The 3D virtual fitting system is a new and very efficient system replacing real fitting in apparel industry and on-line shopping. It is a win-win system for both of consumer and manufacturer which not only reduces design and production time but also resolves consumer's complaints by checking the wearing image beforehand. It is a must-have item in the future. The purpose of this study is to analyze sizing menu, terms, and current status and to figure out problems of avatar sizing programs which substitute human bodies in virtual fitting. We chose three existing outstanding programs in domestic and global market, compared and analyzed the program, manual, and terms that are used in avatar sizing, and investigated the strengths, weaknesses, problems of options and terms and finally suggested an alternative terms. The revealed problems are as follows: each program supports various avatars ranging from male to female, from child to adult, and from oriental style to western style. The image of the avatar could be changed through the options for hair style, shoes and accessories. But we found out some problems. The avatar body types are far from actual human body types, avatar sizing menus and item terms are different from program to program, and terms not yet standardized. Cooperative efforts of industry and academy on standardization of sizing menus and terms should be emphasized for the virtual fitting system to be widely used like the other computer graphic programs or word editors.

We developed a Windows-based program for discrete event simulation of truck-loader haulage systems in an underground mine. The Daesung MDI limestone mine located in Samcheok City, Gangwon Province, Korea was selected as the study area to design the program. The developed program is composed of the graphic user interface (GUI) and simulation engine implemented by Visual Basic.NET 2012 and the GPSS/H simulation language, respectively. When a user sets up input parameters for the discrete event simulation through GUI, the program activates the simulation engine, and then simulation results are displayed on GUI. This paper describes the details of the program development as well as its applications to the study area to determine the optimal number of trucks dispatched at each loading point under different operating conditions.

Recently, as disasters caused by weather such as heavy rains have increased, interests in forecasting weather and disasters using radars have been increasing, and related studies have also been actively performed. As the Ministry of Environment(ME) has established and operated a radar network on a national scale, utilization of radars has been emphasized. However, persons in charge and researchers, who want to use the data from radars need to understand characteristics of the radar data and are also experiencing a lot of trials and errors when converting and calibrating the radar data from Universal Format(UF) files. Hence, this study developed a Radar Display and Analysis Program(RaDAP) based on Graphic User Interface(GUI) using the Java Programming Language in order for UF-type radar data to be generated in an ASCII-formatted image file and text file. The developed program can derive desired radar rainfall data and minimize the time required to perform its analysis. Therefore, it is expected that this program will contribute to enhancing the utilization of radar data in various fields.

In this study, GNLP(GIS linked non-linear network analysis program) for pipeline system analysis has been developed. This GNLP gets the input data for pipeline analysis from existing GIS(geographic information system) data automatically, and has GUI(graphic user interface) for user. Non-Linear Method was used for hydraulic analysis of pipe network based on Hazen-Williams equation, and Microsoft Access of relational database management system(RDBMS) was used for the framework of database applied program. GNLP system environment program was improved so that a pipe network designer can input information data for hydraulic analysis of pipeline system more easily than that of existing models. Furthermore this model generate output such as pressure and water quantities in the form of a table and a chart, and also produces output data in Excel file. This model is also able to display data effectively for analysed data confirmation and query function which is the core of GIS program.

This study developed a Windows-based simulation program for selecting equipments in open-pit shovel-truck haulage systems. Visual Basic.NET 2012 was used to develop the graphic user interface (GUI) and the GPSS/H simulation language was utilized to implement the simulation engine of program. When users establish simulation parameters through the GUI, the program calls the simulation engine to perform the simulations repeatedly. Then, it finds the optimal fleet of equipments required for operating the open-pit shovel-truck haulage systems efficiently. Application of the program to the Ssangyong open-pit limestone mine, Gangwon-do, Korea, showed that the daily average profit of shovel-truck haulage operation can be maximized (i.e. 88,552 USD) under following conditions: (a) 4 trucks are dispatched into each loading point and (b) a crusher with capacity of 1,500tph is utilized.

Polishing a die that has free-form surfaces is a time-consuming and tedious job, and requires a considerable amount of high-precision skill. Some workers tend to gradually avoid the polishing work because of the poor environment caused by dust and noise. In order to reduce the polishing time and cope with the shortage of skilled workers, a user-friendly automatic polishing system was developed in this research. The polishing system with five degrees of freedom is able to keep the polishing tool normal to the die surface. The polishing system is controlled by a PC-NC controller. To easily operate the developed polishing robot system, this study developed an integrated program in the Windows environment. This program consists of four modules: the polishing module, the graphic simulator, the polishing data generation module, and the teaching module. Also, the automatic teaching system was developed to easily obtain teaching data and it consists of a three dimensional joystick and a proximity sensor. The joystick is used to simultaneously drive the polishing system to an arbitrary orientation and the proximity sensor is used to obtain teaching points precisely. Also, to evaluate the stability of the driving program and the teaching system, polishing experiments of a die of saddle shape were carried out.

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are ideal for solving problems involving parallel data computations. In this study, the GPU is used for effectively carrying out a multi-body dynamic simulation with particle dynamics. The Hilber-Hushes-Taylor (HHT) implicit integration algorithm is used to solve the integral equations. For detecting collisions among particles, the spatial subdivision algorithm and discrete-element methods (DEM) are employed. The developed program is verified by comparing its results with those of ADAMS. The numerical efficiencies of the serial program using the CPU and the parallel program using the GPU are compared in terms of the number of particles, and it is observed that when the number of particles is greater, more computing time is saved by using the GPU. In the present example, when the number of particles is 1,300, the computational speed of the parallel analysis program is about 5 times faster than that of the serial analysis program.

In this paper, we implemented a CUDA Fortran parallel program to run the CFD_NIMR model on GP-GPU's, which simulates air diffusion on urban terrains. A GP-GPU is graphic processing unit in the form of a PCI card, and a general calculation accelerator to perform a large amount of high speed calculations with low cost and electric power. The GP-GPU gives performance enhancement of speed by 15 times to compare the Nvidia Tesla C1060 GPU with Intel XEON 2.0 GHz CPU. In addition, the program on a GP-GPU shows efficient performance compared to an MPI parallel program on multiple CPU's. It is expected that a proposed programming method on the GP-GPU parallel program can be used for numerical models with a similar structure.
