False data injection attacks have recently been introduced as one of important issues related to cyber-attacks on electric power grids. These attacks aim to compromise the readings of multiple power meters in order to mislead the operation and control centers. Recent studies have shown that if a malicious attacker has complete knowledge of the power grid topology and branch admittances, s/he can adjust the false data injection attack such that the attack remains undetected and successfully passes the bad data detection tests that are used in power system state estimation. In this paper, we investigate that a practical false data injection attack is essentially a cyber-attack with uncertain information due to the attackers lack of knowledge with respect to the power grid parameters because the attacker has limited physical access to electric facilities and limited resources to compromise meters. We mathematically formulated a method of identifying the most vulnerable locations to false data injection attack. Furthermore, we suggest minimum topology changes or phasor measurement units (PMUs) installation in the given power grids for mitigating such attacks and indicate a new security metrics that can compare different power grid topologies. The proposed metrics for performance is verified in standard IEEE 30-bus system. We show that the robustness of grids can be improved dramatically with minimum topology changes and low cost.

Optimal pricing research in general has been focused on profit maximizing strategy under the given product life-time T. Here we have tried to study the effect of uncertain product life-time on dynamic optimal pricing strategy. In reality, the life-time of product is more likely to be uncertain and not known as well. In terms of approximating the model to the concerned reality, so-called model validity, it seems to be more desirable to consider the uncertainty of product life-time into the optimal pricing strategy model, For this purpose, we tried two different approaches. One is to consider diverse product life-time probability functions under fixed life-time T. In this case, we might have the same product life-time as the previous study, but the process could be different in the expectation of product's discontinuity. The other is that life-time itself is not determined and thus it is the situation in which we can only decide optimal price on incremental basis. The former is the situation in which although we got some strong guess on life-time of a certain product, the pattern of expected life-time probability could be different. The question is what could be optimal pricing strategies on such different product life-time situations. But since in the latter, we don't assume any idea on the life-time of product. proper optimal pricing could be derived only from the past prices and diffusion information. While the latter seems to be safer in the aspect of model assumption, the former could be more realistic because we might have more or less a prior knowledge on the product life-time itself.

유한 상태 머신으로 표현되는 비동기 머신의 안정 상태 동작은 피드백 제어를 통해서 원하는 목적에 맞게 교정될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 불확실한 상태 천이를 가지는 입력/상태 비동기 머신을 위한 상태 피드백 제어기를 제안한다. 비동기 머신은 결정적인 동작 특성을 가지고 있으나 모델 불확실성, 내부 고장 등으로 인해서 일부 영역의 상태 천이 함수가 불확실하다. 교정 제어의 목적은 불확실한 상태 천이를 고려하면서 머신의 폐루프 동작이 주어진 정상적인 모델 동작의 부분 집합이 되도록하는 일이다. 또 제어기는 실제 교정 동작을 수행하면서 획득하는 머신의 정확한 상태 천이를 그 다음 제어 동작에 반영한다. 즉 학습을 통해서 폐루프 시스템이 이룰 수 있는 모델의 부분 동작의 범위가 더 확대된다. 사례 연구를 제안된 제어기의 설계 과정을 예시한다.

A nonlinear control law for the quad-rotor of a low-complexity, global approximation-free from system uncertainties and external disturbances are described in this paper. The control law guarantees convergence to a small bounded error using a prescribed performance function. The stability of the proposed nonlinear control system is also proven by the Lyapunov stability theorem. The advantage of this technique is that it has a simpler form than any other nonlinear compensators and is applicable to any nonlinear systems without precise knowledge of the systems. In this paper, the proposed approach is applied to attitude/altitude control of a quad-rotor. Numerical simulations are performed to investigate the proposed nonlinear attitude control law by applying it to an uncertain quadcopter system with external disturbances.

Purpose: Manufacturers rely on interfirm governance mechanisms to reduce the risks inherent in uncertain environments; however, it is unclear which governance mechanisms are developed to manage relationships with suppliers. This study sought to enhance knowledge of how environmental uncertainty affects interfirm governance mechanisms under conditions reflecting varying levels of structural holes. To this end, the study investigated the relationships between manufacturers and major first-tier and sub-suppliers. In particular, the moderating effect of structural holes is examined. Research design, data and methodology: A questionnaire survey was conducted with a major first-tier supplier of a Korean engineering firm. Proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Results: The results show that while the relationship between environmental uncertainty and unilateral governance is positive but statistically insignificant, with bilateral governance is negative and statistically significant. The study also demonstrates that when structural holes are considered, the effects between environmental uncertainty and governance mechanisms are attenuated. Conclusions: This study suggests some theoretical and managerial contributions between exchange partners, especially, the results suggest that structural holes have a critical competitive advantage in uncertain environments. Therefore, manufacturers should carefully consider how they deal with environmental uncertainty when they make a business decision under structural holes situations.

An application of case-based reasoning is proposed to build an influence diagram for identifying successful new ventures. The decision to invest in new ventures in characterized by incomplete information and uncertainty, where some measures of firm performance are quantitative, while some others are substituted by qualitative indicators. Influence diagrams are used as a model for representing investment decision problems based on incomplete and uncertain information from a variety of sources. The building of influence diagrams needs much time and efforts and the resulting model such as a decision model is applicable to only one specific problem. However, some prior knowledge from the experience to build decision model can be utilized to resolve other similar decision problems. The basic idea of case-based reasoning is that humans reuse the problem solving experience to solve a new decision. In this paper, we suggest a case-based reasoning approach to build an influence diagram for the class of investment decision problems. This is composed of a retrieval procedure and an adaptation procedure. The retrieval procedure use two suggested measures, the fitting ratio and the garbage ratio. An adaptation procedure is based on a decision-analytic knowledge and decision participants knowledge. Each step of procedure is explained step by step, and it is applied to the investment decision problem in new ventures.

The objective of this paper is to apply Extended AND-OR Graph (EAOG)-related techniques to extract knowledge from a specific problem-domain and perform analysis in complicated decision making area. Expert systems use expertise about a specific domain as their primary source of solving problems belonging to that domain. However, such expertise is complicated as well as uncertain, because most knowledge is expressed in causal relationships between concepts or variables. Therefore, if expert systems can be used effectively to provide more intelligent support for decision making in complicated specific problems, it should be equipped with real-time inference mechanism. We develop two kinds of EAOG-driven inference mechanisms(1) EAOG-based forward chaining and (2) EAOG-based backward chaining. and The EAOG method processes the following three characteristics. 1. Real-time inference : The EAOG inference mechanism is suitable for the real-time inference because its computational mechanism is based on matrix computation. 2. Matrix operation : All the subjective knowledge is delineated in a matrix form, so that inference process can proceed based on the matrix operation which is computationally efficient. 3. Bi-directional inference : Traditional inference method of expert systems is based on either forward chaining or backward chaining which is mutually exclusive in terms of logical process and computational efficiency. However, the proposed EAOG inference mechanism is generically bi-directional without loss of both speed and efficiency.

오늘날 현대사회는 산업사회에서 지식정보사회로의 '페러다임의 전환기'에 직면하고 있다. 이는 지식중심의 초고속 네트워크 사회로의 진입을 의미하는 것이며, 특히 우리나라는 일찍이 IT 관련 산업에 막대한 투자를 한 끝에 몇 몇 분야에서는 이제 세계 강대국들이 우리의 기술을 벤치마킹해 가는 현실이다. 하지만 이러한 성장 일변도의 정책적 대응은 정보화의 역기능에 대한 대비가 미흡하게 되었으며, 그 대표적인 것이 사이버 테러리즘이다. 익명성을 떤 행위자가 불특정 다수에게 행하는 사이버 테러리즘은 오늘날 뉴 테러리즘의 가장 대표적인 유형의 하나이다. 본 연구는 사이버테러리즘에 대한 정책적, 법적 쟁점을 중심으로 살펴보고 그 대응방안을 강구한다.

본 연구는 사회복지 이용시설에 근무하는 사회복지사를 대상으로 인식론적 신념과 지시적 실천정도를 탐색하였다. 인식론적 신념은 지식에 관한 이론으로서 사회복지사에게 실천행위의 근거를 제공해 준다는 의미에서 사회복지실천과 관련성을 찾을 수 있다. 본 연구에서 인식론적 신념은 객관주의와 구성주의 인식론으로 분류하여 분석하였으며, 지시적 실천정도는 Rothman 등이 제안한 클라이언트에 대한 사회복지 실천유형을 근거로 구분하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 사회복지사의 인식론적 신념이 지시적 실천정도에 어떤 영향력을 미치고 있는가를 밝히는 것이다. 분석결과 사회복지사의 인식론적 신념은 객관주의 인식론에 비해 구성주의 인식론이 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 객관주의 인식론은 사회복지사의 지시적 개입에 정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 사회복지 실천과정의 복잡성과 독특성을 고려할 때 사회복지사에게 다양한 인식론적 입장이 필요하다는 것과 객관주의 인식론에 대한 성찰을 요청하고 있다.
