The most common way that people communicate is by speaking or writing natural languages.But if people use computers in the modern technology,they should learn artificial programming languages.If computers could understand what people mean when people speak or type natural languages,people would use the computers more easily and naturally.but there is a problem.The language which people use has vagueness.For example,the convential computer system cant's handle the subjective feeling like 'tall' or 'young'.So peole must specify the exact threshold like 'more'than 25 ages'.We have developed the knowledge-based natural language question answering system which can handle sentences having fuzzy concepts by using blackboard model.Our goal of this research is to develop a portable question answering system as interface for database systems or understanding systems.

In the present work, the choice of the nano carbon black and optimum mixed ratio and effectiveness of the mixed carbon black to get a raw data for a manufacturing method of conductive complex board. Optimum mixed ratio of paper sludge & water was 1 : 2.5 for reformations. HB-41-Y was cheaper than Super-P with the single carbon black. Also electric conductivity of HB-41-Y($6.406{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}cm^{-1}$) was about 6.5 times higher than Super-P($9.741{\times}10^{-3}\;{\Omega}cm^{-1}$) at 20 wt% carbon black. This time optimum mixture ratio of the paper sludge and the carbon black to be about 15 wt%, optimum mixed ratio HB-41Y and Graphite about 3:1 and its electric conductivity was $5.824{\times}10^{-2}\;{\Omega}cm^{-1}$.

현재 산업의 고도상장과 함께 주기적으로 고장을 진단하여야 하는 기기의 수와 종류도 급속도로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 여러 산업 분야에서 고장진단 시스템의 이용이 늘고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 고장진단 시스템은 경험적 고장진단 방식과 모델기반 고장 진단 방식으로 크게 나눌 수 있다. 경험적 고장진단 방식은 전문가가 경험한 사실의 범주에서는 신속하게 고장의 원인을 진단할 수 있지만 전문가가 경험하지 못했던 상황에 대해서는 융통성 있게 진단하지 못한다. 한편 기기의 물리적 기능적 지식을 기반으로 하는 모델기반 고장진단 방식을 변화하는 상황에 적절하게 대처하여 고장의 원인을 진단할 수 있다. 그러나 모델기반 고장진단 방식을 기기의 구조로부터 증상들을 추론하여 원인을 파악하므로 탐색 범위가 넓어 진단속도가 늦다는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 경험적 고장진단 방식과 기기의 모델기반 고장진단 방식의 장점을 결합하여 신속하고 정확하게 고장진단을 할 수 있는 통합방식 고장진단 시스템을 제시한다. 통합방식 고장진단 시스템은 대상 기기의 진단 상태에 따라서 동적으로 적절한 진단 방식을 선택하기 위해서 블랙보드 추론기관을 이용한다. 또한 각 진단방식이 생성하는 가설 및 사실들을 효과적으로 통합하여 추론하기 위해서 제어지식을 정의하여 적용한다. 그리고 사용자와 진단 시스템간에 원활한 의사소통을 위해서 멀티미디어 기반 인터페이스를 채용하여 통합방식 진단 시스템을 구축한다.

The people around industrial complexes and polluted areas suffer from the many occurrences of odors, and frequently issue a request for solving the odors to their local government in charge of those areas. Recently local governments whose regions have a number of such areas have a great interest in monitoring odor occurrences and gathering air on demand. This paper proposes a system in which a user can perform real-time monitoring the values of odor and atmospheric sensors, and the management of odor sensing devices using the Internet browser. Compared to previous systems, the system has an advantage of providing the functions for controlling and managing a number of devices irregardless of the location of the user. Also, the system is built around a blackboard-based multi-process architecture, enabling the easy incorporation of a new software model to be found useful. To our experiment, users showed great satisfactions in terms of the easiness of use. Our system has been installed and operated in an area of a local government in which odors are likely to occur.

The paper aims to identify major research issues and basic framework of computer supported collaborative work in design through reviewing recent changes in product development which is getting more integrated, collaborative and computerized. At first the importance of collaborative work in design is discussed throughout the development of design process: from blackbox approach in vernacular design to recent Nigel Cross' es Hybrid model. Then Concurrent Engineering and Quality Function Depolyment are reviewed for showing recent phenomena of integration and collaboration in the process of product development. Computer-aided product development is demonstrated with the case of Blackboard system and Computergenerated form development. In order to outline the fundamental approach for computer-supported collaborative work in design, structures and processes of some related projects are introduced. Finally, based on the findings, some research issues for further rJevelopment are proposed.

Expert system is one of AI area. It simulates the human's way of thinking to give solutions of problem in many applications. Most expert system consists of many components such as inference engine, knowledge base, and so on. Especially the performance of expert system depend on the control of efficiency of inference engine. Inference engine has to get features; first, if possible to minimize restrictions when it constructed the knowledge base. second, it has to serve various kinds of inferencing methods. In this paper we propose knowledge scheme for representing domain knowledge in ease, knowledge implementation technique for inferencing, and integrated knowledge-base engine with blackboard and inference engine. And we describe a expert system prototype that implemented in this paper using proposed methods, it perform diagnose about heavy industrial device. The fault diagnosis system prototype has been studied in this paper will be practical foundation in the research area of knowledge based system.

In the current mobile environment that is indispensable to our everyday lives, various forms of new business models are created including personalized services such as Google's "Google NOW" and Apple's "Siri". These services would not have been possible without technologies on the effective integration of various services and models. The requirements for effective integration of services include, 1) the efficient data sharing among multiple services, 2) the data-driven asynchronous execution of services, and 3) the simple extensible interaction method for the services. In this paper, we propose a mobile service architecture that utilizes the blackboard architecture to satisfy the aforementioned requirements to enable effective integration of various services, sharing and management of data between services, and asynchronous execution of services.

Location management and message delivery protocol is fundamental to the further development of mobile agent systems in a multi-region mobile agent computing environment in order to control mobile agents and guarantee message delivery between them. However, previous works have some problems when they are applied to a multi-region mobile agent computing environment. First, the cost of location management and message delivery is increased relatively. Second, a tracking problem arises. finally, cloned mobile agents and parent-child mobile agents do not get dealt with respect to location management and message delivery. In this paper, we present a HB (Home-Blackboard) protocol, which is a new location management and message delivery protocol in a multi-region mobile agent computing environment. The HB protocol places a region server in each region and manages the location of mobile agents by using intra-region migration and inter-region migration. It also places a blackboard in each region server and delivers messages to mobile agents when a region server receives location update form them. The HB protocol can decrease the cost of location update and message passing and solve the tracking problem with low communication cost. Also, this protocol deals with the location management and message passing of cloned mobile agents and parent-child mobile agents, so that it can guarantee message delivery of these mobile agents and pass messages without passing duplicate messages.

Context-aware computing has been attracting the attention as an approach to alleviating the inconvenience in human-computer interaction. This paper proposes a context-aware system architecture to be implemented on an SoC(System-on-a-Chip). The proposed architecture supports sensor abstraction, notification mechanism for context changes, modular development, easy service composition using if-then rules, and flexible context-aware service implementation. It consists of the communication unit, the processing unit, the blackboard, and the rule-based system unit, where the first three components reside in the microprocessor part of the SoC and the rule-based system unit is implemented in hardware. For the proposed architecture, an SoC system has been designed and tested in an SoC development platform called SystemC and the feasibility of the behavoir modules for the microprocessor part has been evaluated by implementing software modules on the conventional computer platform. This SoC-based context-aware system architecture has been developed to apply to mobile intelligent robots which would assist old people at home in a context-aware manner.
