As digital and computer technologies have grown, human-machine interfaces (HMIs) have evolved. In safety-critical systems, especially in nuclear power plants (NPPs), HMIs are important for reducing operational costs, the number of necessary operators, and the probability of accident occurrence. Efforts have been made to improve main control room (MCR) interface design and to develop automated or decision support systems to ensure convenient operation and maintenance. In this paper, an integrated decision support system to aid operator cognitive processes is proposed for advanced MCRs of future NPPs. This work suggests the design concept of a decision support system which accounts for an operator's cognitive processes. The proposed system supports not only a particular task, but also the entire operation process based on a human cognitive process model. In this paper, the operator's operation processes are analyzed according to a human cognitive process model and appropriate support systems that support each cognitive process activity are suggested.

Human driver monitoring system is one of the most important systems for the safety in driving vehicles, and therefore driver assistance system has gained much attention during the last decade. This paper proposed an intelligent driver assistance system which monitors human driver's states from bio-signals such as ECG and Blood Pressure. The proposed system used mamdani fuzzy inference to evaluate the driver's mental strain and generated warning signals to the driver. The approach using bio-signals in driver assistance system is the main issue of the related systems and the preliminary results showed the possibility of further research topics in developing more intelligent embedded systems with bio-signal feedback.

In this paper, Power Management System(PMS) simulator for Liquid Nature Gas Carrier(LNGC) is developed. Major components of power system for LNGC, such as generator, diesel engine and governor, transformer, circuit breaker, and 3 phase loads models are built based on MATLAB/SIMULINK. With these designed major parts, PMS simulator modeling is carried out. Based on MATLAB/Graphical User Interface, PMS simulator control for LNGC, and Human Machine Interface for monitoring is designed. PMS simulator for LNGC carries out simulation according to sequence of characteristics analysis. By comparing results of predicted simulation for each sequence to that of characteristics analysis, the reliability of PMS simulator for LNGC will be verified.

공장 내에서 부적절한 배선 및 설치 등에 의하여 검사과정을 수행할 경우 noise나 오결선을 유발시키며, 이는 측정해야할 신호가 부적절한 동작을 발생시키거나 검사가 되어 출하 후에 하지 않아도 될 A/S 지원을 해야 하는 등의 추가 경비가 소요되는 문제까지도 야기시킬 수 있다. 이때, 사용자측에서 발생될 불만에 따른 회사 및 제품의 신뢰도 저하는 더 큰 문제가 아닐 수 없다. 본 개발에서는 GUI(Graphic User Interface) 환경과 통신기술을 접목하여 다양한 제품의 검사를 위한 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

Current Western-dominated paradigms of technology are based on a reductionstic view, i.e., machines evolve to an intelligent but isolated object form by serially integrating precise subtechnology, humans and the environment through K rperlichkeit(corporeality or philosophy of Mom), is explored. Parallelism based on holism and embodiment, and relative interactions based on correspondence and interrelationships, are the key ideas in the proposed paradigm. An interactive system, called the Emotional intelligence Interface and Performance System(EIPS), is proposed and implemented to explore the proposed interactive technology paradigm. Also, recent collaborations by ASTA(Arts, Sciences & Technology in Asia), an interdisciplinary project team of artists and engineers, are introduced to demonstrate these explorations.

Telerobot system is being developed for the application to nuclear power plants by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Human-machine interaction and interface are very important elements of telerobotic systems. The main purpose of this study is developing a control system based on 3-D graphic techniques for the easy user interface and realistic visual I information supply. This system possesses the abilities for (1) virtual work, environment modelling and simulation, (2) kinematic animation include redundant behavior (3) interfacing with a real robot system, (4) transformation between real and virtual mode within the same graphics system. This system is especially focused on enhancing the overall efficiency and reliably of nozzle dam installation task inside water chamber of steam generator in nuclear power plant.

Computer system messages play a critical role for users in understanding the system. Messages that are inaccurate or difficult to understand make it more difficult for users to correct errors and increase the chances of further errors. It is an important part of the human interface. In this paper, the generation of Korean and Japanese computer system messages at various levels of politeness is presented as an example of improvement for the man-machine interface.

IEC 61850 based substation automation system mainly consists of human machine interface and a various of IEDs in charge of protective and control functions of the substation. Both of them should require the performance verification of IEC 61850 communication services because their communication relation is the same as client and server throughout the digital network. This paper shows a research result on the testing method of basic communication interface of the IEC 61850 based client, which was implemented by the analysis of real communication between HMI and IED of IEC 61850 based substation automation system and refereed to IED IEC 61850 conformance test procedures.
