Safety critical systems such as x-by-wire systems require in-vehicle network systems that can interconnect various sensors, actuators, and controllers. These networks need to have high data rate, deterministic operation, and fault tolerance. Recently, FlexRay protocol that is a time-triggered protocol has been introduced, and many automotive companies have been focusing on this protocol. This paper presents a design method of FlexRay network system and implementation of FlexRay-based motor control system.

In this paper, we propose a flex sensor-based data glove to track the movements of human fingers for virtual reality education. By putting flex sensors and utilizing an accelerometer, this data glove allows people to enjoy applications for virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). With the maximum and minimum values of the flex sensor at each finger joint, it determines an angle corresponding to the bending value of the flex sensor. It tracks the movements of fingers and hand gestures with respect to the angle values at finger joints. In order to prove the effectiveness of the proposed data glove, we implemented a VR classroom application.

Computing environment in these days aim for user-oriented development called RIA (Rich Internet Application). As a representative development method of RIA, Flex Framework overcomes the weaknesses of the Mainframe and C/S (Client/Server). However, the issues, such as, difficulties in memory management, complexity of the binding structure and large capacities of the compile outputs are left to be solved. The purpose of this paper is to implement the framework which enables the fast and accurate development of user-oriented web application on the Flex platform. DDX (Dynamic Data eXchange) framework proposes standardized and efficient development environment in a Flex platform. And by using scalability-prepared library that is applicable for various job areas, the framework enhances the performance, increase development productivity and help construct stable system.

This paper presents a stable real-time based FlexRay technology which is employed with a standard protocol of the marine electronic equipments and the bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS). The traditional marine communications use NMEA communication protocols, and RS-232 and RS-422 techniques in the BNWAS, thus there are difficulty in seeking stability and reliability. To overcome such problems we utilize the FlexRay protocol technique to prevent data loss or error.

As vehicles become intelligent for convenience and safety of drivers, in-vehicle networking (IVN) systems are essential components of intelligent vehicles. Recently, the chassis networking system which require increased network capacity and real-time capability is being developed to expand the application area of IVN systems. Also, FlexRay has been developed for the chassis networking system. However, FlexRay needs a complex scheduling method of static segment, which is a barrier for implementing the chassis networking system. Especially, if we want to migrate from CAN network to FlexRay network using CAN message database that was well constructed for the chassis networking system by automotive vendors, a novel scheduling method is necessary to be able to reduce design complexity. This paper presents a node-based scheduling method for FlexRay network system. And, in order to demonstrate the method's feasibility, its performance is evaluated through an experimental testbed.

Purpose Recently, 3D factory simulation technology has emeged as a powerful tool for modeling and analysis of a wide range of production systems, however, it has been not paid much attention in Korea. In this context, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive literature review on discrete event simulation softwares and introduce a promising 3D factory simulation software called FlexSim and its application domains. Design/methodology/approach In order to demonstrate worldwide popularity and technical superiority of FlexSim software, we analyzed the recent list of rankings for commercial discrete simulation softwares released by winter simulation conference and users' opinions collected from business software review site. Moreover, several main application domains are derived from a review of the previous research papers that deal with applications of FlexSim software. Findings FlexSim software recently moved up the list of major commercial simulation softwares, and technical superiorities of the software demonstrate that it is a promising tool for practical 3D factory simulation. Moreover, recent research papers suggest that FlexSim software can be used as a component of smart factory system. In this context, it is expected that FlexSim software becomes more popular in the era of industry 4.0.

Recently, ITU-T recommends that FlexE, which allows the flexible configuration of Ethernet signals, be received by OTN for transparent transmission through OTN. To compensate for the difference in bit rate that can occur when mapping FlexE signals to OTN payload, an idle codeword is removed or inserted. However, the detailed functional blocks required to implement this method are not yet available. In this paper, based on the recent ITU-T requirements, a detailed functional block for OTN mapping of FlexE signals is proposed based on 400G class. In addition, based on the detailed functional blocks, mathematical analysis was performed to obtain the characteristics of removing and inserting idle code words, and the simulation results are shown.

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.
