The higher thinking skills, such as creativity and problem-solving about a given problem, are difficult to assess and diagnose. For an accurate diagnosis of these higher thinking abilities, we need to fully observe learner's problem-solving process or learner's individual reports. However, in an online learning or virtual class environments, evaluation of learner's problem-solving process becomes more difficult to diagnose. The best way to solve this problem is through reporting by tracking learner's actions when he tries to solve a problem. In this study, we developed a module which can evaluate and diagnose student's problem-solving ability by tracking actions in MS-Office suite, which is used by students to solve a given problem. This module performs based on the learner's job history through user tracking. To evaluate the effectiveness of this diagnostic module, we conducted satisfaction survey from students who were preparing the actual MOS exams. As a result, eighty-one (81) of the participants were positive on the effectiveness of the learning system with the use of this module.

In ubiquitous computer environment, by improving the computer's access to context information for dynamic service adaptation, we can increase richness of communication in human computer interaction and make it possible to produce more useful computational services. We need new data structure in order to flexible apply dynamic information to current context information repository and enhance the communication ability between human and computer. In this paper, we proposed to C-A-V (Category-Attribute-Value) context metadata structure required to support dynamic service adaptation for increasing communication ability in user-centric environments. We also classify the context metadata, as well as define its relationship with other context information on the basis of the application services, changes in the external environments.

This study aims to develop an BCI speller utilizing eye-closed and double-blinking EEG based on asynchronous mechanism. The proposed system comprised a signal processing module and a graphical user interface (virtual keyboard-VK) with 26 English characters plus a special symbol. A detected "eye-closed" event induces the "select" command, whereas a "double-blinking" (DB) event functions the "undo" command. A three-class support vector machine (SVM) classifier involving EEG signal analysis of three groups of events ("eye-open"-idle state, "eye-closed", and "double -blinking") is proposed. The results showed that the proposed BCI could achieve an overall accuracy of 92.6% and a spelling rate of 5 letters/min on average. Overall, this study showed an improvement of accuracy and the spelling rate resulting from in the feasibility and reliability of implementing a real-world BCI speller.

In recent years there has been a rapid influx of high cost MRI equipment into Korea. This diffusion has raised concerns about the changes it will bring for the health care utilization. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify socio-economic characteristics of MRI uses in Korea. A structured questionnaire was designed for this purpose, and 1, 091 users were surveyed at the 35 MRI units of 33 hospitals during a week, sometimes March 1992. The study reveals that high cost technology such as MRI, CT scanner is so prevalent in Korea. This is particularly the case in metropolitan areas. Among others, Seoul has the highest percentage of MRI equipment, 51.05%, Pusan 12.10% and Kwangju 11.9%. Unfortunately, most high cost technology equipments are foreign products. Thus, hospitals with such a high cost technology have difficulties in maintenance of the equipment. The average performance of MRI equipment has declined from 10.2 cases per day in 1988 to 7.16 cases in March 1992. Due to the rapid increase, the performance of MRI equipment seems to be deterioration. Male usere are dominant in the case of MRI use. The utilization rate has positively increased with the rise of educational level of users. The same is true for the level of income; the MRI utilization rate by income level shows that it is negatively proportional to income, which indicates that the poor have difficulties in the use of high cost technology. Particularly, the cost of MRI is so high that ordinary patients are unable to pay for it. For example, 86.3% of respondents have answered that the cost is too high even though they are insured by health insurance. This is the first empirical study on the use status of MRI. The information obtained in this study is sufficient to maintain that the Korean health insurance programme is urgently in need of improving the insurance benefit schemes. The easiest way to do this is to include provision of high cost technology service into the benefit package.

The company invests its time and money for temporary maintenance to satisfy the fast change of the computer use environment and the user's demands. Therefore, various problems occur including low performance because of duplication of codes and unstable structures from the restructuring and redevelopment. Furthermore, if a developer, who did not participate in initial process of development, wrote additional program codes to upgrade or restructure, it would cause many problems such as lack or lose of development documentation, understanding of documentation and reuse of existing program language. This study, Object-oriented Refactoring Process, suggests that the developers can reuse object unit to overcome the limit of the reusing code. In addition, this paper shows case study to verify our process by adjusting the project called "D2D", which is a case tool for developing windows system from Company D. Our works get positive results such as improvement of system pelfonnance, decreased cost of development and maintenance and optimizing structure and class.

With the widespread use of the Internet, services for providing large-capacity multimedia data such as video-on-demand (VOD) services and video uploading sites have greatly increased. VOD service providers want to be able to provide users with high-quality keyframes of high quality videos within a few minutes after the broadcast ends. However, existing keyframe extraction tends to select keyframes whose quality as a keyframe is insufficiently considered, and it takes a long computation time because it does not consider an HD class image. In this paper, we propose a keyframe selection method that flexibly applies multiple keyframe quality metrics and improves the computation time. The main procedure is as follows. After shot boundary detection is performed, the first frames are extracted as initial keyframes. The user sets evaluation metrics and priorities by considering the genre and attributes of the video. According to the evaluation metrics and the priority, the low-quality keyframe is selected as a replacement target. The replacement target keyframe is replaced with a high-quality frame in the shot. The proposed method was subjectively evaluated by 23 votes. Approximately 45% of the replaced keyframes were improved and about 18% of the replaced keyframes were adversely affected. Also, it took about 10 minutes to complete the summary of one hour video, which resulted in a reduction of more than 44.5% of the execution time.

In this course of Internet proliferation, many network-related technologies are examined for possible growth and evolution. The use of Internet-based technologies is private networks has further fuelled the demand for network-based applications. The most promising among the new paradigms is the use of mobile agents. The mobile agent is capable of migrating autonomously form node to node in the network, to perform some computations on behalf of the user. The mobile agent paradigm is attractive alternative to traditional client-server programming for a significant class of network-centric applications. It does however, suffer. from a major drawback namely, the potential for malicious attacks, abuse of resources, pilfering of information, and other security issues. These issues are significantly hampering the acceptance of the mobile-agent paradigm. This paper describes the design of a secure mobile agent gateway 7hat can split and merge the agent code with security policy database on the VPN. This mechanism will promote security in the mobile agent systems.

Many people have been building HTML documents due to rapid spread and growth of web. However, HTML has limits in satisfying user's requirements, so that XML has emerged. In this paper, we design and implement student information management programs and presentation methods for maintaing the general student life archives and the analysis of results of examinations using XML and web browser. We define a XML DTD for general student life archives, and build XML documents. A private student life archive is printed from XML documents on the web using XMLDOM, DATA-BINDING, and XSL. Also, personal items and a roll book of a class can be printed and searched. In order to analyze the result of examinations we define DTD and build XML documents according to the DTD.
