The importance of Virtual Manufacturing System is increasing in the area of developing new manufacturing processes, implementing automated workcells, designing plant facility layouts and workplace ergonomics. Virtual manufacturing system is a computer system that can generate the same information about manufacturing system structure, states, and behaviors as is observed in a real manufacturing. In this research, a virtual manufacturing system for flexible manufacturing cells (VFMC), (which is a useful tool for building Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), has been developed using object-oriented paradigm, and implemented with software QUEST/IGRIP. Three object models used in the system are the product model, the facility model, and the process model. The concrete behaviors of a flexible manufacturing cell are re[presented by the task-oriented description diagram, TIC. An example simulation is executed to evaluate applicability of the developed models, and to prove the potential value of virtual manufacturing paradigm.

The importance of shape reconstruction is increasing in many areas such as RPD(Rapid Product Development) and reverse engineering. Typical data in these areas are mainly classified as the shape data measured by a laser scanner and the data extracted from the CT image. The goal of this research is to realize three-dimensional shape construction by showing a possible way to analyze input image data and reconstruct the original shape. Two main steps of the reconstructing process are obtaining cross-section data from image processing and linking loops between one slice and the next. Objects reconstructed in this way are compared with other objects using a laser scanner and modelled by commercially available software. The technique is expected to be used in reverse engineering applications and the object modeling with automated process.

With the development of a laser scanner of high precision and increased speed, reverse engineering becomes a key approach to reduce the time for the development of new products. But the modeling process is not so automated enough until now. Modeling in real workshops is usually performed by the experienced operators and it requires a skillful technique to get the resultant surface of high quality and precision. In this paper, a systematic solution is proposed to automate the free-form surface generation from the measured point data. Compatibility is imposed to the measured point data during input curve generation. And the compatibility of cross-sectional curve is also considered for the loft surface generation. The data in each step is produced in IGES file format to make an easy interface to other CAD/CAM software without any further data manipulation.

It is impossible for any human being to analyze the more than 500 million tweets that are generated per day. Lexical ambiguities on Twitter make it difficult to retrieve the desired data and relevant topics. Most of the solutions for the word sense disambiguation problem rely on knowledge base systems. Unfortunately, it is expensive and time-consuming to manually create a knowledge base system, resulting in a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. To solve the knowledge-acquisition bottleneck, a topic signature is used to disambiguate words. In this paper, we evaluate the effectiveness of various features of newspapers on the topic signature extraction for word sense discrimination in tweets. Based on our results, topic signatures obtained from a snippet feature exhibit higher accuracy in discriminating company names than those from the article body. We conclude that topic signatures extracted from news articles improve the accuracy of word sense discrimination in the automated analysis of tweets.

객체지향 분석과정중에 오류를 검출하고 일관성을 점검하여 무결성을 유지하는 것은 중요한 일이다. 그러나, 현재의 객체지향 개발 방법론은 객체지향 분석모델들에 대하여 오류 검출과 일관성 점검을 위한 정형화된 방법을 제시하지 못하고 있다. 본 논문은 지식베이스를 이용하여 , 객체지향 분석모델들에 대한 오류와 일관성 검증방법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법은 모형화 단계, 정형화 단계, 검증 단계의 세단계로 이루어져 있다. 모형화 단계에서는 시스템을 분석하여 OMT(Object Modeling Technique)방법론의 세 가지 모델인 객체모델, 동적 모델, 기능모델을 생성한다. 이 단계는 OMT의 분석단계에 해당한다. 정형화 단계에서는 이 세가지 모델들을 Atomic Formula 형태로 정형 명세하여 응용 지식베이스에 저장한다. 검증 단계에서는 오류 검출 규칙과 일관성 점검 규칙을 이용하여 오류를 점검하고 일관성을 유지한다. 그리고 본 논문에서 제안한 점검 방법을 적용하여 ATM(Automated Teller Machine)예제의 분석결과를 검증했다. 제안한 방법을 이용하면 보다 더 신뢰할 수 있는 분석모델을 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This paper describes the design of portable arrhythmia monitor and associated algorithm for automated diagnosis based-on microcomputer in the ambulatory ECG recording, analysis, and transmitting to a hospital host computer immediately through the telephone system. The device differs from Molter recorder in that it does not store normal ECG signals but captures and alarms the ECG during suspected abnormal periods and selected temporal epochs to a central hospital site. This porta file arrhythmia monitor makes use of a general purpose computer and software will be changed to meet the custom requirements of individual physicians and patients. At present it is very obvious that each cardiologist has his own method of analyzing ECG recordings and utilizes past experience more than the firm quantitative analysis of data.

In the EMG evaluation, the neuropathy may be diagnosed by a detection of denervation potentials in the group of muscles. These abnomal potentials might be confused with normal endplate spikes. In this paper we present the software algorithm in C, which automatically detects spontaneous activity such as denervation potentials and endplate potentials and distingushes between those potentials. Parameters with statistically significant differences were used for this automated algorithm. It was concluded that the algorithm established in this study will improve accuracy in EMG diagnosis.

This paper proposed the method of creating image mosaic in automated fashion. It is well known that geometric and radiometric balance in adjacent images should be maintained in mosaicking process. The seam line to minimize geometric discontinuity was extracted using Minimum Absolute­Gray-Difference Sum considering constraint condition in search width. To maintain the radiometric balance of images acquired at different time, we utilized Match Cumulative Frequency, Match Mean and Standard Deviation and Hue Adjustment algorithm. The mosaicked image prepared by the proposed method was compared with those of commercial software. Experiments show that seam lines were extracted significantly well from roads, rivers. ridgelines etc. and Match Cumulative Frequency algorithm was performed pretty good in histogram matching

FMS is two or more computer controlled units interconnected with automated workhandling equipment and supervised by an executive computer having random scheduling capabilities. The complex nature of a FMS, coupled with the need to maximize its performance, means that such a system can be effectly designed only by iterative computer simulation methods. At the operational level, simulation had a reduced role to evaluate the performance of planned FMS under a variety of operating strategies. This is probably due to the fact that few simulation models are able to access the current status data of the system. This study reviews the role of simulation for design/operation of FMS and suggests an interface scheme for incorporating a simulation package with a FMS operational database. This scheme can be used for reducing the performance gap between design and real operation of a FMS.

An integrated design system has as its aim the incoporation of all the design processes, such as, planning, preliminary design, analysis, detailed design (mamber design), evaluation, and drafting into an unified software system. Successful implementation such a system could lead to major improvements in efficiency by eliminating duplication of data and efforts. reducing errors, saving design time, providing management support, and so on. This study presents a methodology for an computer-integrated design system for building structures, synthesizing algorithmic procedures and knowledge based expert systems on the network database. Network database, which was designed to store all information systematically during the design processes, provides centeral communication area between algorithms and expert systems. The conventional procedural codes automate the routine design phases such as structural analysis, whereas knowledge-based expert systems support designer's decisions at the creative design phases such as preliminary design etc. The user interface with interactive and batch modes controls the design phases and manages design information and activates the algorithms and the expert systems. The concept presented in this paper will contribute to the formulation of automated design systems for building structures.
