Design patterns are used to utilize well-defined design information. As using these design patterns, we can get re-use in object-oriented paradigm, decrease the time of development and improvement the quality of software. Although these design patterns are widely used among practice, most of design patterns information is manually used, inconsistent and its utilization could be very low. Because the design patterns information that a designer applies does not appear in software, it is sometimes difficult to track them. In this paper, we propose a tool support for design pattern-oriented software development. This tool supports design pattern management, software design and automatic source code generation. The design pattern management has the function for storing, managing and analyzing the existing design pattern and registering new design pattern. The software design has the function for software design with UML and automatically generate design pattern elements. By using this design information, this system can automatically generate source code. In the result to include the tracking design pattern element that is not Included In the existing CASE tools into design information, we can build the stable and efficient system that provides to analyse software, manage design pattern and automatically generate source code.

Embedded software generates its outputs using current states of the system as well as external inputs. When a module in embedded software is tested, we need an automated testing tool, which generates possible sequences to reach the module as well as input data of the module, to reduce the testing time and to improve the quality of software. In this paper, we use decision table to specify the functionality of the module and data-annotated MSC (Message Sequence Charts) to describe scenarios, and implement a tool, which we call MSCTest, to automate the testing process. MSCTest consists of MSC graphic editor, test sequence and data generator, and test driver generator. MSCTest is effectively applied to test EsWin which is a kind of window library used in embedded systems.

The evolution of information technology and proliferation of hospital management and managerial applications of computing has led to change in the characteristics, uses and evaluations of software for the hospital management. With the growing proliferation of microcomputer use and the value-added for management strategies, more and more software has been massively developed, produced and distributed for the hospital industry. The user is faced with an increasingly difficult choice in the evaluation and selection of software. For many reasons, users frequently must rely on expert evaluations of the technical functions and quality of software. The objectives of this study are to provide selection criteria for an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and to develop an evaluation framework for the Hospital Information Systems. The major findings of our study are as follows (1) the identification of EMR evaluation characteristics (2) the design and development of EMR selection model and (3) the evaluation of the importance for EMR characteristics using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). We identify 6 characteristics and 22 sub-characteristics of the EMR, calculate their weights, and decide the best configuration. Especially, the AHP methodology can be applied to gather knowledge from multiple experts. Because AHP can 1) facilitate the participation of multiple experts 2) increase group productivity and therefore result in both quantitatively and qualitatively superior outcomes than that of a single individual's work 3) provide a mechanism for reconciling conflict from multiple expert 4) validate the acquired knowledge, providing consistency of facts, and 5) enhance the accuracy reliability of the acquired knowledge increase through of the reliability provided by consensus across multiple experts. Although some further research is required, the proposed model can be regarded as a basis for the selection of EMR.

Though the history of finite element analysis in field of powder metallurgy is not short, industrial engineer is still being dependent on the trial and error approach based on engineer's experience in selecting process conditions. This problem is mainly due to the difficulty in establishing models for the behavior of a powder compact during compaction and sintering as well as finding material parameters for the models and the absence of CAE software with which industrial engineer can easily investigate the effect of process conditions on the quality of product. Therefore, we established very simple and cheap procedure to find material parameters for powder compaction behavior and implemented it in self-developed commercial CAE software for powder metallurgy, PMsolver. Basically, the development strategy of PMsolver lies on simplification and convenience so as for industrial engineers to use it with least training. Using PMsolver, optimal process conditions were found for some geometry and powders. Prior to process condition design, the accuracy of finite element analysis was verified.

In Korea, the calculation of quantitative similarity is commonly used to gauge the substantial similarity of computer programs. Substantial similarity should be assessed by considering the quantity and quality of areas that show similarity, but in practice, qualitative aspects are reflected by multiplying the weighted value in the calculation of quantitative similarity. However, such a practical method cannot be deemed adequate, considering the fundamental characteristic of the judgment on substantial similarity, which holds that the quantitative and qualitative aspects of similar areas should be considered on an equal footing. Thus, this study pointed out the issue regarding the use of weighted value and sought appropriate ways to take into account qualitative aspects when assessing the substantial similarity of computer programs.

The sensor registry system has been developed for instant use and seamless interpretation of sensor data in a heterogeneous sensor network environment. However, the existing sensor registry system cannot provide information for interpretation of the sensor data in situations in which the network is unstable. This limitation causes several problems such as sensor data loss, inaccuracy of processed results, and low service quality. A method to resolve such problems in the aspect of software is presented herein. In other words, an extended sensor registry system is proposed to enable the stable use of sensor information, even under conditions of unstable network connection, by providing sensor information with a mobile device in advance through the user path prediction. The results of experiments and evaluation are also presented. The extended sensor registry system proposed in this paper enhances the stable usability of sensor information as well as improves the quality of sensor-based services.

There are several claimed benefits for the impact of design patterns (DPs) on software quality. However, the association between design patterns and fault-proneness has been a controversial issue. In this work, we evaluate the fault-proneness of design patterns at four levels: the design level, category level, pattern level, and role level. We used five subject systems in our empirical study. As a result, we found that, at the design level, the classes that participate in the design patterns are less fault-prone than the non-participant classes. At the category level, we found that the classes that participate in the behavioral and structural categories are less fault-prone than the non-participant classes. In addition, we found that the classes that participate in the structural design patterns are less fault-prone than the classes that participate in the other categories. At the pattern level, we found that only five patterns show significant associations with fault-proneness: builder, factory method, adapter, composite, and decorator. All of these patterns except for builder show that the classes that participate in each one of them are less fault-prone than the non-participant classes in that pattern. The classes that participate in the builder design pattern were more fault-prone than the non-participant classes and the classes that participate in several patterns: the adapter, the composite, and the decorator design patterns. At the role level, the most significant differences were between the classes that participate in some roles and the non-participant classes. Only three pairs of design pattern roles show significant differences. These roles are concrete-product vs. concrete-creator, adapter vs. adaptee, and adapter vs. client. The results recommend the use of design patterns because they are less fault-prone in general except for the builder design pattern, which should be applied with care and addressed with more test cases.

We have investigated intensively an optical telescope with 76cm diameter and CCD camera system in astronomical observatory of Kyung Hee university, in order to maximize instrumental functions of our observational equipments and to construct a more reliable photometric system. And computer softwares AUTO DOME, KH CCD and KH PHO for astronomical image observations and their automatic photometries with high accuracy have been made for observers w use our observational system conveniently and efficiently. Throughout careful examinations of these programs, it has been proved that the observing time by our program is shorter than that by manual operations, so that, fast and accurate observations can be executed with ease. For open cluster NGC 7063 observed with S/N value of 350 or more by KH PHO, we have found the magnitude measurements of 11 object stars would show 0.007 magnitude difference, comparing with magnitude data from IRAF/APPHOT. From automatic photometry of eclipsing binary, AB And observed by our software, total 220 data points with good quality have been acquired during 8 hours and so we could make a better light curve than that obtained from any observational results by domestic photoelectric photometry system.
