Stabilization by decentralized control is an important problem in large scale systems and there has been an increasing interest in this area. The objective of this paper is to obtain the sufficient condition for an interconnected system to be stabilited by local feedback. Recently there has been many papers about this, and we further broaden the class of interconnections for which we can find a decentralized control to stabilize the overall system. The interconnection matrix may take any arbitrary time invariant values and this implies connective stability in some sense. The assumed model is mire general than most of previous ones, and as a special case, when each subsystem is given by companion form of a single inputs the result is compared with that of Ikeda and Siljak. The obtained result is illustrated by examples.

Information security simulator is required for the study on the cyber intrusion and defense as information security has been increasingly popular Until now, the main purposes of information security simulation are security estimation of small network as well as performance analysis of information protection systems. However, network simulators that can simulate attacks in a huge network are in needs since large scale internet attacks are very common in these days. In this paper we proposed a simulator design and its implementation details. Our simulator is implemented by expanding the SSFNet program to the client-sewer architecture. A cyber attack scenario used in our simulator is composed by the advanced attack tree model. We analyzed the simulation results to show the correctness of our network defense simulator.

Multitenancy has gained growing importance with the development and evolution of cloud computing technology. In a multitenant environment, multiple tenants with different demands can share a variety of computing resources (e.g., CPU, memory, storage, network, and data) within a single system, while each tenant remains logically isolated. This useful multitenancy concept offers highly efficient, and cost-effective systems without wasting computing resources to enterprises requiring similar environments for data processing and management. In this paper, we propose a novel approach supporting multitenancy features for Apache Hadoop, a large scale distributed system commonly used for processing big data. We first analyze the Hadoop framework focusing on "yet another resource negotiator (YARN)", which is responsible for managing resources, application runtime, and access control in the latest version of Hadoop. We then define the problems for supporting multitenancy and formally derive the requirements to solve these problems. Based on these requirements, we design the details of multitenant Hadoop. We also present experimental results to validate the data access control and to evaluate the performance enhancement of multitenant Hadoop.

Power exchanges between the grid and the battery through a bidirectional DC-DC converter are essential for DC microgrid systems. In general, the battery is charged when the grid is connected, and the system is powered by the battery when the grid is disconnected. In this mode transition, the saturation of the voltage controller slows down output response and produces large transient errors in DC link voltage. To solve this problem, a novel anti-windup design is proposed to improve anti-windup performance further. The proposed method stabilizes DC bus voltage through a wider range of battery voltage with faster transition compared with that of conventional methods. The proposed method is verified through an experimental setup composed of a 125 W laboratory-scale DC microgrid system.

Desktop grid computing is the computing paradigm that can execute large-scale computing jobs using the desktop resources with heterogeneity and volatility. However, such the computing environment can not guarantee the stability and reliability of task execution because the desktop resources with different performance can freely participate and leave in task execution. Therefore, in this paper, we design resource grouping scheme using k-means clustering algorithm with an aim to provide desktop grid computing with the stability and reliability of task execution. Moreover, we conduct resource grouping using the execution log data of actual desktop grid systems and present application methods of desktop resource groups to fault-tolerance.

The performance of large scale software applications has been automatically increasing for last few decades under the influence of Moore's law - the number of transistors on a microprocessor roughly doubled every eighteen months. However, on-chip transistors limitations and heating issues led to the emergence of multicore processors. The energy efficient ARM based System-on-Chip (SoC) processors are being considered for future high performance computing systems. In this paper, we present a case study of two widely used parallel programming models i.e. MPI and MapReduce on distributed memory cluster of ARM SoC development boards. The case study application, Black-Scholes option pricing equation, was parallelized and evaluated in terms of power consumption and throughput. The results show that the Hadoop implementation has low instantaneous power consumption that of MPI, but MPI outperforms Hadoop implementation by a factor of 1.46 in terms of total power consumption to execution time ratio.

This paper introduces a VLSI (Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit) implementation of the 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) with an application to image and video coding. This implementation, which is based upon a state space model, uses both algorithm and data partitioning to achieve high efficiency. With this implementation, the amount of data transfers between the processing elements (PEs) are reduced and all the data transfers are limitted to be local. This system accepts the input as a progressively scanned data stream which reduces the hardware required for the input data control module. With proper ordering of computations, a matrix transposition between two matrix by matrix multiplications, which is required in many 2-D DCT systems based upon a row-column decomposition, can be also removed. The new implementation scheme makes it feasible to implement a single 2-D DCT VLSI chip which can be easily expanded for a larger 2-D DCT by cascading these chips.

It is necessary to evaluate HMI inaspects of human factors in the design stage of MMIS(man machine interface system) and feedback the result of evaluation because operators performance is mainly influenced by the HMI. Therefore, the MMIS design should be reflected the operators psychological, behavioral and physiological characteristics in the interaction with human machine interface(HMI) in order to improve the safety and availability of the MMIS of a nuclear power plant(NPP) by reduction of human error. The development of human factors experimental evaluation techniques and integrated test facility(ITF) for the human factors evaluation become an important research field to resolve hi,am factors issues on the design of an advanced control room(ACR). We developed am ITF, which is aimed to experiment with the design of the ACR and the human machine interaction as it relates to the control of NPP. This paper presents the development of an ITF that consists of three rooms such as main test room(MTR), supporting test room(STR) and experiment control room(ECR). And, the ITF has a various facilities such as a human machine simulator(HMS), experimental measurement systems and data analysis and experiment evaluation supporting system(DAEXESS). The HMS consists of full-scope simulation model of Korean standard NPP and advanced HMI based on visual display nits (VDUS) such as touch color CRT, large scale display panel(LSDP), flat panel display unit and so on.

The ImageNet dataset is a large scale dataset and contains various natural scene images. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based weighted ensemble technique for the ImageNet classification task. First, in order to fuse several models, our technique uses weights for each model, unlike the existing average-based ensemble technique. Then we propose an algorithm that automatically finds the coefficients used in later ensemble process. Our algorithm sequentially selects the model with the best performance of the validation set, and then obtains a weight that improves performance when combined with existing selected models. We applied the proposed algorithm to a total of 13 heterogeneous models, and as a result, 5 models were selected. These selected models were combined with weights, and we achieved 3.297% Top-5 error rate on the ImageNet test dataset.

Freezing and thawing cycles induce deterioration and strength degradation of concrete structures. This study presumes that a large quantity of contact-type defects develop due to the freezing and thawing cycles of concrete and evaluates the degree of defects based on a nonlinearity parameter. The nonlinearity parameter was obtained by an impact-modulation technique, one of the nonlinear ultrasonic methods. It is then used as an indicator of the degree of contact-type defects. Five types of damaged samples were fabricated according to different freezing and thawing cycles, and the occurrence of opening or cracks on a micro-scale was visually verified via scanning electron microscopy. Dynamic modulus and wave velocity were also measured for a sensitivity comparison with the obtained nonlinearity parameter. The possibility of evaluating strength degradation was also investigated based on a simple correlation of the experimental results.
