  • As the weapon system SW development and management manual of the DAPA, which is the regulation for the overall weapon system SW development, is revised, the level and scope of SW reliability test are upgraded to improve the reliability and quality of SW. It is a big burden for SW developers. In particular, the dynamic test requires a schedule and manpower required to implement the weapon system SW, and should be performed every time the source code changes, not just one time. In this paper, we propose a regression test automation program(VectorCast Environment Manager) that performs a dynamic test using VectorCast, a dynamic test tool, and then performs a regression test automatically by minimizing human intervention in the regression test of dynamic test due to the change of the source code.

  • Aircraft defects are important matters directly related to the operation of the aircraft and the life of the pilot. The defects in the mission software that occur during aircraft control seriously affect the pilot's mission performance and safety. Therefore, the organization in charge of aircraft development or software defects are reinforced in the process to identify and eliminate defects in the early stages of development, and a lot of labor and time are spent, but due to the nature of the mission software, strong functional coupling with other avionics and high complexity, so there are restrictions on the identification and removal of software defects through the existing test method. This study analyzes the effect of securing mission software integrity and reducing test cost through data integrity verification by developing a tool that automates the verification of expected value of feedback data among communication data of mission computer interlocking equipment.

  • An application in Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) is built by 'composing'two kinds of components; One is a component that is made by current developer himself, and the other is a component that is from other developments. We define the former as a 'White-box component' and the latter as a 'Black-box component.' The error from the composition can be said to be caused by interactions of Black-box components and White-box components. This paper proposes a new testing technique for composition errors, and applies the technique to Enterprise Java Beans component architecture. Our technique selects test cases by injecting a fault only into the specific parts of a White-box component. This specific parts for injecting a fault are selected by analyzing composition patterns, and lead to make our test cases have a good effectiveness. We show the effectiveness of our test cases through an experiment. Moreover, we also mention an automation tool for our technique.

  • Purpose: As application-specific wireless sensor networks are gaining popularity, this paper discusses the development and field performance of the GHAN, a greenhouse area network system to monitor, control, and access greenhouse microenvironments. GHAN, which is an upgraded system, has many new functions. It is an intelligent wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) system for next-generation greenhouses, which enhances the state of the art of greenhouse automation systems and helps growers by providing them valuable information not available otherwise. Apart from providing online spatial and temporal monitoring of the greenhouse microclimate, GHAN has a modified vapor pressure deficit (VPD) fuzzy controller with an adaptive-selective mechanism that provides better control of the greenhouse crop VPD with energy optimization. Using the latest soil-matrix potential sensors, the GHAN system also ascertains when, where, and how much to irrigate and spatially manages the irrigation schedule within the greenhouse grids. Further, given the need to understand the microclimate control dynamics of a greenhouse during the crop season or a specific time, a statistical assessment tool to estimate the degree of optimality and spatial variability is proposed and implemented. Methods: Apart from the development work, the system was field-tested in a commercial greenhouse situated in the region of Punjab, India, under different outside weather conditions for a long period of time. Conclusions: Day results of the greenhouse microclimate control dynamics were recorded and analyzed, and they proved the successful operation of the system in keeping the greenhouse climate optimal and uniform most of the time, with high control performance.

  • Component technologies which enable quickly and effectively to develop software have begun to come into the spotlight since early 1990s. Currently, a number of software development works are performed on the J2EE/EJB environment. However component testing is a very complicated task, in addition it requires more efforts than the previous Java class testing. Thus many developers do not perform sufficiently testing works. In this paper we propose an automatic testing method for EJB components based on the in-container testing strategy and implement a testing tool. Since our method builds automatically the test environment for EJB components, it is possible for developers or testers to save their time and efforts at the test preparation phase. Therefore we are convinced that the reliability of EJB components can be increased through sufficient testings with our method.

  • As the scale of airborne system software increases, the use of OOT (Object-Oriented Technology) is increasing for functional expansion, efficient development, and code reuse, but the verification method for airborne object-oriented software is conducted from the perspective of the existing procedure-oriented program. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the characteristics of OOT and the vulnerabilities derived from the functional characteristics of OOT, and present a verification method applicable to each software development process (Design, Coding and Testing) to ensure the functional safety integrity of aviation software to which OOT is applied. Additionally, we analyzed the meaning of the static analysis results among the step-by-step verification measures proposed by applying LDRA, a static analysis automation tool, to PX4, an open source used to implement flight control software.

  • Purpose: The study aimed to design and develop an automated personalized self-care (APSC) program for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The secondary aim was to present a clinical protocol as a mixed-method research to test the program effects. Methods: The APSC program was developed in the order of analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation according to the software development life cycle, and was guided by the self-regulatory theory. The content validity, heuristics, and usability of the program were verified by experts and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Results: The APSC program was developed based on goal setting, education, monitoring, and feedback components corresponding to the phases of forethought, performance/volitional control, and self-reflection of self-regulatory theory. Using the mobile application, the participants are able to learn from educational materials, monitor their health behaviors, receive weekly-automated personalized goals and feedback messages, and use an automated conversation system to solve the problems related to self-care. The ongoing two-year study utilizes a mixed method design, with 180 patients having type 2 diabetes mellitus randomized to receive either the intervention or usual care. The participants will be reviewed for self-care self-efficacy, health behaviors, and health outcomes at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Participants in the intervention group will be interviewed about their experiences. Conclusion: The APSC program can serve as an effective tool for facilitating diabetes health behaviors by improving patients' self-care self-efficacy and self-regulation for self-care. However, the clinical effectiveness of this program requires further investigation.

  • In order to respond and prevent underground safety accidents, the Korean government has been preparing a submitting completion drawing web system project for converting the current manual-based 3D Underground Geospatial Map construction and its update system to an automation-based 3D underground information construction. However, research on standard drawings required for the automatic update of 3D underground structures is insufficient, so detailed research is needed. In this research paper, a standard map-based 3D underground structure construction plan was presented for the six types of underground structures constituting the 3D Underground Geospatial Map, enabling rapid and accurate drawing data creation and systematically 3D underground structure drawing data could be managed. In addition, we developed a 3D construction drawing tool that can be used in underground information practice so that ordinary CAD program users can easily produce processing drawings. The results derived from this paper are expected to be major reference materials for the establishment of standard frameworks and practical application guidelines for the construction of 3D underground structures in the future.

  • 프로세스 중심 소프트웨어 개발 환경(PSEE : Process-centered Software Engineering Environment)은 소프트웨어 개발자를 위한 여러가지 정보의 제공과 타스크의 수행, 소프트웨어 개발 도구의 수행 및 제어, 필수적인 규칙이나 업무의 수행등과 같은 다양한 행위를 제공하는 프로세스 모형의 수행을 통하여 소프트웨어 개발 행위를 지원한다. SEED(Software Engineering Environment for Development)는 효율적인 소프트웨어 개발과 프로세스 모형의 수행을 제어하기 위해 ETRI에서 개발된 PSEE이다.본 논문에서는 SEED에서 프로세스 모형을 설계하기 위해 사용되는 SimFlex 프로세스 프로그래밍 언어와, 수행지원시스템인 SEED Engine의 구현에 대하여 기술한다. SimFlex는 간단한 언어 구조를 가진 프로세스 프로그래밍 언어이며, 적절한 적합화를 통하여 다른 PSEE에서 사용될 수 있다. SimFlex 컴파일러는 SimFlex에 의해 기술된 프로세스 모형을 분석하고, 모형의 오류를 검사하며, SEED Engine에 의해 참조되는 중간 프로세스 모형을 생성한다. 중간 프로세스 모형을 사용하여 SEED Engine은 외부 모니터링 도구와 연관하여 사용자를 위한 유용한 정보뿐만 아니라 SimFlex에 의해 기술된 프로세스 모형의 자동적인 수행을 제공한다. SimFlex 언어와 수행지원 시스템의 지원을 통하여 소프트웨어 프로세스를 모형화하는데 드는 비용과 시간을 줄일 수 있으며, 편리하게 프로젝트를 관리하여 양질의 소프트웨어 생산물을 도출할 수 있다. Abstract Process-centered Software Engineering Environments(PSEEs) support software development activities through the enaction of process models, providing a variety of activities such as supply of various information for software developers, automation of routine tasks, invocation and control of software development tools, and enforcement of mandatory rules and practices. The SEED(Software Engineering Environment for Development) system is a PSEE which was developed for effective software process development and controlling the enactment of process models by ETRI.In this paper, we describe the implementation of the SimFlex process programming language used to design process models in SEED, and its runtime support system called by SEED Engine. SimFlex is a software process programming language to describe process models with simple language constructs, and it could be embedded into other PSEEs through appropriate customization. The SimFlex compiler analyzes process models described by SimFlex, check errors in the models, and produce intermediate process models referenced by the SEED Engine. Using the intermediate process models, the SEED Engine provides automatic enactment of the process models described by SimFlex as well as useful information for agents linked to the external monitoring tool. With the help of the SimFlex language and its runtime support system, we can reduce cost and time in modeling software processes and perform convenient project management, producing well-qualified software products.

  • When manufacturing information and communication device that consists of lots of part, it is important to improve the quality of the produced system by inspecting the system accurately and exclude the defected part. In case of LCD which is recently in a great demand, the inspection process of the nut which bonds the back frame to protect the LCD panel has to be done by human labor. It highly required an automatic inspection system which can inspect the nut without wasting human resources. In this paper, we describe the process of developing a system which automatically inspect the status of nuts inserted during the manufacturing of LCD. The nut inspection vision system developed measures the number of nut's spiral, the distance between pitches, the width of a pitch, and the inside diameter of nut. We have adopted lens with high magnifying power and calibration tool and intended to produce automatic lighting for maintaining a stable environment for a high precision system. We also developed the algorithms for analyzing the nut. We apply the system to real factory field and verify that it is better than the man power in terms of error rate.
