Recently, the use of electronic control units in vehicle has increased. The ECUs are connected to in vehicle networks to process a large amount of information. In this paper, for an actuator that is interconnected to CAN and FlexRay, a FlexRay-CAN gateway is presented and a data packing algorithm with a bisection method of a FlexRay slot is proposed. And, a network based actuator control system and packing map is implemented. With the proposed packing method, contact force sensor data are transferred within the maximum allowed delay to ensure the stability. The proposed method is useful for control of distributed system.

Advanced digital computer technology enables the computer-based controllers to replace the traditional analog controllers used in factory automations. This replacement, however, brings up the side effects caused by the quantization error and non-real-time execution of control software. This paper describes the structure of real-time simulator and controller that can be used for design and verification of real-time digital controllers. The virtual machine concept adopted by the proposed real-time simulator makes the proposed simulator be independent from the specific hardware platforms. The proposed system can also be used in the loosely coupled distributed environments connected through local area network using real-time message passing algorithm and virtual data table based on the shared memory mechanism.

In this paper, we propose schemes of blockchain utilization in tactical communication environment. The military tactical communication environment has similar characteristics with blockchain network such as distributed architecture, decentralization, and the need for data integrity. A communication node constituting a tactical communication network is constituted by a system capable of configuring and connecting a network for each node. When a communication node, having such capabilities, is configured as a node of blockchain network, various functions could be performed. In this paper, we propose utilization schemes of authentication, integrity, record management, and privilege control based blockchain technology. Functions for authentication, integrity verification, and record management need to ensure the stored data and could track history. The requirement of function's characteristics are matched to blockchain which is storing data sequentially and difficult to hack data, so that it could perform functionally and sufficiently well. Functions for authority control should be able to assign different privileges according to the state of the requestor. Smart contract will function when certain conditions are satisfied and it will be able to perform its functions by using it. In this paper, we will look over functions and utilization schemes of blockchain technology which could reliably share and synchronize data in a tactical communication environment composed of distributed network environment.

To operate process plant safely and economically, process monitoring is very important. There are a great number of data acquired through distributed control system and process information system. Fault monitoring is the task with difficulties owing to not only the huge amount of data, but also nonlinearity of chemical processes. In this research, the program, REFA, based on PCA and functional link associative neural network has developed. REFA has better learning capabilities, generalization abilities, and shorter learning time than existing neural network programs. In this work its usefulness has proven by application to Tennessee Eastman process.

The 4-20mA analog signal used in the various industrial fields to interface sensor in distributed process control has been replaced with relatively simple digital networks, called "fieldbus, and recently by Ethernet. Significant advances in Internet and computer technology have made it possible to develop an Internet based control, monitoring, and operation scheduling system for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. The seamless integration of data networks with control networks allows access to any control point from anywhere. Field compatible field devices become so-called "smart" devices, capable of executing simple control, diagnostic and maintenance functions and providing bidirectional serial communication to higher level controller. The most important HVAC of BAS has received nationwide attention because of higher portion of more than 40% in building sector energy use and limited resources. This paper presents the Internet-based monitoring and control architecture and development of LonWorks control modules for AHU (air handling units) of HVAC in viewpoint of configuring BAS network. This article addresses issues in architecture section, electronics, embedded processors and software, and internet technologies.

As the scale of broadcasting systems gets bigger and the functionality of broadcasting devices becomes diverse, networking facilities are being incorporated within recent broadcasting devices. Although networked devices can perform many of the additional functionalities, an effective management becomes a difficult issue. Therefore, it is essential to provide an automated management system for monitoring and controlling distributed broadcasting devices across a network. SNMP (Simple Network Management System) is one of the enabling technologies that we could adopt when we build such a system. However, SNMP-based solution has its limitations. In this paper. we propose the TMS800 system, which is a metadata-based device management system on top of SNMP framework. The system is specifically designed for the management of distributed broadcasting devices. It makes it possible to monitor not only the status of devices, but also the videos in the form of still images. Remote control and real-time notification facilities are also provided.

The Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP) at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) constructs the rare isotope accelerator facility in South Korea. Since the accelerator control system uses various Ethernet-based devices and equipment, it is essential to build a unified Network-based control system. Because of the complexity of the accelerator facility, it will be a challenge to install a device in a proper location where the device could react quickly and exactly with respect to network security. In this report, we will present early study on Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) that tests various Ethernet-based devices out on an ideal network configuration in order to find an optimal location for each Ethernet-based device. Moreover, we will discuss future plan to integrate SNMP into Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) that is distributed soft real-time control systems for scientific instruments such as a particle accelerators, telescopes and other large scientific experiments.

A new neural network structure called Self-organized Distributed Networks (SODN) is proposed for developing the neural network-based multidimensional system models. The learning with the proposed networks is fast and precise. Such properties are caused from the local learning mechanism. The structure of the networks is combination of dual networks such as self-organized networks and multilayered local networks. Each local networks learns only data in a sub-region. Large number of memory requirements and low generalization capability for the untrained region, which are drawbacks of conventional local network learning, are overcomed in the proposed networks. The simulation results of the proposed networks show better performance than the standard multilayer neural networks and the Radial Basis function(RBF) networks.
