An URC (Ubiquitous Robot Companion) is aimed for providing the best service according to situational information that it recognizes. In order to offer human-friendly and intelligent services, a robot middleware requires the technique to automate and control URC service processes, which are based on context-awareness. In this paper, we propose a context-aware workflow system to provide web services based URC services according to situational information. The proposed system offers a platform-independent command object model to control heterogeneous URCs, and supports web services based context-aware URC services. Therefore, the proposed system can increase the reliability of URC services in ubiquitous network environment, on which the diverse URC robots and platforms exist. And it can enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the functional and structural changes of URC systems.

Virtual Robot Education System (VRES), which is for programming education with a Lego Mindstorm NXT robot, is designed and implemented. Through this system, program learners can edit source code, compile, download it into the robot, and run their executive program. In order to observe it, the system includes web cameras and provide monitoring services. Thus, students are able to verify the operation of robot into which they download their program in detail and to debug if necessary. In addition, we design a new simple user-friendly programming language and a corresponding compiler for it. With those tools, learner can more easily create programs for NXT robot and test them than Java language. A educator can control and manage the robot for the subject of a class with direct control mode of our system. Therefore, the proposed system is able to support students to learn robot programming during or after regular classes with web browsers through Internet.

Many features of the Single Field version have been enhanced to provide user friendly interface. The County/Watershed version of NAPRA WWW system was further enhanced. The newly developed Web GIS version is an ideal tool for novice users, such as farmers, to simulate the effects of agricultural management for their farms because of its easy-to-use Web GIS interface. The NAPRA WWW system provides an easy to use WWW interface and uses spatial and relational databases to simplify the process of preparing model files. Thus, the NAPRA WWW systems now can be effectively used for nutrient management as well as pesticide management to identify the least impact agricultural management practices.

Most of the diagnostic medical radiography are rapidly replaced by digital imaging systems recently. Although with the current transition of analog to digital most of the exposure conditions and parameters are still on the basis of film-screen analog system. Moreover the evaluation of acquired digital radiographic image is not fulfilled normally because of the difficulties in handling the digital raw data. The user friendly windows program for the evaluations of digital radiographic image was developed on the MatLab platform. The program has functions for the calculation of the contrast profile, NPS(noise power spectrum), MTF(modulation transfer function), and NEQ(noise equivalent quanta).

IT(Information Technology)분야의 발전과 함께 RT(Robot Technology)분야도 21세기의 유망한 첨단기술로 손꼽히고 있다. 현재의 로봇은 그동안 주류를 이루던 산업용 로봇과는 달리 소프트컴퓨팅, 인간친화 인터페이스, 상호작용기술, 음성인식, 물체인식, 사용자 의도파악 등 갖가지 최첨단 기술들이 요구되는 퍼스널 로봇이 각광을 받고 있으며, 특히 오락용, 교육용 로봇들로 대표되는 엔터테인먼트 로봇(Entertainment Robot)분야가 요즘 국내·외에서 활발히 연구되고 있는 실정이다. 엔터테인먼트 로봇은 정형화된 작업만을 하는 것이 아니라 다양한 환경에서 여러 가지 작업을 해야만 한다. 따라서, 장난감 로봇처럼 인간과의 감정대화가 가능한 지능 시스템을 갖춰야만 한다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 IT분야와 RT분야의 접목으로 시너지 효과를 크게 얻을 수 있는 새로운 기술 개념인 RCP(Robotic Cellular Phone)에 대한 개념을 정의하고, RCP의 기능성 모듈 중 하나인 감성발향 모듈에 대한 기본적인 이론과 실험적 결과를 통하여 로보틱 셀폰의 감성발향 모듈의 우수성을 확인한다.

Leading of the computer, IT technology has make great strides. As a information-industry-community was highly developed, user's needs to convenience about intelligence and humanization of interface is being increase today. Nowadays, researches with are related to BCI are progress put the application-technology development first in importance eliminating research about fountainhead technology with DB construction. These problems are due to a BCI-related research studies have not overcome the initial level, and not toward a systematic study. Brain wave are collected from subjects is a signal that the signal is appropriate and necessary in the experiment is difficult to distinguish. In addition, brain wave that it's not necessary to collect the experiment, serious eyes flicker, facial and body movements of an EMG and electrodes attached to the state, noise, vibration, etc. It is hard to collect accurate brain wave was caused by mixing disturbance wave in experiment on the environment. This movement, and the experiment of subject impact on the environment due to the mixing disturbance wave can cause that lowering cognitive and decline of efficiency when embodied BCI system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an accurate and efficient brain-wave DB building system that more exactness and cognitive basis studies when embodied BCI system with brain-wave. For the minimize about brain wave DB with mixing disturbance, we propose a DB building method using an automatic control and prevent unnecessary action, put to use the subjects face tracking.

The minimal pairs mean the pairs that have same phonotactics except just one sound in the sequences cause different lexical items. This paper proposes the searching tool of minimal pairs for efficiency of phonological researches with minimal pairs. We suggest a guide to develop Korean minimal pair searching programs by comparing to other programs. Proposing tool has user-friendly interface, minimizing key inputs, for linguistics who are not fluent in computer programs. And it serves the function which classifies the words in dictionary for the detailed researches. And for efficiency, it increases speed of dictionary loading by separating syllables through Unicode analysis, and optimizes dictionary structure for searching efficiency. The searching algorithm gains in speed by hashing algorithm using syllable counts. In our tool, the speed is improved more than earlier version about 5 times at converting dictionary and about 3 times at searching.

This paper is on intelligent decision system by safety distance of gas storage tank(IDSG). The safety distance fixed up by law is used to prevent from the injury by explosion of storage tank on the spot. However, it is not easy for a layman to decide a proper safety distance considering the size, shape and place of the storage tank. Therefore, this thesis shows the user-friendly intelligent decision system which a layman can decide the Bas related law, the size, shape and place of the storage tank by the intelligent decision, and it is to make assurance doubly sure for safety supervision on the spot. Also, the paper can make the data for the damage influence distance of overpressure by the explosion of the storage tank calculated by the scaling law of Hopkinson with the fixed distance by law, and safety range can be grasped with the graphic which is printed by the PHAST(Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool) model using this data.

In recent years, as frequency and intensity of severe weather disasters such as flash flood have been increasing, providing accurate and prompt information to the public is very important and needs of user-friendly monitoring/warning system are growing. This paper introduces a method that re-produces radar observations as multimedia contents and applies reproduced data to mesh-up services. In addition, a accurate GIS matching technique to help to track the exact location going on serious atmospheric phenomena is presented. The proposed method create multimedia contents having structures such as two dimensional images, vector graphics or three dimensional volume data by re-producing various radar variables obtained from a weather radar. After then, the multimedia formatted weather radar data are matched with various detailed raster or vector GIS map platform. Results of simulation test with various scenarios indicate that the display system based on the proposed method can support for users to figure out easily and intuitively routes and degrees of risk of severe weather. We expect that this technique can also help for emergency manager to interpret radar observations properly and to forecast meteorological disasters more effectively.
