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.

In this paper, we applied the migration technique to real-time tasks that have relatively low criticality but still important to be dropped by the mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms. The proposed drop and migrate algorithm analyzes the schedulability by calculating CPU utilization and response time of using task migration. We provide analysis to guarantee the deadline of LO-tasks, by transforming the response time equation specified with migration time. The transformed response time equation was able to analyze the migration schedulability. This algorithm can be used with various mixed-criticality schedulers as a supplementary method. We expect this algorithm will be used for scheduling LO-tasks such as communication task that requires safety guarantee especially in platooning and autonomous driving by utilizing the advantages of multiple node connectivities.

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.

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.

We propose a variational wave function for the ground state of the magnetic heavy fermion (HF) systems, in which both the Kondo and the RKKY interactions are variationally incorporated and the local f-orbital state exists as a linear combination of a full local moment state and a fully compensated state (mixed wave state). We describe the mechanism for the mixed wave ground state based on the large-N treatment of the Kondo lattice Hamiltonian added with RKKY interaction. With the mixed wave ground state we can explain several puzzling experiments in magnetic HF compounds such as a small value of local moment, coexistence of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) and the paramagnetic (PM) phases, local quantum criticality, etc.

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.

This paper discusses several topics associated with the densification caused by supertall buildings and their impact on city systems. The paper covers five key areas where a supertall tower creates a concentration of needs and effects. First, the paper comments on population shifts towards the city and how they affect carbon footprint, utilities infrastructure and transport. The effect of single- and mixed-use towers is discussed in the context of population density. The second section brings the issues of transit, accessibility and master planning into focus. The use and criticality of public transport, cycling and walking is described. Servicing and deliveries using freight consolidation and shared systems is also discussed along with their contribution to the culture of sustainable travel. In the third section the paper reflects on supertall buildings' below-ground utilities and drainage provision, particularly the challenges faced in established city infrastructures. The utilities issues associated with supertall concentration (in land-use terms) compared to equivalent low-rise distribution is also commented on in the context of surface water runoff. In the fourth section, the topic of supertall sustainability is discussed and how city systems need to respond to create desirable and affordable space for occupiers. The changing need for vertical communities, 'stacked neighbourhoods' and the notion of a micro-city is described. Finally, the paper considers the energy consumption and resilience of supertall buildings in the context of basic geometry, façade design, climate and mixed-use benefits as they impact city systems.

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.
