Construction materials usually constitute a major portion of the total cost in a building construction project. Despite the potential benefit of ICT, convincing construction organisations to embrace its use and implementation has proved a difficult task. This study seeks to identify the implementation of ICT for materials management processes in construction projects. The findings from the interviews reveal that the implementation of ICT in the materials management processes for construction projects in Malaysia is at early stage. Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet and handheld devices are found to be the common ICT tools adopted in the materials management processes. The main barrier is found to be the cost involvement at the initial stage or overall implementation of ICT in the materials management processes. Finally, this paper concludes the finding from interviews towards the ICT implementation of materials management in the construction projects.

In this paper, we present a new task scheduling scheme ior the efficient execution of the tasks of compound nodes of hierarchical task graph(HTG) on shared memory system. The proposed scheme for exploitation functional parallelism is autoscheduling that performs the role of scheduling by processor itself without any dedicated global scheduler. To adapt the proposed scheduling scheme for various platforms, Including a uni-processor systems, Java threads were used for implementation, and the performance is analyzed in comparison with a conventional bit vector method. The experimental results showed that the proposed method was found to be more efficient in its execution time and exhibited good load-balancing when using the experimental parameter values. Furthermore, the memory size could be reduced when using the proposed algorithm compared with a conventional scheme.

A dynamic adaptive streaming server consumes high processor power because it handles a large amount of transcoding operations at a time. For this purpose, multi-processor architecture is mandatory for which effective transcoding task distribution strategies are essential. In this paper, we present the design and implementation details of the transcoding workload distribution schemes at a 2-tier (frontend node and backend node) transcoding server. For this, we implemented four schemes: 1) allocation of transcoding tasks to appropriate back-end nodes, 2) task scheduling in the back-end node and 3) the communication between front-end and back-end nodes. Experiments were conducted to compare the estimated and the actual power consumption in a real testbed to verify the efficacy of the system. It also proved that the system can reduce the load on each node to optimize the power and time used for transcoding.

Role-Based Access Control(RBAC) is a flexible and policy-neutral access control technology. But, for large systems, managing roles, users, permissions and their interrelationships is a formidable task that cannot be centralized in a small team of security administrators. Using RBAC to manage RBAC provides addition히 administrative convenience. In this paper we demonstrate the implementation of one of the components of ARBAC99 which deals with permission-role assignment and is called PRA99. We implement it by using EJB component and use Oracle stored procedures to implement it.

Fieldbus provides real-time data communication among field devices in the process control and manufacturing automation systems. This paper presents an implementation method of Profibus in the experimental model of manufacturing automation system. The manufacturing automation system considered in this paper consists of robots, NC machines, sensors, conveyers and PCs. The application task programs are developed on the basis of FMS/FMA7 communication services which are provided by Profibus application layer. The communication and application programs are developed in the real-time environment.

With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web and electronic information services, information is becoming available on-Line at an incredible rate. One result is the oft-decried information overload. No one has time to read everything, yet we often have to make critical decisions based on what we are able to assimilate. The technology of automatic text summarization is becoming indispensable for dealing with this problem. Text summarization is the process of distilling the most important information from a source to produce an abridged version for a particular user or task. Information retrieval(IR) is the task of searching a set of documents for some query-relevant documents. On the other hand, text summarization is considered to be the task of searching a document, a set of sentences, for some topic-relevant sentences. In this paper, we show that document information, that is more reliable and suitable for query, using document length normalization of which is gained through information retrieval . Experimental results of this system in newspaper articles show that document length normalization method superior to other methods use query itself.

본 논문에서는 내용 기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 위한 화상 특징 추출을 고속으로 수행하기 위하여 TCP/IP 프로토콜을 사용하는 LAN 환경에서 유휴(Idle) PC들을 사용한 PC 클러스터에 관해 연구하였다. 실험에 사용한 화상 특징(Image feature)으로서는 칼라의 응집도를 사용하는 CCV(Color Coherence Vector), 화상의 엔트로피를 정량화한 PIM(Picture Information Measure), Gaussian-Laplacian 에지 검출 연산을 사용한 SEV(Spatial Edge Histogram Vector)로서 이들을 추출하기 위한 Task를 Master rude에서 Slave rude들로 전송하고, 연산에 사용 될 화상 데이터를 전송한 후 연산을 수행하고 결과를 다시 Master node로 전송하는 전통적인 Task-Farming형태의 PC Cluster를 구성하였다. 연산에 참여하는 클러스터 노드의 개수를 증가시키며 Task와 화상데이터를 전송하여 이에 따른 연산시간을 측정하고 비교하였다. 실험 결과는 유휴 PC들로 구성된 PC클러스터를 이용한 효율적인 내용기반의 화상 검색 시스템을 구성하기 위해 활용이 가능하다.

After many years of proliferation, the nuclear industry is indebted for a formidable consequence, the safe management of spent fuel. Naturally, the high radioactivity involved with such process motivates the development of effective telerobotic systems. Nevertheless, the existing master-slave type of tele manipulators are limited in effectiveness by the human operator's limited sensory and manipulation capabilities. This paper presents the result of a research effort to resolve such problems by assigning the slave manipulator a certain degree of intelligence; sensing and actuation. In the presented system, a perception-action loop is achieved using ultrasonic range sensor and laser distance sensor interfaced with the PUMA 760 industrial robot system, and applied to automating impact wrenching task for unbolting the lid of nuclear spent fuel cask. The perception-action loop performs determination of the cask location, collision avoidance and centering of the impact wrench onto the bolt head. To aid the insertion task and to provide versatility a mounting module consisting of an RCC device and an automatic tool changer is designed and implemented. The performance of the developed system is tested on the model cask and the result is given.

This paper implements an improved model for access control enforcement in enterprise environments. The integration of the task role-based access control model and the "conflicting entities" administration paradigm supply a specification of static and dynamic separation of duty requirements in the workflow environment. The implemented Extended Task Role-Based Access Control model can deal with the conflicting entities for workflow oriented tasks. It will support elaborate separation of duty policy to tasks in enterprise environment through the classification of enterprise sessions according to their characteristics.

The notion of technological adoption such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) has been examined in various domains such as supply chain management, inventory management and health care. However, there are several unanswered questions surrounding how this technology is adopted in disaster management. This study attempts to explore the potential of RFID in disaster management. The notion of Task-Technology Fit (TTF) is deemed suitable for this purpose and thus used as the theoretical framework that is further validated by employing multiple case studies. The empirical findings indicate that there are six key factors influencing the decision to adopt RFID in disaster management. Some relate to aspects of RFID when it is put into practice, namely cost, compatibility, standardisation, implementation and locatability; while the other key factor relates to privacy and security aspect of information. It is hoped that the findings of this research will inform disaster management organizations to better plan the adoption of RFID for their operations.
