이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서는 이동 클라이언트의 위치에 따라서 질의에 대한 결과 값이 달라지는 상황이 발생하는데 그러한 결과의 데이타를 위치종속 데이타(LDD: Location Dependent Data)라 한다. 따라서 그러한 질의는 지리적인 거리를 고려하여 처리되어야 하며 또한 데이타의 관계성 등을 함께 고려하여 처리 효율을 높일 수 있다. 그러나 위치종속 질의에 나타나는 거리를 평가하고 영역별 위치종속 데이타를 구성할 때의 모호성으로 인해 정확히 평가하고 표현하기 어려운 점이 존재한다. 본 논문은 질의에 거리 정보를 사용함에 있어서 발생할 수 있는 문제점을 고려하고 위치종속 데이타간의 관련성 및 질의되는 이동 글라이언트의 위치 그리고 요구되는 지형물에 대한 거리간의 관계를 정량화하여 위치종속 데이타를 위한 데이타 영역인 LDD 영역을 제안한다. 모의 실험에서는 이동 클라이언트가 요청하는 위치종속질의 및 위치의 성향들 그리고 영역의 두 가지 조밀도 설정하여 제안하는 LDD 영역에서 질의 처리가 지리적인 지역만을 고려한 데이타 영역에서보다 데이타베이스 접근 수를 줄일 수 있음을 보인다.

Within an intelligent automated cyber-physical system, the realization of the autonomous mechanism for data collection, data integration, and data analysis plays a critical role in the design, development, operation, and maintenance of such a system. This construct is particularly vital for fault-tolerant route-finding systems that rely on the imprecise GPS location of the vehicles to properly operate, timely plan, and continuously produce informative feedback to the user. More essentially, the integration of digital twins with cyber-physical route-finding systems has been overlooked in intelligent transportation services with the capacity to construct the network routes solely from the locations of the operating vehicles. To address this limitation, the present study proposes a conceptual architecture that employs digital twin to autonomously maintain, update, and manage intelligent transportation systems. This virtual management simulation can improve the accuracy of time-of-arrival prediction based on auto-generated routes on which the vehicle's real-time location is mapped. To that end, first, an intelligent transportation system was developed based on two primary mechanisms: 1) an automated route finding process in which predictive data-driven models (i.e., regularized least-squares regression) can elicit the geometry and direction of the routes of the transportation network from the cloud of geotagged data points of the operating vehicles and 2) an intelligent mapping process capable of accurately locating the vehicles on the map whereby their arrival times to any point on the route can be estimated. Afterward, the digital representations of the physical entities (i.e., vehicles and routes) were simulated based on the auto-generated routes and the vehicles' locations in near-real-time. Finally, the feasibility and usability of the presented conceptual framework were evaluated through the comparison between the primary characteristics of the physical entities with their digital representations. The proposed architecture can be used by the vehicle-tracking applications dependent on geotagged data for digital mapping and location tracking of vehicles under a systematic comparison and simulation cyber-physical system.

The objectives of this research is to find the factors which determined hospital profitability. The unit of analysis is hospital, and the data is collected from two sources. One source is derived from Ministry of Health and Social Affairs(4 years' data from 134 hospitals), and another source is derived from Sam-II Accounting Co.(1 year's data from 37 hospitals). Hospital profitability, which is dependent variable in our research, is measured with financial ration, such as ROI(reture on investment). The major findings are as follows; 1) The hospital profitability is determined with not hospital type itself but management-incentives associated with hospital type. 2) The maximum profitability is obtained in 775 bed-size. 3) The hospital location isn't a factor to determine profitability 4) The internal control and management, such as account receivables, inventory, fixed assert investment, is major factor to hospital profitability.

In this paper, we propose a group key management scheme for very high confidential information in tactical wireless networks. For the proposed scheme, we consider the tactical networks that has a hierarchical topology and the nature of high confidential information. The leader node, which may have higher probability of good channel state than others, provides some data to all the network member in order to generate a geographical group key and it transmits the encrypted information with minimum transmission power level to others. By this scheme, the security and reliability for sharing confidential information is ensured. The performance of the proposed scheme is validated by mathematical analysis. It shows that the proposed scheme makes nodes to share a high confidential information securely if the proper parameters for network design are selected.

무선 통신 기술과 휴대형 정보 장치의 발달로 등장한 이동 컴퓨팅 환경(Mobile Computing Environment)은 사용자가 랩탑이나 PDA와 같은 휴대 가능한 장비를 이용해서 사용자의 물리적인 위치나 이동에 상관없이 무선 통신을 이용해서 서버 혹은 다른 컴퓨터의 자원과 함께 작업하는 것을 말한다. 최근 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보편적인 형태가 되고 있는 위치 의존 질의(Location Dependent Query)는 위치에 의존하는 데이타를 처리하는 질의이다 위치 의존 질의는 질의의 결과를 만들어 내는 중요한 척도가 위치이다. 위치 의존 질의를 효과적으로 지원하기 위해서는 이동 호스트의 캐싱 정책과 셀을 담당하는 지구국의 브로드캐스팅 정책이 중요하다. 적절한 캐싱 정책과 브로드캐스팅 정책을 정하기 위해서는 사용자의 이동과 데이타의 공간 속성을 고려해야 한다. 도심에서는 사용자가 도로를 따라서 이동하고 데이타가 도로에 인접해서 위치한다 이런 특징을 가지는 도심에서 이동 호스트의 현재 위치에서 가장 가까운 곳은 직선 거리로 가장 가까운 곳이 아니라 이동 거리가 가장 짧은 곳이다. 따라서, 이전에 행해졌던 연구에서 사용한 직선거리는 도심에 적합하지 않다. 직선 거리(Euclidean Distance)를 사용하면 이동 호스트의 이동 거리를 계산하기 위해서 피타고라스 정리를 이용해서 비슷하게 예상할 수 있지만, 실제 이동거리는 다양한 값이 나을 수 있기 때문에 적합하지 않다 본 논문에서는 도심의 특성을 반영한 브로드캐스팅/캐싱 정책을 제안한다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 이동 호스트가 도심의 위치 정보를 효과적으로 캐싱할 수 있도록 인접한 데이터를 클러스터링해서 브로드캐스팅하여 이동 호스트의 구성 시간(setup time)을 최소화하였다. 그리고, 맨하탄거리(Manhattan Distance)를 사용해서 위치 의존 질의에서 사용하는 데이타를 캐싱하고 질의를 처리하는 방법을 제안한다. 맨하탄 거리를 이용해서 캐싱하면 도로에 인접해서 위치한 데이타를 효과적으로 캐싱할 수 있다. 또한, 거리 계산 방법으로 맨하탄 거리를 사용하면 도심에서 실제 이동 거리와 비슷한 값을 알 수 있고, 직선 거리 계산식에 비해서 계산식도 간단하기 때문에 시스템 계산량도 줄일 수 있다.

Mobile Crowdsourcing (MCS) has become an emerging paradigm evolved from crowdsourcing by employing advanced features of mobile devices such as smartphones to perform more complicated, especially spatial tasks. One of the key procedures in MCS is to collect answers from mobile users (workers), which may face several security issues. First, authentication is required to ensure that answers are from authorized workers. In addition, MCS tasks are usually location-dependent, so the collected answers could disclose workers' location privacy, which may discourage workers to participate in the tasks. Finally, the overhead occurred by authentication and privacy protection should be minimized since mobile devices are resource-constrained. Considering all the above concerns, in this paper, we propose a lightweight and privacy-preserving answer collection scheme for MCS. In the proposed scheme, we achieve anonymous authentication based on traceable ring signature, which provides authentication, anonymity, as well as traceability by enabling malicious workers tracing. In order to balance user location privacy and data availability, we propose a new concept named current location privacy, which means the location of the worker cannot be disclosed to anyone until a specified time. Since the leakage of current location will seriously threaten workers' personal safety, causing such as absence or presence disclosure attacks, it is necessary to pay attention to the current location privacy of workers in MCS. We encrypt the collected answers based on timed-release encryption, ensuring the secure transmission and high availability of data, as well as preserving the current location privacy of workers. Finally, we analyze the security and performance of the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the computation costs of a worker depend on the number of ring signature members, which indicates the flexibility for a worker to choose an appropriate size of the group under considerations of privacy and efficiency.

Purpose: This research investigates the differences in knowledge exchange activities and performances between startups and large companies in software industry clusters. Research design, data, and methodology: Six independent factors of human resource information, R&D and technology, marketing knowledge, government support information, strategic knowledge, and cooperation information were extracted to test the firm size effect in the relationships with two performance factors such as satisfaction with industry cluster location and satisfaction with financial performances. Data were collected through a survey of entrepreneurs, managers, and employees and tested by statistical analysis methodologies. Results: Three independent factors of human resource information, R&D and technology, and cooperation information were particularly significant in the relationship with both dependent factors. Strategic knowledge significantly affected financial performance. Knowledge exchange activities were more important in startups than in large companies for all eight factors. Conclusion: Policies for software industry clusters need a different approach for startups and large companies.

Background: The purpose of this study is to analyze the current status and factors of elderly patients' hospitalization for hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery. Methods: National health insurance data in 2018 was provided by the National Health Insurance Service. We used multiple regression to analyze factors associated with the medical utilization of hip replacement, knee replacement, and general spine surgery in elderly patients over 65 years old. The dependent variables are the length of stay and total health expenditure. The independent variables are the demographic-social factors (sex, age, region, insurance type, income level) and surgery-related factors (institution type, location of the hospital, surgery classification). Results: The most common factor affecting surgery was the location of medical institutions. Compared with the medical institutions located in metropolitan, the length of stay in rural medical institutions was higher and total health expenditure was lower. The lower quartile of income, the higher the length of stay and total health expenditure. In addition, the variables of age, type of health insurance, and type of medical institution were statistically significant. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed the effect of sociodemographic factors and medical institution factors on the Healthcare Utilization of spinal and joint surgery.

As the digital retail environement becomes prevalent, consumers are given greater opportunities to make purchases across physical and digital boundaries. Prior research emphasizes that the attractiveness of the digital or online channel is relatively determined by spatial specifics of physical locations. The overall market trend combined with prior research suggests that understanding spatial specifics becomes a key to managing both offline and online sales performance together. In this study, we focus on geographic variation in sales performance through offline and online channels and aim to investigate the channel-level sales difference between central and subsidiary areas. To this end, we obtain sales data of skincare and makeup products from a leading cosmetic company. Next, we examine spatial autocorrelations in data and then employ the spatial error models to study the effects of spatial specifics. The empirical findings are as follows. First, there are significant differences in category-specific and channel-level sales between central and subsidiary areas. Second, Moran's I statistics demonstrate the spatial autocorrelations of each variable. Third, spatial error models outperform simple regression models with lower AIC values. Finally, spatial specifics play a greater role in understanding online sales in subsidiary areas whereas they exert greater influence on offline sales in central areas. We believe our study advances the related theory and knowledge of multi-channel retailing and also contributes practically to location-dependent multi-channel strategies and sales data analytics.
