3D human pose estimation is widely applied in various fields, including action recognition, sports analysis, and human-computer interaction. 3D human pose estimation has achieved significant progress with the introduction of convolutional neural network (CNN). Recently, several researches have proposed the use of multiview approaches to avoid occlusions in single-view approaches. However, as the number of cameras increases, a 3D pose estimation system relying on a CNN may lack in computational resources. In addition, when a single host system uses multiple cameras, the data transition speed becomes inadequate owing to bandwidth limitations. To address this problem, we propose a distributed real-time 3D pose estimation framework based on asynchronous multiple cameras. The proposed framework comprises a central server and multiple edge devices. Each multiple-edge device estimates a 2D human pose from its view and sendsit to the central server. Subsequently, the central server synchronizes the received 2D human pose data based on the timestamps. Finally, the central server reconstructs a 3D human pose using geometrical triangulation. We demonstrate that the proposed framework increases the percentage of detected joints and successfully estimates 3D human poses in real-time.

A real-time network in a distributed control system plays an important role for the reliable data transmission. Compared to the field-buses used in the past, TCP/IP protocol on the top of Ethered provides a compatibility between applications as well as an economical method to develop softwares. This paper proposes a modified TCP/IP structure for IEEE-1394 network, with which asynchronous and isochronous data transmission is selectively used for the real-time data transmission in a distributed control system. This paper also shows the performance of the proposed protocol by experiments.

Synchronous computing models provided by real-time synchrony protocols, such as TTA [1] and PALS [2], greatly simplify the design, implementation, and verification of real-time distributed systems. However, their application to real systems has been limited since their assumptions on underlying systems are hard to satisfy. In particular, most previous real-time synchrony protocols hypothesize the existence of underlying fault tolerant real-time networks. This, however, might not be true in most soft real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a practical approach to a synchrony protocol, called Quality-Aware PALS (qPALS), which provides the benefits of a synchronous computing model in environments where no fault-tolerant real-time network is available. qPALS supports two flexible global synchronization protocols: one tailored for the performance and the other for the correctness of synchronization. Hence, applications can make a negotiation flexibly between performance and correctness. In qPALS, the Quality-of-Service (QoS) on synchronization and consistency is specified in a probabilistic manner, and the specified QoS is supported under dynamic and unpredictable network environments via a control-theoretic approach. Our simulation results show that qPALS supports highly reliable synchronization for critical events while still supporting the efficiency and performance even when the underlying network is not stable.

In this paper, a new architecture of operating software associated with the component-based method is proposed. The proposed architecture comprises 문 execution module and a decision-making module. In order to make effective development and maintenance, the execution module is divided into three components. The components are referred to as Symbol, Gateway, and Control, respectively: The symbol component is for the GUI environments and the standard interfaces; the gateway component is for the network communication and the structure of asynchronous processes; the control component is for the asynchronous processing and machine setting or operations. In order to verify the proposed architecture, and off-line version of operating software is made, and its steps are as follows; I) Make virtual execution modules for the manufacturing devices such as dual-arm robot, handling robot, CNC, and sensor; ii) Make decision-making module; iii) Integrate the modules and GUI using a well-known development tools such as Microsofts Visual Basic; iv) Execute the overall operating software to validate the proposed architecture. The proposed software architecture in this paper has the advantages such as independent development of each module, easy development of network communication, and distributed processing of resources, and so on.

이론적으로 분산 비동기 통신 환경에서 공통믿음 또는 공통지식의 형성은 불가능하다고 받아들여져 왔으나, 서로 신뢰하는 에이전트 그룹에서는 비동기 통신을 사용하더라도 데드라인이 있는 명제들은 공통믿음이 될 수 있고 이를 바탕으로 한 추론이 가능함을 보여준다. 일반적으로 멀티에이전트 환경에서 공통믿음의 형성은 통신의 문제로 접근하며 통신 시간의 제약이 없는 시스템 상에서는 공통믿음이 형성되지 않는다는 공통믿음 역설 문제를 느슨한 정밀도를 적용하고 필요한 요구조건을 완화시켜 공통믿음을 형성 할 수 있음을 카카오톡 채팅방 모델을 통해 확인한다. 또한 카카오톡 채팅방 모델의 각 에이전트에 추론 기능을 구현하여 생성된 공통믿음을 알고 있는지에 관한 질의를 통해 공통믿음임을 확인하는 추론 기능을 실험하였다. 분산 멀티에이전트 환경에서 공통믿음의 표현과 추론을 메타논리 프로그래밍으로 형식화하였으며, 카카오톡 채팅방 모델을 통해 비동기 통신을 사용하는 분산 에이전트 그룹이 공통믿음을 형성할 수 있음을 실험적으로 보였다.

In this paper, the analysis of practical end-to-end delay in worst case is performed for distributed control system considering the implementation of the system. The control system delay is composed of the delay caused by multi-task scheduling of operating system, the delay caused by network communication, and the delay caused by the asynchronous between them. Through simulation tests based on CAN(Controller Area Network), the proposed end-to-end delay in worst case is validated. Additionally, online clock synchronization algorithm is proposed here for the control system. Through another simulation test, the online algorithm is proved to have better performance than offline one in the view of network bandwidth utilization.

본 논문에서는 비동기식 상위수준합성기 제작의 일환으로 효율적인 비동기식 제어부의 자동생성에 관한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 목적시스템의 사양으로써 주어진 제어데이터흐름그래프로부터 일련의 체계적인 변환과정을 통하여, 제어부를 구성할 제어회로들에 대응하는 계층적으로 분할된 비동기식 유한상태기들의 집합을 유도한다. 유도된 비동기식 유한상태기들은 현존하는 비동기식 제어회로 합성기를 통하여 해저드 없는 비동기식 제어회로들로 합성되며, 이들은 상호간에 4단계 핸드셰이킹에 기반한 신호교환을 통하여 동작하면서 전체 시스템을 제어하는 계층적으로 분할된 비동기식 제어부를 구성한다. 획득한 제어부는 계층.분산적이며, 면적, 성능 및 합성시간의 측면에서 기존방식을 통하여 생성한 제어부에 비해 우월하다.

In communication networks used in safety-critical systems such as control systems in nuclear power plants there exist three types of data traffic : urgent or asynchronous hard real-time data hard real-time periodic data and soft real-time periodic data. it is necessary to allocate a suitable bandwidth to each data traffic in order to meet their real-time constraints. This paper proposes a method to meet the real-time constraints for the three types of data traffic simultaneously under a timer-controlled token bus protocol or the IEEE 802.4 token bus protocol and verifies the validity of the presented method by an example. This paper derives the proper region of the high priority token hold time and the target token rotation time for each station within which the real-time constraints for the three types of data traffic are met, Since the scheduling of the data traffic may reduce the possibility of the abrupt increase of the network load this paper proposes a brief heuristic method to make a scheduling table to satisfy their real-time constraints.
