Recent systems contain hardware and software components together for faster execution speed and less power consumption. In conventional hardware and software co-design, the ratio of software and hardware was divided by the designer's empirical knowledge. To find optimal results, designers iteratively reconfigure accelerators and applications and simulate it. Simulating iteratively while making design change is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose a hardware and software co-design platform for energy-efficient FPGA accelerator design. The proposed platform makes it easy for designers to find an appropriate hardware ratio by automatically generating application program code and hardware code by parameterizing the components of the accelerator. The co-design platform based on the Vitis unified software platform runs on a server with Xilinx Alveo U200 FPGA card. As a result of optimizing the multiplication accelerator for two matrices with 1000 rows, execution time was reduced by 90.7% and power consumption was reduced by 56.3%.

For efficient construction management, linking BIM with schedule and cost is essential, but there are limits to the application of 5D BIM due to the difficulty in disassembling thousands of WBS and CBS. To solve this problem, a standardized WBS-CBS set is configured in advance, and when a new construction project occurs, the CBS in the BOQ is automatically linked to the WBS when a text most similar to it is found among the standard CBS (Public Procurement Service standard construction code) of the already linked set. A method was used to compare the text similarity of CBS more efficiently using artificial intelligence natural language processing techniques. Firstly, we created a civil term dictionary (CTD) that organized the words used in civil projects and assigned numerical values, tokenized the text of all CBS into words defined in the dictionary, converted them into TF-IDF vectors, and determined them by cosine similarity. Additionally, the search success rate increased to nearly 70 % by considering CBS' hierarchical structure and changing keywords. The threshold value for judging similarity was 0.62 (1: perfect match, 0: no match).

Most of prior works on testing parallel programs have concentrated on how to guarantee the reproducibility by employing event traces exercised during executions of a program. Consequently, little work has been done to generate test cases, especially, from specifications produced from software development process. In this research work, we devise the techniques for deriving test cases automatically from the specifications written in Message Sequence Charts(MSCs) which are widely used in telecommunication areas and develop the testing environment for performing module testing of parallel programs with derived test cases. For deriving test cases from MSCs, we have to uncover the causality relations among events embedded implicitly in MSCs. For this, we devise the methods for adapting vector time stamping to MSCs, Then, valid event sequences, satisfying the causality relations, are generated and these are used as test cases. The generated test cases, written in TTCN, are translated into CHILL source codes, which interact with a target module to be tested and test the validity of behaviors of the module. Since the testing method developed in this research work extracts test cases from the MSC specifications produced front telecommunications software development process, it is not necessary to describe auxiliary specifications for testing. In audition adapting vector time stamping generates automatically the event sequences, the generated event sequences that are ones for whole system can be used for individual testing purpose.

A GEN TEST of the auxiliary power unit of a T-50 series aircraft is performed as part of the operational test of its emergency power system on the ground before flight. At this time, the auxiliary power unit should be automatically turned off via the response signal of the ECU when power is not normally supplied to the emergency power system. If the correct operation of the emergency power system cannot be confirmed on the ground, it is not possible to proceed with the flight. This kind of defect is a major factor causing the operation rate of the aircraft to be decreased. The defect code identified by the ECU was confirmed as a defect in the inverter. However, the same defect was found after replacing the inverter. This report presents an improved method of identifying the cause of the defect by analyzing the response characteristics of the ECU and emergency power system and allows the ECU to be recognized as the cause of the defect if the inverter does not generate a voltage within a certain time. Also, the application of the improved method confirmed that it can satisfy the output request time of the emergency power system and effectively prevent the auto-shutdown of the auxiliary power unit.

As programs get more complicated and they are developed by various hands, the possibility that there are program bugs in the code has been increasing. And developers usually run unit tests to find these problems in the code. Besides, the developers are at the pain of getting stability of the code when they have to modify a code very often for clients requirements. In the methodlogy of TDD(Test Driven Development), developers write a unit test code first, and then write a program code for passing the unit test. The unit test must include the boundary condition test the reason why the possibility of occurring the bugs is very high. When failed to pass the test because of the value of a function is incorrect, not existed, out of the range or not matched etc, the program code will return the error code or occur the exception. In the document, the system is designed and implemented in order to insert the generated code automatically or suggest it to the developer, when the boundary condition test is failed. In conclusion, it is possible that the developer will get the code stability by searching the code and checking the code to be omitted automatically through this system.

Today, the computing environments is very complex, so researches that endow a system with the self-healing's ability that recognizes problem arising in a target system are being an important issues. However, the existing methodology, the goal for the new requirements for self-healing system developers to model and analyze the constraints that must be greater efforts. Therefore, in this paper are aware of problems detected by the system to solve the problem is the analysis of goal-based scenarios. In addition, there is a pre and post applying a strategy to be dynamically reconfigured to show you how to self-healing. These proposed new requirements for methodology, self-healing reduces the load on the developer's analysis.

The design and implementation of an engine control system has become an important area in developing a new car, but the implementation of an engine control system is becoming a tedious and time-consuming work as the level of complexity increases. In order to shorten the development cycle of the control system, rapid control prototyping (RCP) technique deserves developers' attention. A new RCP platform has been developed for an automotive engine control application. This prototyping system strictly adheres to the layered architecture of the final production ECU, and separates the automatically generated part of software, or the application area, from the hand coded area, which generally carefully designed and tested because of the hardware dependency and the efficiency of microcontroller. The $Matlab{\circledR}$ tool-chain of Mathworks Inc. has been selected as a base environment in this study. A newly developed Engine Control Toolbox of Real-Time $Workshop{\circledR}$ converts a graphically represented control algorithm into optimized application codes and links them with other parts of the software to generate executable code for the target processor.

The traditional way for convergence of smart appliances was software integrations on middleware. It is possible advantage to integrate easily and quickly with this way. But basically the middleware approach is slowly executed as it is huge the size of software. To solve this problem, we suggest a modeling tool for convergence. As we can execute and generate the automatic source code at the design phase with our modeling tool, it is possible to do software integration without the middleware. We use one example of U-Home environment to show the convergence for TV and the door lock system. With our approach, we will be able quickly to develop the convergent products what the customers desire with inexpensiveness, that is, the convergence of smart appliances without the middleware.
