A real-time network in a distributed control system plays an important role for the reliable data transmission. Compared to the field-buses used in the past, TCP/IP protocol on the top of Ethered provides a compatibility between applications as well as an economical method to develop softwares. This paper proposes a modified TCP/IP structure for IEEE-1394 network, with which asynchronous and isochronous data transmission is selectively used for the real-time data transmission in a distributed control system. This paper also shows the performance of the proposed protocol by experiments.

To maintain the traditional notion of global serializability in multidatabase systems has been recognized as one of difficult problems due to the autonomy of participating local database systems. In this paper, we propose a global concurrency control algorithm based on the relaxed concurrency control criterion in distributed MDBs, which can be applied to applications in which the database integration has no effect on the integrity constraints. In the proposed algorithm, the process to determine whether a global transaction can be executed or not consists of intra-validation phase and inter-validation phase.

We propose the hardwired distributed arithmetic which is applied to multiple constant multiplications and the fixed data path in the inner product of fixed coefficient as a result of variable radix-2 multi-bit coding. Variable radix-2 multi-bit coding is to reduce the partial product in constant multiplication and minimize the number of addition and shifts. At results, this procedure reduces the number of partial products that the required multiplication timing is shortened, whereas the area reduced relative to the DA architecture. Also, this architecture shows the best performance for DCT/IDCT and DWT architecture in the point of area reduction up to 20% from reducing the partial products up to 40% maximally.

We propose a system time synchronization method between embedded Linux-based distributed control devices by using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) communication and General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) device. The GPIO signal is used as the trigger signal for synchronization and the TCP communication is used to transfer the system time of master Linux, which serves as the reference clock, to slave Linux. Precise synchronization performance is achieved by measuring and compensating for the propagation delay of GPIO signal and the acquisition and setting latency of Linux system time. We build an experimental setup consisting of two embedded Linux systems, and perform extensive experiments to verify the performance of the proposed synchronization method.

On mobile devices, image sequences are widely used for multimedia applications such as computer vision, video enhancement, and augmented reality. However, the real-time processing of mobile devices is still a challenge because of constraints and demands for higher resolution images. Recently, heterogeneous computing methods that utilize both a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) have been researched to accelerate the image sequence processing. This paper deals with various optimizing techniques such as parallel processing by the CPU and GPU, distributed processing on the CPU, frame buffer object, and double buffering for parallel and/or distributed tasks. Using the optimizing techniques both individually and combined, several heterogeneous computing structures were implemented and their effectiveness were analyzed. The experimental results show that the heterogeneous computing facilitates executions up to 3.5 times faster than CPU-only processing.

Evaluating a project is one of the key activities in managing projects, and thus it should be implemented as a part of the entire project management system. However, currently deployed systems suffer from deficiencies such as the lack of supporting distributed environment and integrity problems. Web service technology, which enables applications to work inter-operatively under a distributed computing environment, is said to solve such problems. In this paper, the web service technology is applied to evaluation management systems. The process of evaluation is designed based on the web service, data is modeled and a pilot system is implemented to test the feasibility of the technology to the domain of project evaluation.

Maintaining materialized views and/or replica can basically be considered as a client-sewer architecture that extracts the changes of the distributed source data and transfers them to the relevant target sites. View maintenance and materialized views are considered to be important for suggesting solutions to the problems such as a decision support, active databases, a data warehouse, temporal databases, internet applications, etc. In this paper an analysis is addressed that formulates the cost functions and evaluates them as the propagation subjects, objects, and update policies. The propagation subject can be the client side, sewer side, and the third: and the objects can be base tables, semi-base tables, and delta files: And the update policies can be the immediate, deferred and periodic ones, respectively.

Uniview system is a client-server system that runs on heterogeneous distributed systems and supports the debugging of various kinds of programs. Its client system provides a unified debugging concept and interface on various debuggers of heterogeneous hosts. Its server system provides debugging services and features openness and scalability by interoperating with one or more debugger processes existing on the same host. Based on FSF(Free Software Foundation)'s gdb and Sun Microsystems's dbx. Uniview system supports C/C++ programming language in various UNIX environments as well as Windows environments. The proposed system was designed and implemented to support the JAVA language, which is prevalently used in recent heterogeneous distributed systems and was partly extended to make a clear analysis of JAVA class file structure. Sun Microsystems's Jdb supplied as a JAVA debugger has very limited functions compared to other programming language debugger. In this paper, Uniview as a JAVA debugging system was implemented to provide debugging technologies which are necessary to debug Java applications but missing in current JAVA language as well as to provide its users with various information.

As the increasing the demand on information service, high-capacity and high-speed telecommunication networks are required. For the networks, very intelligent telecommunication equipments such as DCS(Digital Cross-connect System) will be employed for the fast service on the various types of information including voice, data and image. This paper considers the transmission networks composed of DCSs and optical fibers as nodes and links of the networks, respectively. For the networks, some types of restoration algorithms are compared their characteristics for their potential applications. And a distributed control algorithm is described as an empirical example which is implemented on the BDCS(Broadband Digital Cross-connect System), where the BDCS is a type of DCS developed in Korea. Finally, some remarks on the associated further researches are added.

The frequency accuracy and phase alignment is necessary for ensuring the quality of service (QoS) for applications such as voice, real-time video, wireless hand-off, and data over a converged access medium at the telecom network. As telecom networks evolve from circuit to packet switching, proper synchronization algorithm should be meditated for IP networks to achieve performance quality comparable to that of legacy circuit-switched networks. The Time of Packet (ToP) specified in IEEE 1588 is able to synchronize distributed clocks with an accuracy of less than one microsecond in packet networks. But, The ToP can be affected by impairments of a network such as packet delay variation. This paper proposes the efficient method to minimize the expectable delay variation when ToP synchronizes the distributed clocks. The simulation results are presented to demonstrate the improved performance case when the efficient ToP transmit algorithm is applied.
