  • This paper presents the design technology of a Graphic Generator which drives the embedded aircraft display equipments such as HUD(Head-Up Display) and MFD (Multi-Function Display) those provide pilot with the most important mission information. The main issue of this design is how we can implement the real-time embedded graphic generator using a general purpose processor as a substitute for the obsolete the production of specific graphic processor in the military market. So we proposed two kinds of method that one is a software solution so called graphic kernel system, interpreting the display file, controlling the graphic system and pre-processing graphic primitives, the other is a hardware solution so called graphic engine, interpreting passed commands through the graphic kernel system, post-processing the looping calculation taking much of time as implemented by software. We have tested and verified the functionalities and the required performance of Graphic Generator.

  • With the various usage of civil drones, such as hobby, filmmaking and surveillance, the need for technology that safely reconstructs software for target application domains has been increasingly rising. In order to support a reliable software integration of avionic systems, the ARINC 653 standard has been proposed and adapted mainly on manned aircrafts. Therefore, applying ARINC 653 on civil drones could be desirable. Though, various researches on implementing ARINC 653 has been conducted, there are still additional requirements to apply ARINC 653 to civil drones that use various platforms and have a wide range of use. In this paper, taking account of these requirements, we implement a portable and extensible ARINC 653 and analyze its performance. We offer the portability with the OS abstraction layer that reduces dependency on a specific operating system, and provide the design that can extend internal functions, such as partition scheduler and process scheduler.

  • As the type and purpose of drones become diverse and the number of additional functions is increasing, the role of the corresponding software has increased. Through partitioning and an efficient solving of SWaP(size, weight and power) problems, ARINC 653 can provide reliable software reuse and consolidation regarding avionic systems. ARINC 653 can be more effectively applied to drones, a small unmanned aerial vehicle, in addition to its application with large-scale aircraft. In this paper, to exploit ARINC 653 for a drone flight-control program, an intra-partition communication system is implemented through an extension of the layered ARINC 653 and applied to a real drone system. The experiment results show that the overheads of the intra-partition communication are low, while the resources that are assigned to the drone flight-control program are guaranteed through the partitioning.

  • Synthesis process from the data produced by different types of sensor into a single information is being studied and used in a variety of platforms in terms of multi-sensor data fusion. Heterogeneous sensors has been integrated into various aircraft and modern avionic systems manage them. As the performance of sensors in aircraft is getting higher, the integration of sensor information is required from the viewpoint of avionics gradually. Information fusion is not studied widely in the view of software that provide a pilot with fused information from data produced by the sensor in the form of symbology on a display device. The purpose of information fusion is to assist pilots to make a decision in order to perform mission by providing the correct combat situation from avionics of the aircraft and to minimize their workload consequently. In the aircraft avionics equipped with different types of sensors, the software architecture that produce a comprehensive information using the sensor data through multi-sensor data fusion process to the user is shown in this paper.

  • 원자력 발전소 계측 제어 시스템, 의료 관련 시스템, 항공 관련 시스템 등 실생활과 밀접한 시스템에 소프트웨어의 사용이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이러한 시스템에서 소프트웨어의 오류는 예기치 않는 사고를 유발하여 인명, 재산상의 심각한 타격을 줄 수 있다. 그러므로 고신뢰도 소프트웨어의 개발 시에는 반드시 시스템의 안전성을 보장해 주어야 한다. 역방향 안전성 분석 방법은 시스템의 안전성을 분석하는 한가지 방법으로서 시스템의 위험 상태를 정의하고 그 위험의 원인들을 추적, 분석함으로써 안전성에 대한 효율적인 분석을 수행할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 이 논문에서는 소프트웨어 개발 초기 단계에서 안전성을 분석할 수 있는 방법으로 Colored Petri Nets(CPN)에 기반을 둔 역방향 안전성 분석 방법을 제시한다. 또한 CPN 역방향 안전성 분석 도구인 SAC(Safety Analyzer for CPN)의 설계 및 구현에 대해 언급한다. SAC은 기존의 상용 CPN 모델링 도구인 Design/CPN과 연계하여 사용될 수 있으므로 CPN으로 모델링된 시스템의 안전성을 분석할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이 논문에서는 예제로 자동 교통 제어 시스템의 일부를 CPN으로 모델링하고 SAC을 이용한 분석 과정을 기술한다.Abstract In safety-critical systems such as nuclear power plants, medical machines, and avionic systems which are closely related with our livings, the usage of software in the controlling part is growing rapidly. Since software errors in safety-critical systems may cause serious accidents leading to financial or human damages, system safety should be ensured during and after development of a system. A backward safety analysis technique defines system hazards and tries to trace their causes by analyzing system states backward. In this paper, we provide a backward safety analysis technique based on Colored Petri Nets(CPN), which is applicable to the early software development phase. Also Safety Analyzer for CPN(SAC), the supporting tool, is designed and implemented. Since SAC is compatible with Design/CPN, a commercial tool for supporting CPN, it can be applicable to analyze safety in practical problems. As an example, we model a part of the traffic light control system using CPN and analyze safety properties of the model using the SAC tool.

  • The pilot (human actor) involved in the control loop of the highly automated aircraft systems (machine actor) must be able to monitor these systems just as the machine actor must also be able to monitor the human actor. For its safety and better performance of the human machine system, each of the two elements must be knowledgeable about the other's intentions or goals. In fact, several recent accidents occurred due to goal conflicts between human and machines in a modern avionic system. To facilitate the coordination of these actors, a computational aid was developed. The aid, which operates in a part-task simulator environment, attempts to facilitate the management of the goals and functions being performed to accomplish them. To provide an accurate knowledge of both actors' goals and their function statuses, the aid uses agent-based objects representing the elements of the cockpit operations. This paper describes the development of the flightdeck goals and functions called Agenda Management.

  • In this paper, we propose to identify the factors and satisfaction of the selection of University and departments of One university freshmen. Research subjects were 499 freshmen in 2021 at K University located in G city. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe' test and pearson's correlation coefficient using SPSS WIN 18.0. The results of this study showed that the internet/SNS was the highest in university information media, the school teacher was the highest in information provider, and the employment rate had the most impact on university registration decision. The University satisfaction score was 3.43, and there was a significant difference in gender(t=5.527, p=.019) and admission type(F=5.527, p<.001). The department satisfaction was 3.86 and there was a significant difference in the admissions type(F=3.004, p=.018). Univdrsity satisfaction and Department satisfaction showed a significant positive correlation(r=5.527, p<.001). Universities should improve their competitiveness through systematic admission information system.
