Furniture design is no exception to human desire for pursuit of the nature. In various design fields, it has turned out nature-decorative method in the past, and also recently it has turned out bio-adaptive method which is more root design process using principal of generation in nature world. The purpose of this study is to analyze application methods and characteristics of fractal geometry and voronoi diagram which are most representative principals of generative design in nature by research on the example of furniture design using these principals. The results of having analyzed fumitures by generative design can be summarized as follows; design principals of fractal; superposition, scaling, repetition & gradation, deformation, distortion and voronoi diagram; individual speciation, variational patten, repetition gradation, ambiguous boundary create new design concept and emergent form in furniture design. Application methods are 'form emergence by algorithm', 'conventional process based on principals of generative design', and 'reproduction of pattern from generative design'. Biological reinterpretations and new explorations of principals of nature generation offer unbounded possibilities for furniture design.

Medium voltage control applications due to obtain better output voltage and reduced electro-magnetic interference multi level inverter is used. In closed loop control with inverter, the PI controller does not operate satisfactorily when the operating point changes. This paper presents the performance of Co-Efficient diagram PI controller based indirect vector controlled induction motor drive fed from three-level inverter under different operating conditions (dynamic and steady state). The proposed Co-Efficient diagram PI controller based three level inverter significantly reduces the torque ripple compared to that of conventional PI controller. The performance of the indirect vector controlled induction motor drive has been simulated at different operating conditions. For three-level inverter control, a simplified space vector modulation technique is implemented, which reduces the coordinate transformations complications in the algorithms. The performance parameters, torque ripple contents and THD of induction motor drive with three-level inverter is compared under different operating conditions using CDM-PI and conventional PI controllers.

UML is a very good description of object-oriented concepts and supports the use case diagram for analyzing the system functionality, the class diagram for representing the domain object in the analysis step, the sequence diagram for connecting the action in the class. The visual-based, object-oriented LabVIEW OOP is an intuitive design tool that can be executed at the same time as a development tool. However, even the system developer using LabVIEW OOP is needed known about the object-oriented concept in the design stage. In this paper, we suggest the method to applying the UML modeling diagram to LabVIEW OOP design.

It's difficult for other designer to understand easily, due to existing abstract form-generation method of digital authors like Greg Lynn and Peter D. Eisenman. This study uses IDEF${\emptyset}$ process diagram in order to remodel procedures and elements of this abstract 3d based form-generation method. IDEF${\emptyset}$ process diagram is the method operated prior to a design of digital program. For object-oriented modeling of each form-generation element technology, IDEF${\emptyset}$ process has been modeled. For this sort of IDEF${\emptyset}$ process modeling, digital architectural theory and analysis method has been generalized With them above, this study suggests the 3d-based form-generation IDEF${\emptyset}{\emptyset}$process model for developing digital tool eventually through the object-oriented components and setting up the mutual roles, relation as well. In conclusion, 3d-based form-generation IDEF${\emptyset}$process model, this study suggests, models form generation methods of existing digital authors using IDEF${\emptyset}$ process for developing digital tool in the future.

Finding the exact location of faults in a program requires enormous time and effort. Several fault localization methods based on control flows of a program have been studied for decades. Unfortunately, these methods are not applicable to programs based on data-flow languages. A recently proposed mutation-based fault localization method is applicable to data-flow languages, as well as control-flow languages. However, there are no studies on the effectiveness of the mutation-based fault localization method for data-flow based programs. In this paper, we provided an experimental case study to evaluate the effectiveness of mutation-based fault localization on programs implemented in Function Block Diagram (FBD), a widely used data-flow based language in safety-critical systems implementation. We analyzed several real faults in the implementation of FBD programs of a nuclear reactor protection system, and evaluated the mutation-based fault localization effectiveness for each fault.

In this paper. a learning method VoD-EBP for neural networks is proposed, which learn patterns by error back propagation. Based on Voronoi diagram, the method initializes the weights of the neural networks systematically, wh~ch results in faster learning speed and alleviated local optimum problem. The method also shows better the reliability of the design of neural network because proper number of hidden nodes are determined from the analysis of Voronoi diagram. For testing the performance, this paper shows the results of solving the XOR problem and the parity problem. The results were showed faster learning speed than ordinary error back propagation algorithm. In solving the problem, local optimum problems have not been observed.

In this paper we introduce the method, procedure and result of RAM prediction for interlocking system which is applied for AREX signaling system. For RAM prediction, we breakdown the interlocking system to the LRU level and select the LRUs of which failure can cause the service delay. The prediction of reliability is based on the Reliability Block Diagram which is the functional diagram composed of selected LRUs and finally, the availability of interlocking system is estimated from the combination of reliability and maintainability.

A Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) is a graph-based data structure that calculates an exact top event probability (TEP). It has been a very difficult task to develop an efficient BDD algorithm that can solve a large problem since it is highly memory consuming. In order to solve a large reliability problem within limited computational resources, many attempts have been made, such as static and dynamic variable ordering schemes, to minimize BDD size. Additional effort was the development of a ZBDD (Zero-suppressed BDD) algorithm to calculate an approximate TEP. The present method is the first successful application of a BDD truncation. The new method is an efficient method to maintain a small BDD size by a BDD truncation during a BDD calculation. The benchmark tests demonstrate the efficiency of the developed method. The TEP rapidly converges to an exact value according to a lowered truncation limit.

This paper proposes an autonomous navigation method for a nonholonomic mobile robot, based on the generalized Voronoi diagram (GVD). We define the look-ahead point for a given motion constraint to determine the direction of motion, which solves the problem of a minimum turning radius for the real nonholonomic mobile robot. This method can be used to direct the robot to explore an unknown environment and construct smooth feedback curves for the nonholonomic robot. As the trajectories can be smoothed, the position of the robot can be stabilized in the plane. The simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed methods for the nonholonomic mobile robot. Furthermore, this approach is worth drawing on the experience of any other mobile robots.

This paper describes the application of a model-based system design method critical to complex intelligent systems, PSARE, to a welding robot development to define its top level architecture. The PSARE model consists of requirement model which describes the core processes(function) of the system, enhanced requirement model which adds technology specific processes to requirement model and allocates them to architecture model, and architecture model which describes the structure and interfaces and flows of the modules of the system. This paper focuses on the detailed procedure and method rather than the detailed domain model of the welding robot. In this study, only the top level architecture of a welding robot was defined using the PSARE method. However, the method can be repeatedly applied to the lower level architecture of the robot until the process which the robot should perform can be clearly defined. The enhanced data flow diagram in this model separates technology independent processes and technology specific processes. This approach will provide a useful base not only for improvement of a class of welding robots but also for development of increasingly complex intelligent real-time systems.
