module and unit module. The functional module is used to support new services easily and the unit module to increase the system capacity economically. Both modular types are easily achieved by inserting the corresponding modules to the system. Particularly, in order to efficiently support the soft handover which is one of CDMA superior advantages, the BSC adopts a large high-speed Packet switch connecting up to 512 BTSs, and thus mobile subscribers can be provided with soft handover in high probability. The BSM is based on a commercial workstation to support OAM functions efficiently and guarantee high reliability of the functions. The BSM uses graphical user interface (GUI) for efficient OAM functions of the BS.

According to the development of computer technology, especially in 3D graphics and visualization, the interest for 3D GIS has been increasing. Several commercial GIS softwares are ready to provide 3D function in their traditional 2D GIS. However, most of these systems are focused on visualization of 3D objects and supports few analysis functions. Therefore in this paper, we design not only a spatial operation processor which can support spatial analysis functions as well as 3D visualization, but also implement a prototype to operate them. In order to support interoperability between the existing models, the proposed spatial operation processor supports the 3D spatial operations based on 3D geometry object model which is designed to extend 2D geometry model of OGIS consortium, and supports index based on R$^*$-Tree. The proposed spatial operation processor can be applied in 3D GIS to support 3D analysis functions.

In this paper, support vector machines (SVM) are applied to multi-user detector (MUD) for direct sequence (DS)-CDMA system. This work shows an analytical performance of SVM based multi-user detector with some of kernel functions, such as linear, sigmoid, and Gaussian. The basic idea in SVM based training is to select the proper number of support vectors by maximizing the margin between two different classes. In simulation studies, the performance of SVM based MUD with different kernel functions is compared in terms of the number of selected support vectors, their corresponding decision boundary, and finally the bit error rate. It was found that controlling parameter, in SVM training have an effect, in some degree, to SVM based MUD with both sigmoid and Gaussian kernel. It is shown that SVM based MUD with Gaussian kernels outperforms those with other kernels.

This study analyzed Korean adults' perceptions of family functions and qualities needed for strong families. The sample consisted of 806 adults living in Seoul. Among different family functions, love and emotional support were considered the most important for family strength, while religion and consumption as family functions were not perceived as important. The surveyed adults thought that the function of socialization was the most essential among the family functions according to Murdock's(1949) theory, which were, sexual, reproductive, socialization, and economic functions. They responded that the most needed qualities for strong families were commitment, followed by appreciation and affection, positive communication, ability to cope with stress and crisis, enjoyable time together, and spiritual wellbeing. Adults' perceptions of family functions needed for strong families explained 27% of the variance in perceptions of qualities needed for family strengths. Finally, this study provides recommendations for future research.

Spatial decision support systems(SDffi), a new class of decision support system(DSS), result from the melding together of GIS and DSS, Planning support systems(PS5) add more advanced spatial analysis functions than GIS and intertemporal functions to the functions of SDSS. This paper reports the development of a planning support system providing a framework that facilitates urban planners and civil engineers in conducting coherent deliberations about the generation of satisficing sewers. 1he planning support system for the generation of satisficing sewers(PS5/GSS) was designed from the understanding that land use and development drive the demand for storm and sanitary sewers. Through four stages of supply, demand, alternative generation, and evaluation, PSS/GSS integrates basic planning, preliminary design, and engineering design of sewer. GIS and graphic user interface are excellent toolboxes for designing sewer networks, estimating the quantity of wastewater, and showing generated alternative sewers. A sewer model using simulation tedmique can generate an initial sewer. Users can define alternative sewers by the direct manipulation of sewer networks or by the manipulation of parameters in the sewer model. The sewer model evaluates the performance of the user defined alternatives.

A design expert system for the ship structural design is developed to support inexperienced designers. To establish the knowledge-base, an expert system development shell, Nexpert, is used. Knowledge is extracted from the rules of a classification society of ships, and also from an existing ship structural program that is being used by ship designers. This knowledge is systematized using the objectoriented concept. The design support system is constructed by adding additional functions which are required for the conventional engineering design work. Added functions are; calculation of longitudinal strength, database of existing ship designs, graphical user interface, and visualization of design results. It is observed that visualizing the relationships among the rules, which are activated to draw a certain design decision, is helpful. The system can easily be updated according to changes of the rule books of ship classification societies.

This paper, proposes concept of personal robot middleware core also called streaming layer. Based on openness and portability, the streaming layer is proposed in order to meet requirements of different kinds of applications. The streaming layer architecture provides effective management of data flows and allows integration of different systems with ease regardless software of hardware platform. With extensibility support additional features can be build in without affect to performance. Therefore, heterogeneous network support, real-time communications, embedded boards support can be easily achieved. In order to achieve high performance together with portability into different platforms, the most functions has to be implemented in C language, while critical parts, such as scheduling, priority assignment has to be made using native functions of tested platforms.

Classification is an important research area as data can be easily obtained even if the number of predictors becomes huge. The support vector machine(SVM) is widely used to classify a subject into a predetermined group because it gives sound theoretical background and better performance than other methods in many applications. The SVM can be viewed as a penalized method with the hinge loss function and penalty functions. Instead of $L_2$ penalty function Fan and Li (2001) proposed the smoothly clipped absolute deviation(SCAD) satisfying good statistical properties. Despite the ability of SVMs, they have drawbacks of non-robustness when there are outliers in the data. We develop a robust SVM method using a weight function with the SCAD penalty function based on the local quadratic approximation. We compare the performance of the proposed SVM with the SVM using the $L_1$ and $L_2$ penalty functions.
