Mixed-criticality systems consist of components with different criticality. Recently, components are categorized depending on criticality by ISO 26262 standard and DO-178B standard in automotive and avionic domain. Existing mixed-criticality system research achieved efficient and safe scheduling through system-level criticality mode. The drawback of these approaches is performance degradation of low-criticality tasks on high-criticality mode. Task-level criticality mode is one method to address the problem and improve the performance of low-critical tasks. In this paper, we propose probabilistic performance metric for the approach. In simulation results with probabilistic performance metric, we showed that our approach has better performance than the existing approaches.

혼합 중요도(mixed criticality) 시스템은 안전에 중요한 기능을 우선시하도록 하는 추가적인 안전 요구사항이 존재한다. 그러나 기존 실시간 시스템의 설계로는 이를 만족하지 못하며, 높은 중요도 태스크가 다른 낮은 중요도 태스크로부터 간섭을 받아 데드라인 미스와 같은 문제를 일으키는 중요도 역전(criticality inversion) 문제가 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위해 주기 변환(period transformation) 기법을 사용할 수 있지만, 스케줄링 오버헤드의 증가로 인해 오히려 전반적인 태스크의 응답시간이 증가하는 또 다른 문제가 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 주기 변환과 스케줄링 오버헤드 간의 트레이드오프 관계를 설명하고, 실시간 리눅스 시스템에서 해당 문제점을 재연한 후 주기 변환의 적정선을 분석하고자 실험을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 중요도 역전 문제를 해결하기 위한 주기 변환을 그대로 적용할 경우, 문맥 교환이 48.7% 증가 및 스케줄링 오버헤드가 28.7% 증가로 인해 전반적인 응답시간이 증가하여 데드라인 미스가 다수 발생하는 결과를 확인할 수 있었다.

Due to rapid development of semiconductor technology, embedded systems have been developed from single-functional system to the multi-functional system. The system composed of software that has different criticality level is called Mixed-Criticality System. Currently, the project related to the Mixed-Criticality System is accelerating the efforts to seek the development direction and take technical initiatives led by EU and USA where the related industry has developed, but the movement in Korea is yet insignificant. Therefore, it is urgent to perform the research and project of various basic technologies to occupy the initiative for the related technology and market. In this paper, we analyze the trends of major project researches and developments related to the MCS. First, after defining the definition of the MCS and system model, we analyze the underlying technology constituting the MCS. In addition, we analyze the project trends of each country researching MCS and discuss the future research areas. Through this study, it is possible to grasp the research trends of the world in order to establish the research direction of the MCS and to lay the foundation for the integration into the military system.

최근 하드웨어 성능의 급속한 발전에 따라 임베디드 시스템은 기존의 단순한 기능만을 수행하던 시스템에서 다양한 기능을 수행하는 시스템으로 발전하고 있다. 이와 같이 서로 다른 중요도를 가지는 소프트웨어로 구성된 시스템을 중요도 혼재 시스템(Mixed-Criticality System)이라고 한다. 현재 중요도 혼재 시스템 관련 프로젝트는 관련 산업이 발달한 유럽 및 미국의 주도로 발전방향을 모색하고 기술적인 주도권을 잡기 위한 노력을 가속하고 있으나, 국내에서의 움직임은 미미한 실정이다. 그러므로 이와 관련된 기술 및 시장 주도권 선점을 위한 다양한 기반 기술의 연구 및 프로젝트의 진행이 시급하다. 이에 본 논문에서는 중요도 혼재 시스템 관련 주요 프로젝트의 연구 및 개발 동향을 분석하고 시사점을 제시한다.

In this paper, an overview of the scoping calculation results is provided with respect to criticality and radiation shielding of two KBS-3V type PWR SNF disposal systems and one NWMO-type CANDU SNF disposal system of the improved KAERI reference disposal system for SNFs (KRS⁺). The results confirmed that the calculated effective multiplication factors (k_eff) of each disposal system comply with the design criteria (< 0.95). Based on a sensitivity study, the bounding conditions for criticality assumed a flooded container, actinide-only fuel composition, and a decay time of tens of thousands of years. The necessity of mixed loading for some PWR SNFs with high enrichment and low discharge burnup was identified from the evaluated preliminary possible loading area. Furthermore, the absorbed dose rate in the bentonite region was confirmed to be considerably lower than the design criterion (< 1 Gy·hr^-1). Entire PWR SNFs with various enrichment and discharge burnup can be deposited in the KRS⁺ system without any shielding issues. The container thickness applied to the current KRS⁺ design was clarified as sufficient considering the minimum thickness of the container to satisfy the shielding criterion. In conclusion, the current KRS⁺ design is suitable in terms of nuclear criticality and radiation shielding.

The purpose of this study is to develop the evaluation system of which the city safety can be realized in the U-City. The evaluation system on "how much safe the present city is" and "how much safe it will be in the future" has been selected and the criticality has also been analyzed. The result of criticality analysis is that the indicator for "how safe the current city is" showed that the disaster prevention and environmental field are important. In the future, the indicator of possibility for the U-safe city should be prepared by the imtegrative operation management system, and on the basis of this, it also showed that the necessary indicator to build the system for keeping the safe city is important. The evaluation system for the U-safe city, hereafter, can be utilized for the city plan, construction, operation, and management utilized by IT in local government.

The poor maintenance practice increases the possibility of system failure. Subsequently, the consequences of failure fall on the aspects of output, safety and healthy, environmental integrity, system quality, and customer satisfaction. Conditionbased maintenance is seen as a potential strategy to improve performance. Whereby, the key success factor of this maintenance strategy is identified as the system inspection. This study aims to investigate the association between system breakdown rate and frequency of inspection. A mixed method approach is implemented by distributing questionnaire and interviewing for data collection. Subsequently, descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and regression are adopted to analyse the collected data from 100 respondents and the results are validated with interview data of 10 interviewees. The research result establishes significant relationship between the system breakdown rate and the frequency of inspection. Additionally, the result of regression analysis confirms that the frequency of inspection is the significant predictor of system breakdown rate. Planning of accurate inspection frequency is crucial to secure the system performance. Hence, the research signifies the importance to carry out regular inspection towards the building systems and components. As a recommendation, the maintenance personnel should assess the risk criticality of the building systems. Then, continuously monitor the condition of critical building systems; regularly inspect the condition of non-critical building systems and randomly inspect all of them.
