Managing GML data in traditional database systems is not efficient since It has not only characteristics of spatial data but also features of (semi) structured n documents. XML enabled database systems can manage U data efficiently, however they cannot handle spatial data. Spatial database systems are good at spatial data handling but those are inefficient for XML data. This paper proposes a storage method of GML data for spatial database systems in order to solve the problems. The proposed method generates spatial database schemas from GML application schemas and store GML data into SDBMS through the generated schemas. A prototype of the storage method has been implemented on the Postgre SQ/SPE system to show the proposed method is appropriate for storing GML data. As a result, the implemented system was able to store various GML data which had diverse XML structures and different size. Stored data size was smaller than GML files. Furthermore, spatial, non-spatial, and mixed content queries could be performed over the stored GML data as quickly.

Industrial low temperature waste heat exists sparse in surroundings but its amount is huge. However, large portion of waste heat is discarded due to its poor recovery quality and inferior application technologies. The heat pump system in this research is based on the hybrid combination of compression cycle and absorption cycle in order to recycle various kind of industrial waste heat effectively. The prime objective is to design a compression absorption hybrid heat pump system which can produce high temperature above the level of $90^{\circ}C$ and low temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ at the same time using waste heat water of $50^{\circ}C$. A mathematical simulation was carried out as a basis to design a prototype 3 RT class hybrid heat pump. From the simulation results, fundamental parameters to design the system were obtained.

In this study, feasibility analysis was performed by estimating the costs and effects of daisy reading auxiliary machine development project. The development cost of a Daisy player device, hardware/prototype and software, with only essential functions and with low price was estimated to be \307,101,664, and the production cost for a player was calculated to be \112,000. The development of Daisy viewer software and input/output assistive devices, application, was estimated to be \284,294,08, and an input/output device was set a price of \6,600. Based on these results, we looked at the economic ripple effects on the people with disabilities by promoting daisy - reading assistive device development project. The results of this study could be used to determine whether the project is to proceed. It is expected that it provides valuable information to actively cope with the changing business environment in the future.

As most devices in a wide range of automotive, aerospace, and missile have built-in software that controls the system behaviors, the safety of the software is growing in its importance. That is, the software safety has emerged as one of big issues because the threat of accidents caused by software malfunction is rising. Accident by software can be occurred from user mal-operation, but the fundamental reason of the accident comes from insufficient verification of the safety in software development process. Therefore, this paper presents how the software safety analysis and management activities should be done in the development process. In particular, we propose how to apply the safety analysis and management activities in the prototype or incremental development process.

BIM has been increasingly deployed to the construction industry in order to minimize ambiguity and to reduce errors of the communicated engineering information, for which poor communication due to fragmented industrial structure is mainly responsible. Known BIM use cases and related researches are focusing either (1) on a specialized solution for a given specialty area (e.g. structural engineering planning and early design, material take-off, constructability simulation, etc.), or (2) on handling interoperabillty issues with Industrial Foundation Classes (IFC); Neither of these approaches have sufficiently catered for collaboration and information management in actual construction projects. This paper proposes the strategy for BIM+PMIS (project management information system) system focused on improving PMIS which has been commercially provided with ASP(Application Service Provider). It also describes the architecture of the BIM-based information management module prototype, which is a key component of the BIM+PMIS system.

Inspection of steel columns which is one of the most critical elements in construction requires trained surveyor(s). Also it takes time to handle survey device(s) delicately for accurate measurements. To improve the inspection process of steel columns, the previous studies developed the AR prototype system, ARCam, and showed that ARCam is a promising inspection device that can reduce inspection time. However, ARCam still requires a surveyor to make measurements based on his visual perception and judgment This study proposes an algorithm for automatic inspection based on ARCam. The algorithm is based on image processing and computer vision and focuses on the inspection of steel column plumbness. This method will make measurements without a surveyor's judgment. The ultimate purpose of the automatic inspection is to minimize the surveying labor, thus reducing inspection time and cost.

Technology Readiness Levels were initially proposed by NASA in 1995. TRL's definition and range were modified within adopted feilds such as hardware and software products. Many national R&D programs have similar evaluation conditions. However, they are influenced by the experts' ability. Relatively, they have shown the little reliance and the low performance of the developed prototype and technology. The purpose of this study is to apply the TRL to the materials and components development program. We defined TRLs for the program and devided them in three technology fields. Proposals, which were submitted for the program in 2007, were assessed with our TRL definitions for the study on the applicability. As a result, we could understand the characteristic TRLs of the technical proposals to the materials and components development program. This shows that the objective tools such as TRLs are required as the R&D program management factors. For the sake, it is the important factor that the detail directives to assess TRL should be developed according to the branches of industrial technology fields.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the system to integrate and manage the in-vehicle interactions between the drivers and the in-vehicle mobile IT devices. Background: As the mobile IT technology is being used anywhere, the drivers are interacting with the mobile IT device on driving situations. The distraction of the driver's attention causes the car accidents. It is necessary to develop the HVI(Human Vehicle Interface System) to integrate and manage the in-vehicle interactions with IT devices. Method: The HVI System is designed not as the interfacing subject but as the supervising system to monitor the driver's status and support the driver to concentrate on the primary tasks. The HVI system collects the status information of the car and driver and estimate the driving workload. Results: The HVI system controls how to provide the output information based on the driving workload. We implemented the HVI system prototype and applied in the real vehicle with the HVI cell phone and the HVI car navigation system. Conclusion: Depending on the driving situations, the HVI system prevented the information output in dangerous situation and diversified the modality and the intensity of the output information. Application: We will extend the HVI system to be connected the other various IT devices and verity the effectiveness of the system through various experiments.
