국제해사기구에서는 사용자 중심의 운항환경 구축을 위해 SQA & HCD 가이드라인을 제안하였으나 이는 인간중심설계(Human Centred Design)를 위한 일반적이고 개념적인 접근방법이다. 본 연구에서는 선교의 다양한 항해장비들 중 ECDIS를 대상으로 실무에서 활용 가능한 사용성 평가항목 및 체크리스트를 개발하여 제안하고자 한다.

Recently, with the growth of various sensor applications, the need of wireless communication systems which can support variable data rate is increasing. Therefore, advanced ZigBee (AZB) systems that support the various data rate under 250 kbps are proposed. However, the preamble structure for AZB systems causes the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. In this paper, we propose preamble structure and time synchronization algorithm which can solve the problem of the complexity increase of time synchronization circuits. Implementation results show that the proposed time synchronizer for AZB systems include the logic slices of 6.92 k and, which are reduced at the rate of 62.3% compared with existing architecture.

해양분야에 e-Navigation 전략이 도입되면서 안전한 항행 지원을 위해 기존의 제품을 재설계 하거나 새로운 제품 설계가 이루어지고 있다. 항행 지원에 소프트웨어시스템의 영향이 커지고 있기 때문에 안전하고 견고한 시스템의 설계는 매우 중요하며, 이를 위해 높은 품질의 확보가 필요하다. IMO에서는 이러한 제품 설계를 위해 적절한 품질을 보장하고 목적에 맞는 제품 설계에 대한 내용을 담고 있는 소프트웨어 품질 보증 및 인간 중심 설계 가이드라인을 공식 승인하였다. 가이드라인에서 품질 보증은 제품 품질, 데이터 품질, 사용상 품질을 만족할 것을 포함한다. 다양한 품질 속성을 만족하기 위해서는 품질 속성간의 우선순위화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 안전하고 견고한 소프트웨어 시스템을 위해 AHP기법을 이용하여 제품에 따른 품질 속성을 우선순위화 하고, 전 개발 단계에 걸쳐 품질 속성이 반영되고 평가 될 수 있도록 한다.

The dominant trend in software development is the globalisation of the software industry. This development is faced with diverse problems, which require solution by the adoption of new processes and development techniques. eXtreme Programming (known as XP) is one methodology which is now at the leading edge of software development. This recent trend in XP allows organisation members to cooperate towards the development of new software independently of the existing developers. This is achieved functionally between the members by the development of distributed pair programming, this is not IDE plug-in shape of text, simple screen sharing or chatting function based.

In recent, the maritime traffic has increased with an increase in international trading volumes and the growing popularity of marine leisure activities. As increasing of maritime traffic, marine accidents happened continually and there are possibilities of accidents at sea. According to the analysis of marine accidents, most accidents occurred by human error of seafarers. To reduce the accidents by human error, the various assistance system for assist seafarers have been proposed. It is required to real-time data management method for applying to real-time system, but most proposed assistance system used off-line data for analysis. In this paper, we aim to build a navigation supporting system for providing safety information to deck officer with data of AIS(Automatic Identification System) and ARPA Radar(Automatic Radar Plotting Aids Radar), and proposed a management algorithm for real-time ship information with blackboard system and verified the validity.

The domestic maritime environment shows higher frequency of maritime accidents amidst greater traffic volume arising from increasing international seaborne trade and maritime leisure activities. To reduce such maritime accidents, there exist various kinds of safety navigation devices in the ship bridge aimed to mitigate burdens of navigators and support their accurate decision making. Amongst is the AIS considered very important, which is an automatic tracking system to assist understanding of the circumstances in the vicinity by receiving information of other ships and also sending its own; where the information contains errors initially, however, such wrong information is periodically transmitted, accordingly giving rise to hindrance sometimes in decision making by shore operators or ship navigators at sea. This study is to propose the error data and field management algorithm using fuzzy theory toward improving reliability and accuracy in ship related information received from AIS.

Recently, with the growth of various sensor applications, the need of wireless communication systems which can support variable data rate is increasing. IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN system using 2.45 GHz frequency band is very popular for the sensor applications. However, since LR-WPAN only supports the data rate of 250 kbps, it has a limit to be applied to various sensor networks. Therefore, we define the preamble structure which can support the data rates of 31.25 kbps, 62.5 kbps, 125 kbps, and present the low-complexity hardware architecture for time synchronizer based on double-correlation algorithm which can resist the CFO (carrier frequency offset). Implementation results show that the proposed time synchronizer include the logic slice of 18.36 K and four DSP48s, which are reduced at the rate of 79.1% and 99.4%, respectively, compared with existing architecture.

In this paper, we present a low-complexity non-coherent demodulation algorithm and hardware architecture for LR-WPAN systems which can support the variable data rate for various applications. The need for LR-WPAN systems that can support the variable data rate is increasing due to the emergence of various sensor applications. Since the existing symbol based double correlation (SBDC) algorithm requires the increase of complexity to support the variable data rate, we propose the sample based double correlation (SPDC) algorithm which can be implemented without the increase of complexity. The proposed non-coherent demodulator was designed by verilog HDL and implemented with FPGA prototype board.

International attention on the Northern Sea Route has been increased as the decreased sea-ice extents in Northern Sea raise the possibility to develop new sea routes and natural resources. However, to protect ships' safety and pristine environments in polar waters, International Maritime Organization(IMO) has been developing the Polar Code to regulate polar shipping. The marine navigation supporting system is essential for ships traveling long distance in the Northern Sea as they are affected by ocean weather and sea-ice. Therefore, to cope with the IMO Polar Code, this research proposes the functional requirements to develop the marine navigation supporting system for the Northern Sea Route. The functional requirements derived from the IMO Polar code consist of arctic voyage risk map, arctic voyage planning and MSI(Marine Safety Information) methods, based on which the navigation supporting system is able to provide dynamic and safe-economical sea route service using the sea-ice observation and prediction technologies. Also, a requirement of the system application is derived to apply the marine navigation supporting system for authorizing ships operating in the Northern Sea. To reflect the proposed system in the Polar Code, continual international exchange and policy proposals are necessary along with the development of sea-ice observation and prediction technologies.
