Statistical process control (SPC) is a powerful technique for monitoring, managing, analysing and improving the process performance. However, its has limitations such as lack of engineering, statistical skill and training, and lesser importance of activity. To solve the problems, this study proposes an intelligent SPC system using specified agents which are derived through analysis and evaluation of the SPC activities. The activities investigated by the relevant researches are categorized as collection, process analysis, diagnosis, detection, cause analysis and rule generation. Also, the evaluation criteria are established as feasibility of automation, frequency, level and time. The requirements of the agent functions are derived by the evaluation, and the types of customized agents are as data collection, store, analysis, diagnosis, monitoring, alarm and reporting. A prototype SPC system represents that the functions of the proposed agents are successfully validated.

The importance of hi-tech communications technology including mobile or ubiquitous system and the related business field is currently expanding. In terms of wellness for enhancing quality of individual life, ICT technology became a requirement, not an option. The first purpose of this study is to identify factors that influence user's perceived usefulness & perceived ease of use related to the acceptance of TAM focused on ubiquitous fitness service through multiple regression analysis, thereby discovering important factors influencing consumer behavior. In conjunction with the result, the second purpose of this study has also its implication on the u-Healthcare system development using QFD. That is, this research is to propose the possibility of combining the external variables of TAM to u-Healthcare system service characteristics with user requirement reflected by using QFD method. Based on these results, the suitable system may be constructed and developed.

In this paper, we analyze the BER performance of OFDM/QPSK system in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise and improve its performance by adopting convolutional coding. When the channel delay time is shorter than the guard band, the OFDM/QPSK system shows a good BER performance while, when the channel delay time becomes longer than the guard band, its BER performance is abruptly degraded. Moreover, when the transmitted signal is contaminated by a strong impulsive noise in the channel, the BER performance falls to about $10^{-1}$. Also, without channel coding technique, the system doesn't meet even the voice service requirement while it meets the data service requirement with convolutional coding in frequency selective Rayleigh fading channel with impulsive noise.

In this study, we propose a new multi-party electronic approval system. We classified and analyzed several existing electronic approval systems which use the multisignature method. Based on the analysis, we developed a new multisignature method and then applied it to several existing electronic approval systems. By comparing various aspects of the new and the conventional methods, we were able to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The new method is based discrete logarithm so that it lowers the complexity requirement involved in electronic communication and rises the ability requirement, hence makes itself suitable to general electronic approval systems.

Configuring optimization of wireless sensor networks, which can improve the network performance such as utilization efficiency and network lifetime with minimal energy, has received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper, a cross layer optimal approach is proposed for multi-source linear network and grid network under Rayleigh block-fading channels, which not only achieves an optimal utility but also guarantees the end-to-end reliability. Specifically, in this paper, we first strictly present the optimization method for optimal nodal number $N^*$, nodal placement $d^*$ and nodal transmission structure $p^*$ under constraints of minimum total energy consumption and minimum unit data transmitting energy consumption. Then, based on the facts that nodal energy consumption is higher for those nodes near the sink and those nodes far from the sink may have remaining energy, a cross layer optimal design is proposed to achieve balanced network energy consumption. The design adopts lower reliability requirement and shorter transmission distance for nodes near the sink, and adopts higher reliability requirement and farther transmission distance for nodes far from the sink, the solvability conditions is given as well. In the end, both the theoretical analysis and experimental results for performance evaluation show that the optimal design indeed can improve the network lifetime by 20-50%, network utility by 20% and guarantee desire level of reliability.

In this paper, the unified Markov modeling of hardware and software for AVTMR(AlI Voting Triple Modular Redundancy) system is proposed and the dependability is analyzed. In hardware case, a failure rate is fixed to no time varying parameter. But, in software case, failure rate is applied with time varying parameter. Especially, the dependability(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety) of software is analyzed with G-O/NHPP for Markov modeling. The dependability of single and AVTMR system is analyzed and simulated with a unified Markov modeling method, and the characteristic of each system is compared accroding to failure rate. This kind of fault tolerat system can be applied to an airplane and life critical system to meet the requirement for a specific requirement.

The management of user requirements for information system development is a key element. The traceability has been studied in a specific method as using a traceability table or SOA related to the requirement management.

UAV system has the limitation to allocate enough spectrum bandwidth for the operation of multiple UAVs due to the market expansion. In addition, the communication environment of UAV network varies dynamically due to the UAV's mobility. Thus, to operate the stable UAV system and maximize the transmission data rate, it needs to allocate the resource effectively in the limited bandwidth considering the given network environment. In this paper, we propose the resource allocation algorithm which can maximize the network throughput as well as satisfy the minimum data requirement for the UAV system operation in the given network environment based on TDMA(Time Division Multiple Access). By performance analysis, we show that the proposed algorithm can allocate the resource to satisfy the high network throughput as well as the minimum data requirement in the given network environment.

The endless scaling down of the semiconductor process made the impact of the power network noise on the performance of the state-of-the-art chip a serious design problem. This paper compares the performances of two popular circuit reduction approaches used to improve the efficiency of power network noise analysis: moment matching-based model order reduction (MOR) and node elimination-based MOR. As the benchmarks, we chose PRIMA and R2Power as the matching-based MOR and the node elimination-based MOR. Experimental results indicate that the accuracy, efficiency, and memory requirement of both methods very strongly depend on the structure of the given circuit, i.e., numbers of the nodes and sources, and the number of moments to preserve for PRIMA. PRIMA has higher accuracy in general, while the error of R2Power is also in the acceptable range. On the other hand, PRIMA has the higher efficiency than R2Power, only when the numbers of nodes and sources are small enough. Otherwise, R2Power clearly outperforms PRIMA in efficiency. In the memory requirement, the memory size of PRIMA increases very quickly as the numbers of nodes, sources, and preserved moments increase.
