  • 검사점 및 복구 도구(Checkpointing & Recovery Facility)를 이용하여 임베디드 시스템에서 결함 허용(Fault Tolerance) 기법을 적용할 경우 쓰기 작업의 오버헤드로 인해 실용성이 크게 떨어지게 된다. 실시간 운영체제와 함께 어떠한 한계 상황에서 결함 허용 및 복구 도구가 오히려 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하게 되면 이는 결국 쓸모없는 도구가 되어 사용되지 않을 것이다. 따라서 프로세스의 복구를 위해 저장하는 프로세스 이미지의 기록에 소요되는 시간을 크게 낮추어야만 비로소 검사점 도구가 그 진가를 발휘하게 될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 NVSRAM(Non Volatile SRAM)을 검사점 및 복구 도구의 저장 장치로 활용함으로써 기존의 검사점 도구에서 성능을 저하시키는 주원인이었던 검사점 기록의 오버헤드를 개선하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 검사점 기록 시간을 줄이기 위한 방법으로 주 메모리에 저장된 프로세스의 복구와 관련된 데이터를 SRAM 특성을 갖는 비휘발성 저장 장치인 NVSRAM에 저장하여 디스크 접근에 소요되는 시간을 최소화시킴으로써 임베디드 시스템에서 실용적으로 사용 가능한 검사점 도구를 구현하였고, 이러한 연구의 결과를 검증하기 위해 기존 시스템에서 저장 장치로 사용되던 플래시 메모리, 주 메모리, 원격 메모리를 사용하는 경우의 성능과 NVSRAM을 활용할 때의 성능을 비교해 보았다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 결함 허용 도구는 실제 시스템에 적용하여 효과적인 성능을 발휘할 수 있을 것이며, 차세대 메모리를 이용한 결함 허용 도구의 연구에 기여를 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.ate첨가배지(添加培地)에서 가장 저조(低調)하였다. vitamin중(中)에서는 niacin과 thiamine첨가배지(添加培地)에서 근소(僅少)한 증가(增加)를 나타내었다.소시켜 항이뇨 및 Na 배설 감소를 초래하는 작용과, 둘째는 신경 경로를 통하지 않고, 아마도 humoral factor를 통하여 신세뇨관에서 Na 재흡수를 억제하는 작용이 복합적으로 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.으로 초래되는 복합적인 기전으로 추정되었다., 소형과와 기형과는 S-3에서 많이 나왔다. 이상 연구결과에서 입도분포가 1.2-5mm인 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다.omopolysaccharides로 확인되었다.

  • Recently, design of Universal Soft Controller(USC) has been applied to the advanced control room for nuclear power plant. USC is software-based manual control means to control safety components as well as non-safety components in the highly-integrated control room. Therefore, design feature of USC is essential for the implementation of a single workstation in the advanced control room. The traditional control room is replaced by computer-driven consolidated operator interfaces. Considering our design has further reduced the probability of USC spurious signals by requiring two distinct operator control actions to generate any control signal. The reality of USC does not increase the probability of reactor trip because the probability of spurious USC signal is negligible. Universal Soft Control represents a significant evolution in nuclear I&C/HSI System. USC integrates the indicators and controls from multiple divisions into a single integrated visual display unit(VDU) based HSI(Human System Interface). In order to prevent adverse influence on safety function performance from USC failure, ESFAS signals are applied to safety components or functions. In addition, safety manual switches have priority over USC's signals. Therefore, spurious USC signals can be momentarily blocked by selecting a soft control command from the safety VDU.

  • The parallel computer system that uses parallel program on the application such as a large scale business or complex operation is required. One of crucial operation of parallel computer system is synchronization. A representative method of synchronization is barrier synchronization. A barrier forces all process to wait until all the process reach the barrier and then releases all of the processes. There are software schemes, hardware scheme, or combinations of these mechanism to achieve barrier synchronization which tends to use hardware scheme. Besides, barrier synchronization lets parallel computer system fast because it has fewer start-up overhead. In this paper, we propose a new switch module that can implement fast and fault-tolerant barrier synchronization in hardware scheme. A proposed barrier synchronization is operated not in full-switch-driven method but in processor-driven method. An effective barrier synchronization is executed with inexpensive hardware supports. Therefore, a new proposed hardware barrier synchronization is designed that it is operated in arbitrary network topology. In this paper, we only show comparison of barrier synchronization on Multistage Interconnection Network. This research results in 24.6-24.8% reduced average delay. Through this result, we can expect lower average delay in irregular network.

  • The CRM(Customer Relationship Management) is the business strategy model for higher profits and competitive power of the enterprise in a new business environment. The large-scale customer response service technique uses internet, e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), Telephony service, DM(Direct Mail) by customer channel point. Recently, business model diversify for new contract and retaining existing customer to the effort for a profitable model of business. This paper is based on Avaya PDS(Predictive Dialing System) model for CRM bond center. If the number of "available" agents are less than the number of inbound channels, then there may be real-time response problems in PDS system implemented. The Organization cannot afford to have many agents in available mode because of the high cost of manpower. This paper provides two contributions to the study. First, we present Call Object Management Mechanism of Customer Channel integration for reduce outbound consulting and reduce CallBack data in the PDS. Second, we design and implement the proposed system. Our simulation results show analysis of old model and proposed model. The proposed model can be efficiently used in Large-scale CRM.

  • As increasing the number of digital control devices installed on aircrafts and their transmission speed, various digital data buses have been introduced to provide reliable and high-speed characteristics. These characteristics of avionics data bus are highly related on the fault-tolerant performance which can make minimize jitter and loss during data transfer. In this paper, we concerned about a new traffic shaping scheme for increasing the reliability of Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) systems based on ARINC 664 standard. We note that the conventional AFDX with a single regulator per virtual link system may produce aggregated traffics as the number of virtual links increasing. The aggregated traffic results in large jitters among frames. To remedy for the jitter and loss of data, we propose a dual regulator scheme for the AFDX system. The purpose of the additional regulator is to additionally regulate aggregated traffics from a number of per virtual link regulators. Using NS-2 simulator, we show that the proposed scheme provides a better performance than the single regulator one. It is worthwhile note that the proposed AFDX with Dual Regulator scheme can be employed to not only aircraft networks but other QoS sensitive networks for robot and industrial control systems.

  • The large amount of data that emerges from the initial connection environment of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a major factor that distinguishes the Fourth Industrial Revolution from the existing production environment. This environment has two-sided features that allow it to produce data while using it. And the data produced so produces another value. Due to the massive scale of data, future information systems need to process more data in terms of quantities than existing information systems. In addition, in terms of quality, only a large amount of data, Ability is required. In a small-scale information system, it is possible for a person to accurately understand the system and obtain the necessary information, but in a variety of complex systems where it is difficult to understand the system accurately, it becomes increasingly difficult to acquire the desired information. In other words, more accurate processing of large amounts of data has become a basic condition for future information systems. This problem related to the efficient performance of the information system can be solved by building a semantic web which enables various information processing by expressing the collected data as an ontology that can be understood by not only people but also computers. For example, as in most other organizations, IT has been introduced in the military, and most of the work has been done through information systems. Currently, most of the work is done through information systems. As existing systems contain increasingly large amounts of data, efforts are needed to make the system easier to use through its data utilization. An ontology-based system has a large data semantic network through connection with other systems, and has a wide range of databases that can be utilized, and has the advantage of searching more precisely and quickly through relationships between predefined concepts. In this paper, we propose a defense ontology as a method for effective data management and decision support. In order to judge the applicability and effectiveness of the actual system, we reconstructed the existing air force munitions situation management system as an ontology based system. It is a system constructed to strengthen management and control of logistics situation of commanders and practitioners by providing real - time information on maintenance and distribution situation as it becomes difficult to use complicated logistics information system with large amount of data. Although it is a method to take pre-specified necessary information from the existing logistics system and display it as a web page, it is also difficult to confirm this system except for a few specified items in advance, and it is also time-consuming to extend the additional function if necessary And it is a system composed of category type without search function. Therefore, it has a disadvantage that it can be easily utilized only when the system is well known as in the existing system. The ontology-based logistics situation management system is designed to provide the intuitive visualization of the complex information of the existing logistics information system through the ontology. In order to construct the logistics situation management system through the ontology, And the useful functions such as performance - based logistics support contract management and component dictionary are further identified and included in the ontology. In order to confirm whether the constructed ontology can be used for decision support, it is necessary to implement a meaningful analysis function such as calculation of the utilization rate of the aircraft, inquiry about performance-based military contract. Especially, in contrast to building ontology database in ontology study in the past, in this study, time series data which change value according to time such as the state of aircraft by date are constructed by ontology, and through the constructed ontology, It is confirmed that it is possible to calculate the utilization rate based on various criteria as well as the computable utilization rate. In addition, the data related to performance-based logistics contracts introduced as a new maintenance method of aircraft and other munitions can be inquired into various contents, and it is easy to calculate performance indexes used in performance-based logistics contract through reasoning and functions. Of course, we propose a new performance index that complements the limitations of the currently applied performance indicators, and calculate it through the ontology, confirming the possibility of using the constructed ontology. Finally, it is possible to calculate the failure rate or reliability of each component, including MTBF data of the selected fault-tolerant item based on the actual part consumption performance. The reliability of the mission and the reliability of the system are calculated. In order to confirm the usability of the constructed ontology-based logistics situation management system, the proposed system through the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), which is a representative model for measuring the acceptability of the technology, is more useful and convenient than the existing system.
