Even though many approaches for reuse have been introduced, software engineers are still hesitating to reuse existing software components. Among various reasons for the phenomena, the most significant one is that existing approaches failed to give substantial benefit for the reduction of developers' effort in reusing software assets. To solve this problem, we introduce a custom reuse model utilizing diverse aspects of components specified by RAS and services oriented architecture. We also carried out a case study to demonstrate its feasibility and evaluated it by comparing it to an existing code-based software reuse process. The proposed reuse model helps in the reduction of effort in reusing existing components by decreasing the time for searching and understanding them. Compared to other approaches such as product line engineering, our approach for software reuse using MPC does not require much initial work for implementing the reuse model in different projects. It is of interest to software engineers who are worried about heavy investment, which can cause the delay in their usual development work. Furthermore, the proposed reuse model is not mutually exclusive with other approaches for software reuse such as CBSD or product line engineering. It can accelerate the benefits gained from them.

In the field of the bioinformatics, it plays an important role in predicting functional information or structure information to search similar sequence in biological DB. Biolrgical sequences have been increased dramatically since Human Genome Project. At this point, because the searching speed for the similar sequence is highly regarded as the important factor for predicting function or structure, the SMP(Sysmmetric Multi-Processors) computer or cluster is being used in order to improve the performance of searching time. As the method to improve the searching time of BLAST(Basic Local Alighment Search Tool) being used for the similarity sequence search, We suggest the nBLAST algorithm performing on the cluster environment in this paper. As the nBLAST uses the MPI(Message Passing Interface), the parallel library without modifying the existing BLAST source code, to distribute the query to each node and make it performed in parallel, it is possible to easily make BLAST parallel without complicated procedures such as the configuration. In addition, with the experiment performing the nBLAST in the 28 nodes of LINUX cluster, the enhanced performance according to the increase in the number of the nodes has been confirmed.

The automated prediction system for seasonal tropical cyclone (TC) activity is established at the National Typhoon Center of the Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) to provide effective operation and control of the system for user who lacks knowledge of the system. For automation of the system, two procedures which include subjective decisions by user are performed in advance, and their output data are provided as input data. To provide the capability to understand the operational processes for operational user, the input and output data are summarized with each process, and the directory structure is reconstructed following KMA's standard. We introduce a user interface using namelist input parameters to effectively control operational conditions which is fixed or should be manually set in the previous version of the prediction system. To operationally use early prediction which become available through the automation, its performances are evaluated according to initial condition dates. As a result, high correlations between the observed and predicted TC counts are kept for all track clusters even though advancing the initial condition date from May to January.

The Purpose of Similarity(Reproduction) Degree Appraisal is to determine the equality or similarity between two programs and it is a system that presents the technical grounds of judgment which is necessary to support the resolution of software intellectual property rights through expert eyes. The most important things in proceeding software appraisal are not to make too much of expert's own subjective judgment and to acquire the accurate-appraisal results. However, up to now standard research and development for its systematic techniques are not properly made out and as different expert as each one could approach in a thousand different ways, even the techniques for software appraisal types have not exactly been presented yet. Moreover, in the analyzing results of all the appraisal cases finished before, through a practical way, we blow that there are some damages on objectivity and accuracy in some parts of the appraisal results owing to the problems of existing appraisal procedures and techniques or lack of expert's professional knowledge. In this paper we present the model for the standardization of software-similarity-appraisal techniques and objective-evaluation methods for decreasing a tolerance that could make different results according to each expert in the same-evaluation points. Especially, it analyzes and evaluates the techniques from various points of view concerning the standard appraisal process, setting a range of appraisal, setting appraisal domains and items in detail, based on unit processes, setting the weight of each object to be appraised, and the degree of logical and physical similarity, based on effective solutions to practical problems of existing appraisal techniques and their objective and quantitative standardization. Consequently, we believe that the model for the standardization of software-similarity-appraisal techniques will minimizes the possibility of mistakes due to an expert's subjective judgment as well as it will offer a tool for improving objectivity and reliability of the appraisal results.

Most programming languages are designed based on English. It becomes another barrier in learning programming languages in non-English speaking country. If a programming language is presented using a native language, the education cost of programming will be much cheaper and the programming itself can be much more fun. However, designing the programming languages based on native languages has not been much focused or published up to now. It is partly because the evolution of popular programming languages is so fast, and partly because the efficiency of programs is much stressed than the source code. But, the designing of programming languages based on native language is not a small issue, especially if we reflect on the education of programming. In fact, there have been significant efforts reported in the Korean programming languages so far, but it has not practically been used in the education. This paper introduces yet another Korean programming language, namely Sprout, which is concise and can be easily learned by beginners. To demonstrate the conciseness of Sprout, we have performed two experiments on Sprout. Firstly, we compared the sizes of the programs in Sprout with those in former Korean programming languages. Secondly, we compared the size of Sprout, the language itself, with those of popular programming languages such as C and Python. According to the experiments, Sprout programs are more concise to 10% on average than those in former Korean languages. Furthermore, Sprout itself is more compact to 24% on average than other popular programming languages.

As the use of software is more wider in the safety-critical nuclear fields, so study to improve safety and quality of the software has been actively carried out for more than the past decade. In the nuclear power plant, nuclear man-machine interface systems (MMIS) performs the function of the brain and neural networks of human and consists of fully digitalized equipments. Therefore, errors in the software for nuclear MMIS may occur an abnormal operation of nuclear power plant, can result in economic loss due to the consequential trip of the nuclear power plant. Verification and validation (V&V) is a software-engineering discipline that helps to build quality into software, and the nuclear industry has been defined by laws and regulations to implement and adhere to a through verification and validation activities along the software lifecycle. V&V is a collection of analysis and testing activities across the full lifecycle and complements the efforts of other quality-engineering functions. This study propose a methodology based on V&V activities and related tool-chain to improve quality for software in the nuclear power plant. The optimized methodology consists of a document evaluation, requirement traceability, source code review, and software testing. The proposed methodology has been applied and approved to the real MMIS project for Shin-Hanul units 1&2.

Packet classification is defined as the action to match the packet with a set of predefined rules. One of classification is to use Ternary Content Addressable Memory hardware search engine that has faster than other algorithmic methods. However, TCAM has some limitations. One of them is that TCAM can not perform range matching efficiently. A range has to be expanded into prefixes to fit the boundary. In general, the number of expansion could be up to 2w-2, where w is the width of the field. For example, if two range fields with 16 bits are used, there could be up to $30\;{\times}\;30\;=\;900$ expansions for a single rule. In this paper, we describe the novel algorithm for converting range matching rules into TCAM entry efficiently. The number of maximum entry is 2w-4 when using the algorithm. Furthermore, it has also benefit about the negation range. In the result of experimentation, the new scheme practically reduces 14 percent in case that searched fields are source port and destination port number.

장기유출해석 모델은 수자원의 안정적인 확보와 이용, 유역단위 기초자료 조사관리 등을 위하여 수자원 장기종합계획 및 전국유역조사사업 등에 활용되고 있다. 주로 국외에서 개발된 모형이 활용되고 있어, 국내의 여건에 맞추어 편의성이 개선된 모형을 찾는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다. 또한, 유출해석을 수행하기에 앞서 지속적으로 업데이트된 모델에 대한 객관적인 평가를 수행한 사례는 드물다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 국내에서 주로 활용되고 있는 장기유출해석모델(TANK, SWAT, SSARR, PRMS 등)에 대한 비교검토를 토대로 각종 사업과의 연계성, 계산의 효율성, 정확도 등을 고려하여 USGS에서 개발한 PRMS v.4.0.2를 기반으로 국내유역에 활용이 가능하도록 개선한 $K-BASIN^{RR}$ 및 입력자료 전처리기를 개발하였다. PRMS 모형은 융설 및 지하수 흐름 등 다양한 기능을 포함하여 강우유출 분석에 활용성 높은 모형으로 평가받고 있으나, 국내 OS환경 및 활용 단위계에서 활용성이 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 소스코드 개선 및 GUI구축을 통하여 PC 환경에서 구동이 쉽도록 재구성하였고, 사용자 편의성 확보를 위한 입력자료 전처리기를 개발함으로써 수자원단위지도 3.0, 임상도 재분류 테이블, 토양도 재분류 테이블의 DB화 및 모형의 구동을 위한 HRU분할, 입력자료 생성이 가능하도록 하였다. 매개변수 최적화를 위하여 하천 유량뿐만 아니라 기저유출량을 대상으로 Monte-Carlo 시뮬레이션 기반의 매개변수를 최적화 기능을 탑재하였다. 개발된 모형의 적용성 평가를 위하여 용담댐 시험유역을 대상으로 11년 간(2005-2015)의 강우 및 온도자료를 입력자료로 활용하여 모의한 결과 샘플의 개수에 따라 NSE(Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency)를 0.9까지 추정이 가능함을 파악하였다. 또한, 유출량과 기저유출에 대하여 동시에 최적화를 수행하는 경우 NSE를 유출량에 대하여 0.8, 기저유출량에 대하여 0.6까지 추정이 가능하였다. 최적화된 모의 결과에 대한 검토를 위하여 계산증발산량을 측정증발산량과 비교한 결과, 유사한 패턴을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 개발한 $K-BASIN^{RR}$을 활용하는 경우 장기유출해석 업무에 효율성 및 정확도를 향상할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Communication between system modules is applied using the Modbus protocol in industrial sites including smart factories, industrial drones, building energy management systems, PLCs, ships, trains, and airplanes. The existing Modbus was used for serial communication, but the recent Modbus protocol is used for TCP/IP communication.The Modbus protocol supports RTU, TCP and ASCII, and implements and uses protocols in embedded systems. However, the transmission I/O devices for RTU, TCP, and ASCII-based protocols may differ. For example, RTU and ASCII communications transmit on a serial-based communication protocol, but in some cases, Ethernet TCP/IP transmission is required. In particular, since the C language (object-oriented) is used in embedded systems, the complexity of source code related to I/O registers increases. In this study, we designed software that can logically separate I/O functions from embedded devices, and designed the execution logic of each instance requiring I/O processing through a delegate class instance with Modbus RTU, TCP, and ASCII protocol generation. We designed and experimented with software that can separate communication I/O processing and logical execution logic for each instance.

This study numerically discusses wave forces acting on a vertical wall such as breakwaters or revetments, subjected to incident undular or turbulent bores. Due to the complex hydrodynamics of bore, its wave forces have been predicted, mainly through laboratory experiments. Numerical simulations in this paper were carried out by CADMAS-SURF(CDIT, 2001), which is based on Navier-Stokes momentum equations and VOF method (Hirt and Nichols, 1981) for tracking free water surface. Its original source code was also partly revised to generate bore in the numerical water channel. Numerical raw data computed by CADMAS-SURF included great strong spike phenomena that show the abrupt jumps of wave loads. To resolve this undesired noise of raw data, the band-pass filter with the frequency of 5Hz was utilized. The filtered results showed reasonable agreements with the experimental results performed by Matsutomi (1991) and Ramsden (1996). It was confirmed that CADMASSURF can be applied to the design of coastal structures against tsunami bores. In addition, the transformation process and propagation speed of bores in the same 2-d water channel were discussed by the variations of water level for time and space. The numerical results indicated that the propagation speed of bore was changed due to the nonlinear interactions between negative and reflected waves.
