The increasing complexity and shorter life cycle of software have made it necessary to reuse software. Object-oriented development had not provided extensive reuse and computing infrastructures are evolving from mainframe to distributed environments. However, components provide more advanced means of structuring, describing and developing system, because they are more coarse-grained and have more domain-specific aspects than objects. And they are also suited for distributed environment due to their reusability and granularity. In this paper, we present a process including the static metrics and guidelines that can be applied to transform object-oriented systems into component-based systems. Our process consists of two parts: First, basic components are created based upon composition and inheritance relationships between classes. Second, intermediate system is refined into component-based system with the static metrics and guidelines we propose.

The advance in medical technology has decreased death rates from diseases such as tubercle, pneumonia, malnutrition, and hepatitis. However, death rates from cardiac diseases are still increasing. To prevent cardiac diseases and quantify cardiac function, magnetic resonance imaging not harmful to the body is used for calculating blood volumes and ejection fraction(EF) on routine clinics. In this paper, automatic left ventricle(LV) segmentation is presented to segment LV and calculate blood volume and EF, which can replace labor intensive and time consuming manual contouring. Radial threshold determination is designed to segment LV and blood volume and EF are calculated. Especially, basal slices which were difficult to segment in previous researches are segmented automatically almost without user intervention. On short axis cardiac MRI of 36 subjects, the presented algorithm is compared with manual contouring and General Electronic MASS software. The results show that the presented algorithm performs in similar to the manual contouring and outperforms the MASS software in accuracy.

This paper presents a method for procedure-based on-line program replacement for user applications and illustrates the method in the SUN Solaris environment. In addition to developing procedures for directly changing the address space of a running process, the paper provides solutions on how to allocate space for the new version procedure and how to make the new version procedure work correctly in the old version process address space, when the size of new version procedure is different from that of old version, and thus facilitates procedure-based on-line software replacement. The method performs on-line program replacement using services provided by existing operating systems. Also, the method supports a small, procedure-based replacement and directly modifies necessary parts of a process address space, which results in small performance loss.

Construction of multi-site Cloud Infrastructure with OpenStack, the most popular cloud open source project with various ICT infrastructure technologies, has operational inefficiency due to installation complexity and geographical limitation. To address this inefficiency, we gradually developed automated installation/configuration tools to automate installation/configuration of Linux and OpenStack by complying with DevOps methodology over a multi-site OpenStack testbed called OF@KOREN SmartX Playground. However, the pre-developed installation tools can be used only for limited cases. Therefore, we designed and developed a prototype of SmartX Provisioning Framework which could conducts Playground-wide provisioning flexibly by following three steps of resource management in Software-defined Infrastructure. We verified the efficiency of the provisioning functionality of the framework by demonstrating an example of automated multi-site cloud construction.

A software-controlled unregulated bus system in which the main bus is directly connected to a battery and the duty-ratio for PWM switch is controlled by the on-board satellite software, is usually used for LEO satellites. This paper proposes a new power-stage circuit that can be available for modularization of a power regulator which is used at the software-controlled unregulated bus system satellite. And we analyze the proposed power-stage operation according to its operating modes and verify it by performing software simulation and hardware experiment using prototype. We construct a parallel-module converter which is composed of the proposed power-stage and perform experiment to verify modular characteristics of the proposed power-stage. Finally, we verify the usefulness of the proposed power-stage by comparing above results with those of a parallel-module converter made of conventional power-stage.

Performing wideband DDC while quantizing signal over a wide dynamic range and high speed sampling rate have primarily been implemented in a hardware such as, FPGA or ASIC because of time-consuming job. Real-time wideband DDC SW, even though signal environment changes, adapt to signal environment flexibly and can be reused. In addition, it has a lower price than the hardware implementation. In this paper, we study the system design that can be stored in real time designing a high-speed parallel processing architecture for SW-based wideband DDC. Finally, applying a Ping-Pong Buffering mechanism for receiving a signal in real time and CUDA for a high-speed signal processing, we verify wideband DDC design procedure that meets the signal processing.

A 3D laser scanner is widely used in various fields such as games, movies, medicines, art, design, etc. Many studies for utilizing the 3D laser scanner in the fields of civil engineering have also been carried out, for example, for systematically managing tunnel and/or bridge construction. However, since a software which is directly applicable to Korean construction system does not exist, the amount of data obtained from existing the 3D laser scanner is too much to handle in a systematic way. Therefore, in this paper, a new data processing technique was established which can rapidly and effectively treat the 3D laser scanning data. Moreover, a software that can systematically manage the tunnel construction was developed. The developed software can assess the construction quality of tunnel excavation such as under-break, over-break, cracks, leakage and efflorescence, etc. A 3D laser scanner and the developed software was applied to an in-situ tunnelling site, and verified usefulness of the 3D laser scanner. The developed software may be useful for tunnel maintenance as well as for systematic management of tunnel construction.

The altitudes of GEO satellites are higher than those of GPS satellites. Therefore the visibility and the received power of GPS signals are totally different from those of the users near the Earth's surface. In this study, we analyzed the visibility of GPS signals received on GEO satellites. And we also developed a software GPS receiver that works on GEO satellites using CCMDB algorithm which is a weak signal receiver algorithm. GPS signals received on a GEO satellite are generated by a commercial hardware GPS simulator and used for the verification of the developed software GPS receiver. The mean 3D position and velocity error are calculated as 165.636 m and 0.5081 m/s.
