The Embedded system provides human-centric services in many fields of education, information, industry and service, and monitoring programs have been variously developed for managing, controlling and testing for these embedded systems. Currently, many kernel trace toolkits are being used for monitoring. These trace toolkits are so complicate that we present $ETT^{plus}$, our simple and explicit embedded kernel trace toolkit, for embedded systems and describe the transmission method for trace data between the embedded target system and the host system. $ETT^{plus}$ provides the solution to solve the problems such as the difficult kernel patch and file system dependency in existing kernel trace toolkits like LTT. Furthermore, we present the experimental results about embedded system performance evaluations such as system call execute time or network data transmission time by using $ETT^{plus}$.

HCI 연구의 주된 주제는 인간중심의 상호작용 환경의 개발이다. 이러한 개발과정에서 새로운 인터페이스 환경이 실생활에 어떠한 기능적 효용가치를 가져다 줄 것인가에 관한 문제가 중요하게 고려되어야 한다. 이를 위해 실질적인 적용사례 구축을 통해 효용성을 입증하는 것이 필요하다. 또한, 최근의 HCI는 기존의 인터페이스 수단을 대체하는 것을 목적으로 개발되어 왔으나, 보다 발전된 접근방법으로서 기존의 인터페이스가 소화할 수 없었던 상호작용의 의미론적 요소들을 다루는 것이 필요할 것이다. 이러한 맥락에서 기존 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 문제해결 프로세스의 한 예를 고찰하고 이것이 새로운 HCI환경에서 효과적인 방법으로 어떻게 구현될 수 있는가에 대한 구체적인 사례를 연구하였다. 본 논문은 문제해결의 한 예로서, '복수개의 결정사안 중 최선의 방안을 도출하는 의사결정과정'에서 HCI를 접목한 효과적인 의사결정 프로세스를 제안하고 이의 효용성을 검증한다. 이러한 의사결정 방법론으로 기존에 사용되는 AHP(Analytic Hierarchy Process)가 대표적이다. 일반적으로 AHP는 각 고려인자간 쌍대비교(pairwise comparisons)를 통해 중요도를 평가하는 과정을 포함한다. 이 과정을 통해 각각의 인자간의 쌍대비교치를 결정한 후 일련의 계산과정을 거쳐 그 결과를 도출한다. 이 작업은 통상적인 데스크탑 컴퓨터 환경에서 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 각 인자간의 쌍대비교를 통한 우선순위를 결정하는 과정에서 새로운 인터페이스 환경의 적용을 위한 효과적인 연산 알고리즘을 제안하고 이의 효용성을 검증한다. 또한 의사결정 과정의 직관적 가시화를 위해 기본적인 프리미티므 도형으로 이루어진 그래픽 인터페이스를 구현하고, 기존의 의사결정 과정과 그 효용성을 비교한다.

Having a virtual talking face along with a virtual body increases immersion in VR applications. As virtual reality (VR) techniques develop, various applications are increasing including multi-user social networking and education applications that involve talking avatars. Due to a lack of sensory information for full face and body motion capture in consumer-grade VR, most VR applications do not show a synced talking face and body. We propose a novel method, targeted for VR applications, for talking face synced with audio with an upper-body inverse kinematics. Our system presents a mirrored avatar of a user himself in single-user applications. We implement the mirroring in a single user environment and by visualizing a synced conversational partner in multi-user environment. We found that a realistic talking face avatar is more influential than an un-synced talking avatar or an invisible avatar.

Abilities of sensing and communication are vested in private things of actual space, therefore, Ubiquitous Computing which is offered various services with human approach will be common in the future society. For the realization of this Ubiquitous Service requires some technique such as situations of environment and recognition of locations by the Sensor Network, then sensor data have to be transferred to an application service after processes. However, there are some hindrances for communication between an application service and sensor data, these are that accessibility of data usefulness and problems of Platform and protocol in each sensors. In this paper, suggest a reference model that is independent from platform and implementation language, for USN application service with using standardized protocol.

Mobile devices such as mobile phones or PDAs are considered as main interlace tools in ubiquitous computing environment. For searching information in mobile device, it should be possible for user to input some text as well as to control cursor for navigation. So, we should find efficient interlace method for text input in limited dimension of mobile devices. This study intends to suggest a new approach to mobile interaction using camera based virtual keyboard for text input in mobile devices. We developed a camera based virtual keyboard prototype using a PC camera and a small size LCD display. User can move the prototype in the air to control the cursor over keyboard layout in screen and input text by pressing a button. The new interaction method in this study is evaluated as competitive compared to mobile phone keypad in left input efficiency. And the new method can be operated by one hand and make it possible to design smaller device by eliminating keyboard part. The new interaction method can be applied to text input method for mobile devices requiring especially small dimension. And this method can be modified to selection and navigation method for wireless internet contents on small screen devices.

IoT edge services utilizing neuromorphic hardware architectures are suitable for autonomous IoT applications as they perform intelligent processing on the device itself. However, spiking neural networks applied to neuromorphic hardware are difficult for IoT developers to comprehend due to their complex structures and various hyper-parameters. In this paper, we propose a method for generating spiking neural network (SNN) models that satisfy user performance requirements while considering the constraints of neuromorphic hardware. Our proposed method utilizes previously trained models from pre-processed data to find optimal SNN model parameters from profiling data. Comparing our method to a naive search method, both methods satisfy user requirements, but our proposed method shows better performance in terms of runtime. Additionally, even if the constraints of new hardware are not clearly known, the proposed method can provide high scalability by utilizing the profiled data of the hardware.

As the use of various IoT devices increases, the importance of IoT platforms is also rising. Recently, artificial intelligence technology is being combined with IoT devices, and research applying a neuromorphic architecture to IoT devices with low power is also increasing. In this paper, an application scenario is proposed based on NA-IDE (Neuromorphic Architecture-based autonomous IoT application integrated development environment) with IoT devices and FPGA devices in a GUI format. The proposed scenario connects a camera module to an IoT device, collects MNIST dataset images online, recognizes the collected images through a neuromorphic board, and displays the recognition results through a device module connected to other IoT devices. If the neuromorphic architecture is applied to many IoT devices and used for various application services, the autonomous IoT application integrated development environment based on the neuromorphic architecture is expected to emerge as a core technology leading the 4th industrial revolution.

As R&D(Research and Development) is going on actively to develop technologies for the ubiquitous computing environment, which Is the human-oriented future computing environment, GIS dealing with spatio-temporal data is emerging as a promising technology. This also increases the necessity of the middleware for providing services to give interoperability in various heterogeneous environments. The core technologies of the middleware are real-time processing technology of data streams coming unceasingly from positioning systems and data stream processing technology developed for non-spatio-temporal data. However, it has problems in processing queries on spatio-temporal data efficiently. Accordingly, this paper designed and implemented the spatio-temporal middleware that provides interoperability between a mobile spatio-temporal DBMS(DataBase Management System) and a server spatio-temporal MMDBMS(Main Memory DataBase Management System). The spatio-temporal middleware maintains interoperability among heterogeneous devices and guarantees data integrity in query processing through real-time processing of unceasing spatio-temporal data streams and two way synchronization of spatio-temporal DBMSs. In addition, it manages session for the connection of each spatio-temporal DBMS and manages resources for its stable operation. Finally, this paper proved the usability of the spatio-temporal middleware by applying it to a real-time position tracking system.

Recently, human based computing environment for supporting users to concentrate only user task without sensing other changes from users is being progressively researched and developed. But middleware deletes steream data processed for reducing process load of massive information from RFID sensor in this computing. So, this kind of middleware have problems when user demands probability or statistics needed for data warehousing or data mining and when user demands very important stream data repeatedly but already discarded in the middleware every former time. In this paper, we designs Sensor Middleware Architecture on Multi Level Spatial DBMS with Snapshot and manage repeatedly required stream datas to solve reusing problems of historical stream data in current middleware. This system uses disk databse that manages historical stream datas filtered in middleware for requiring services using historical stream information as data mining or data warehousing from user, and uses memory database that mamages highly reuseable data as a snapshot when stream data storaged in disk database has high reuse frequency from user. For the more, this system processes memory database management policy in a cycle to maintain high reusement and rapid service for users. Our paper system solves problems of repeated requirement of stream datas, or a policy decision service using historical stream data of current middleware. Also offers variant and rapid data services maintaining high data reusement of main memory snapshot datas.

In this paper, we propose an effective software education scheme for universities. The key idea of this software education scheme is to analyze software curriculum of QS world university rankings Top 10, SW-oriented university, and regional main national university. And based on the results, we propose five improvements for the effective SW education method of universities. The first is to enhance the adaptability of the industry by developing courses based on the SW developer's job analysis in the curriculum development process. Second, it is necessary to strengthen the curriculum of the 4th industrial revolution core technologies(cloud computing, big data, virtual/augmented reality, Internet of things, etc.) and integrate them with various fields such as medical, bio, sensor, human, and cognitive science. Third, programming language education should be included in software convergence course after basic syntax education to implement projects in various fields. In addition, the curriculum for developing system programming developers and back-end developers should be strengthened rather than application program developers. Fourth, it offers opportunities to participate in industrial projects by reinforcing courses such as capstone design and comprehensive design, which enables product-based self-directed learning. Fifth, it is necessary to develop university-specific curriculum based on local industry by reinforcing internship or industry-academic program that can acquire skills in local industry field.
