  • This research investigates a system for house design automation. The system is based on an object-oriented building data model, aiming to support the house design process conducted by non-expert users. Its object model, with simple yet powerful user interfaces, enables a CAD system to handle a complicated building system with much ease. Hence, the model dramatically simplifies the design process beyond just the automatic document generation. In this paper, we discuss the aspects of the building data model, introduce critical concepts such as grid objects and structured floor plan, and present a prototype system called GPLAN. The system is implemented in the framework of our building data model, and it provides a host of intelligent features that have been proved useful for house design automation.

  • The hand acupuncture, called Sujichim, is mostly conducted at home. Many people try to learn and apply the Sujichim treatment to the health care of their family. This paper proposes a mixed reality scheme for the hand acupuncture supporting system. Using our system, a novice can easily perform the acupuncture by himself to improve his body condition. Our system has two major phases: learning phase and operation phase. In learning phase, we extract the finger joint lines from the real world image, where the lines are very important for finding the acupuncture spots on a hand. In operation mode, user can easily make Sujichim treatment by the knowledge provided by the computer. According to the experiments, our system is proved to be very effective and easy to use.

  • Web development and Internet technology development bring many kinds of works to web. This is the main reason why XML, document standard is popular. XML in web can be used to express document template or standard. XML with java can be more powerful and general. For example, XML can be used to transmit data and to print data into the screen using Ajax in JSP(Java Server Page) and to make interfaces in android, which is useful to reduce development cycle. However, XML is not easy to learn for the novice. In this paper, we propose the easy and effective way to reduce the learning curve of XML and to make and use XML documents. For the purpose, we suggest template base XML document generation and we design and implement XML document generator based on Template. XML document generator of template-based provides user interface and layout of XML document. So, users can generate XML document easily and effectively.

  • In this paper, we propose the framework of a visual language named VIOLA(VIsual Object-oriented Language for Multimedia Applications), which is developed for web authoring. VIOLA supports the user to construct HTML documents and CGI programs even if he/she doesn't know exact HTML tags and CGI programming. VIOLA, a user interface building part and a programming logic building part are combined by the data-flow model. the user interface building part provides direct manipulation and a WSIKWYG interface, and the program logic building part provides more intuitive interface by using predefined classes and the data-flow model. thus, even a novice user can construct sophisticated applications by simply moving or clicking the mouse. several classes which generate CGI codes are predefined, and they are represented with highly abstracted visual components, By reusing predefined classes, CGI codes are automatically generated. In VIOLA, all major steps in builidng generated wit HTML documents and Java CGI programs.

  • In this paper, we introduce a novel Climate & Environment Database System (CEDS). The CEDS is developed by the National Institute of Meteorological Sciences (NIMS) to provide easy and efficient user interfaces and storage management of climate model data, so improves work efficiency. In uploading the data/files, the CEDS provides an option to automatically operate the international standard data conversion (CMORization) and the quality assurance (QA) processes for submission of CMIP6 variable data. This option increases the system performance, removes the user mistakes, and increases the level of reliability as it eliminates user operation for the CMORization and QA processes. The uploaded raw files are saved in a NAS storage and the Cassandra database stores the metadata that will be used for efficient data access and storage management. The Metadata is automatically generated when uploading a file, or by the user inputs. With the Metadata, the CEDS supports effective storage management by categorizing data/files. This effective storage management allows easy and fast data access with a higher level of data reliability when requesting with the simple search words by a novice. Moreover, the CEDS supports parallel and distributed computing for increasing overall system performance and balancing the load. This supports the high level of availability as multiple users can use it at the same time with fast system-response. Additionally, it deduplicates redundant data and reduces storage space.

  • It is important to retrieve exact information coinciding with user's need from lots of Usenet news and filter desired information quickly. Differently from email system, we must previously register our interesting news group if we want to get the news information. However, it is not easy for a novice to decide which news group is relevant to his or her interests. In this work, we present a service classifying user preferred news groups among various news groups by the use of Kohonen network. We first extract candidate terms from example documents and then choose a number of representative keywords to be used in Kohonen network from them through fuzzy inference. From the observation of training patterns, we could find the sparsity problem that lots of keywords in training patterns are empty. Thus, a new method to train neural network through reduction of unnecessary dimensions by the statistical coefficient of determination is proposed in this paper. Experimental results show that the proposed method is superior to the method using every dimension in terms of cluster overlap defined by using within cluster distance and between cluster distance.

  • This study was conducted for raising the considering the dynamical context of mobile phone use environment in the mobile-phone research. For this I identified the characteristic of the mobile phone use. The first characteristic is that the mobile phone is the context sensitive device. Also, it reflects the user's life pattern because it is the very personal device. I defined the context of mobile phone use with the basis on this identification of those characteristics. I referenced the definition, 'situational context', defining the mobile phone use context. Also, I set up the research scope within the user task that is influential from the situational context, I named this kind of task as the 'contextual task'. I developed the Contextual Task Model in this study. I named the model as the 'ESR Model'. The reason that I developed this contextual task model is that this model can help novice designers and designers unfamiliar with an application domain understand the user behavior and user centered design. And also this model can be effective to communicate each other, I identified the user's contextual tasks three kinds of model. First, the Extend Model includes user tasks that related to extending from user physical working space to the virtual level. Second model is Synchronize Model, which includes issues that lesson the blocking when use several functions at a time or sequentially. Third model is Replace Model, which is come from the characteristic of user life pattern to use the mobile phone. Finally, I proposed an application of this model, CIQ. Through the process to make CIQ I proved the effectiveness of this ESR Model.

  • Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) is one of most effective methods of robust controller design and can be considered as a suitable method for systems with parametric uncertainties. Particularly it allows us to obtain controllers less conservative than other methods like $H_{\infty}$ and ${\mu}$-synthesis. In QFT method, we transform all the uncertainties and desired specifications to some boundaries in Nichols chart and then we have to find the nominal loop transfer function such that satisfies the boundaries and has the minimum high frequency gain. The major drawback of the QFT method is that there is no effective and useful method for finding this nominal loop transfer function. The usual approach to this problem involves loop-shaping in the Nichols chart by manipulating the poles and zeros of the nominal loop transfer function. This process now aided by recently developed computer aided design tools proceeds by trial and error and its success often depends heavily on the experience of the loop-shaper. Thus for the novice and First time QFT user, there is a genuine need for an automatic loop-shaping tool to generate a first-cut solution. In this paper, we approach the automatic QFT loop-shaping problem by using an algorithm involving Linear Programming (LP) techniques and Genetic Algorithm (GA).

  • Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) is one of effective methods of robust controller design. In QFT design we can considers the phase information of the perturbed plant so it is less conservative than $H_{\infty}$ and ${\mu}$-synthesis methods and as be shown, it is more transparent than the sensitivity reduction methods mentioned . In this paper we want to overcome the major drawback of QFT method which is lack of an automatic method for loop-shaping step of the method so we focus on the following problem: Given a nominal plant and QFT bounds, synthesize a controller that achieves closed-loop stability and satisfies the QFT boundaries. The usual approach to this problem involves loop-shaping in the frequency domain by manipulating the poles and zeros of the nominal loop transfer function. This process now aided by recently developed computer aided design tools proceeds by trial and error and its success often depends heavily on the experience of the loop-shaper. Thus for the novice and First time QFT user, there is a genuine need for an automatic loop-shaping tool to generate a first-cut solution. Clearly such an automatic process must involve some sort of optimization, and while recent results on convex optimization have found fruitful applications in other areas of control theory we have tried to use LMI theory for automating the loop-shaping step of QFT design.
