Medical implant devices are one of the targets of the US's Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for tracking in case of a serious adverse event since they are directly connected to the lives of patients. The US law stipulates that the public health agency shall order implantable device makers to track their product down to the patient level if a serious adverse event has occurred or defects have been discovered; in reality, however, the agency can pass on the responsibility for tracking or recalling faulty devices to the manufacturers or use mass media. This article proposes an efficient tracking and recall management system and examines four main virtual scenarios based on such. This research seeks to suggest a system that enables FDA to perform accurate and prompt tracking and recall management for patients' enhanced safety.

As CBD technologies and researches have been matured, component framework as a larger reuse unit than component is being introduced. Especially issues related with adaptation and integration of components in CBD are being raised as a new research topic. The component framework is given as a solution to resolve these issues. However, current approaches don't suggest a sound and comprehensive reference model and development process applying reference model. In order to develop practical and stable component framework, reference model and concrete guidelines are essential elements. In this paper, we propose a generic reference model integrating existing reference models and a design technique of component framework based on it. Especially, we propose concrete and pragmatic guidelines such as how to design component framework architecture's view and style, how to design commonality and variability of component framework, how to design macro workflows among components, and so on. We believe that the proposed reference model becomes basis for component framework development, and the proposed design technique will support reliable and effective development of the component framework.

최근 소프트웨어의 수요가 증가함에 따라 수요를 충족시키기 위한 다양한 응용 소프트웨어 개발 방식 중 컴포넌트 기반 소프트웨어 개발(CBSD: Component-Based Software Development) 기술이 빠르게 발전하였고, 이에 실제 개발된 컴포넌트의 합성을 통한 커다란 응용 소프트웨어 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 또한 컴포넌트들이 서로 정확하게 합성되고, 작동할 수 있는 방법으로 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐 기반의 합성 환경에 대한 연구들이 진행되고 많은 방법들이 제안되었다[1]. 이에 본 논문에서는 지금껏 제안된 아키텍쳐 모델들이 갖고 있는 소프트웨어 개발에 있어 전체적인 흐름파악의 어려움과 변경의 파급효과라는 문제점들을 해결 및 최소화 시킬 수 있는 방법으로 제안된 워크플로우라는 개념을 사용한 소프트웨어 아키텍쳐 모델에 대한 추가 연구와 더불어 아키텍쳐의 명세를 XML로 정의하므로, 명세 구문의 수정 및 확장이 용이하도록 하였다.

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a deep learning architecture combining two task models to generate synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images from low-tesla magnetic resonance (MR) images to improve metallic marker visibility. Methods: Twenty-three patients with cervical cancer treated with intracavitary radiotherapy (ICR) were retrospectively enrolled, and images were acquired using both a computed tomography (CT) scanner and a low-tesla MR machine. The CT images were aligned to the corresponding MR images using a deformable registration, and the metallic dummy source markers were delineated using threshold-based segmentation followed by manual modification. The deformed CT (dCT), MR, and segmentation mask pairs were used for training and testing. The sCT generation model has a cascaded three-dimensional (3D) U-Net-based architecture that converts MR images to CT images and segments the metallic marker. The performance of the model was evaluated with intensity-based comparison metrics. Results: The proposed model with segmentation loss outperformed the 3D U-Net in terms of errors between the sCT and dCT. The structural similarity score difference was not significant. Conclusions: Our study shows the two-task-based deep learning models for generating the sCT images using low-tesla MR images for 3D ICR. This approach will be useful to the MR-only workflow in high-dose-rate brachytherapy.

Purpose and Method: Despite benefits of building energy simulations, practitioners seem to be reluctant to use simulations for design decision making. By means of survey and interviews, this study aims to investigate domestic hindrance against increasing simulation usability, and to collect user requirement to enhance technical functionality of the simulation. Also this study compares the Information Sharing Workflow by Stantec and general domestic design process in order to identify a direction of the Integrated Design Process. Result: Finally this study wraps up with suggestions of how simulation functionality and use protocol should be in order to satisfy user requirement and also to gather more users.

This paper is about implementation issues for use of the Internet technology in education. An examination of the current status of virtual university provides guidance for subsequent prototype development. A virtual university is the Internet based process by which students increase their specific knowledge and skills via electronic interaction with content and people. Virtual university enables colleges and universities to provide students and faculty with network access to courseware and educational materials on multimedia servers free from time and geography constraints. In this paper, we present a prototype instruction support system (ISS). The ISS consists of the following components in architecture: Internet, software, hardware, database systems, users, and workflow. The ISS also assists several functions as follows: lecture notes, register processes, attendance checks, built-in boards, grading systems, questions and answers, electronic libraries, chats, and search engines. Our work will provide a guideline for the development of a virtual classroom for distance education and learning.

There are technological, operational and environmental constraints at tactical edge, which are disconnected operation, intermittent connectivity, and limited bandwidth (DIL), size, weight and power (SWaP) limitations, ad-hoc and mobile network, and so on. To overcome these limitations and constraints, we use service-oriented architecture (SOA) based technologies. In our research, we propose a hierarchical mission service model that supports service-oriented mission planning and execution in order for a commander to operate various SW required for mission in battlefield environment. We will also implement development tools that utilize the workflow technology and semantic capability-based recommendation and apply them to combat mission scenarios to demonstrate effectiveness.

본 논문에서는 기업과 정부의 다양한 조직체계를 반영하고 워크플로우의 현실적/효율적 운영관리 및 여러 복잡한 직책에 의해 발생하는 복잡성 해결을 위해 적합한 접근제어 모델인 역할기반 접근제어(RBAC: Role Based Access Control)를 이용한 워크플로우 조직 관리 시스템에 관하여 기술하고 설계한다. 역할 기반 워크플로우 조직 관리 시스템은 앞으로 매우 성장 가능성이 높은 시장을 형성할 것으로 예상되며 다양한 조직체계를 반영하는 데 적합한 접근제어 모델이다. 현재 기업, 정부, 공공기관 등의 서로 다른 조직체계에 워크플로우를 적용하게 되는 경우 조직관리 시스템은 워크플로우 시스템에 있어서 필수 컴포넌트로 자리 잡고 있지만 기존 조직관리 시스템들은 보안문제나 동적인 조직의 관리에 문제점을 갖고 있는것이 사실이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 "역할 기반 접근 제어"라고 하는 RBAC(Role-Based Access Control)의 기본 개념과 워크플로우 엔진과 역할기반의 워크플로우 조직관리 시스템간의 관계에 따른 역할기반 워크플로우 조직 관리 시스템을 제안, 설계한다.

The need for content-based retrieval from visual media, such as image and video data, is ever increasing rapidly in many applications, such as electronic art museums, internet shopping malls, internet search engines, and medical information systems. In our previous research, we proposed an architecture, called the HERMES, which is a Web Service-enabled visual media retrieval framework. In this paper, we propose the Web Service workflows that are employed in the HERMES. We describe how we designed the workflows for service registration and query processing in the framework. We especially explain how metadata and ontology can be utilized to realize more intelligent content-based retrieval on visual media data.
