A process control language is developed using function block configuration, to simplify software development for large scale process control systems, and to implement advanced control algorithms with ease. A function block parser and controller is implemented to be suitable for multi-loop control systems having hierachical structure. On-line change of controller parameter is possible, and inclusion of user defined function block is also possible. By adding plant model block, control performance can be checked in advance. Function blocks of the Smith Predicotor, auto-tuners are implemented to demonstrate usefulness of function block configuration.

This paper presents a process control language for constructing multiloop control system. which include advanced control algorithms. In order to make controller, this language uses function blocks that do specific operations. Then, the total control algorithm is a set of function blocks, of which each block is represented as a function code. The function code is a line of simple ASCII codes denoting function, input, output, parameters. It is possible to use variables as input/output port of any block. Compared with other language using function block concept, the proposed one enables to use advanced control algorithms undefinitely, such as fuzzy, neural network, predictive controller, etc., because vector and matrix variables as input/output can be used freely in this language. To raise flexibility, we put an intermediate level, which is C-language code, between function code and target-dependent operation code.

Online judge provides compilation, execution, and immediate feedback on the source submitted by the learner, and ensures the accuracy and reliability of the evaluation, but it's difficult to select the language according to the level of the learner because most of them provide only textual language. In this study, a block language for online judge was developed and applied to high school classes, and the difference in self-efficacy between the block language and the textual language group was confirmed. It was found that Block language group have more ability expectation to overcome disgust experience than textual language group and Textual language group have significant decrease in ability expectation to start activity and to continue activity. It implies that Block language has an effect on self-efficacy for afterward programming activities, and methods of teaching, learning and evaluation should be devised in the case of textual language so that student's self-efficacy does not deteriorate at the initial and ongoing stage of activity. The results of this study are meaningful in that it provide various implications of methods for enhancing self-efficacy in high school class of programming.

문서 검색 시스템의 도치 색인 파일은 저장 공간과 검색 시간을 줄이기 위해 색인어 사전과 문서번호를 위한 이진 도치 파일 또는 비트벡터로 구성할 수 있다. 비트벡터는 1의 값을 가지는 비트만 저장함으로써 압축이 가능하나, Bit tree 압축 방법은 block의 크기가 어떻게 결정되느냐에 따라 압축률이 달라진다. 본 논문에서는 비트벡터에 나타나는 1의 값을 가지는 비트의 개수에 의해 bit tree 압축에 대한 최적의 block 크기를 결정하는 방법을 했다. 최적의 block의 크기는 (전체 비트벡터의 크기 / 1의 개수)보다 작거나 같은 최대의 2의 승수이다. 또한 block내의 1의 값을 가지는 비트의 위치에 의해 상대 위치값을 계산해서 block의 오른쪽 반에 나타나는 비트를 더 압축할 수 있는 기법을 구현한다. 본 논문에서 구현한 압축 기법은 Run Length를 이용한 방법에 비해서 13.65%, 기존의 Bit Tree 방법에 비해서 1.88%의 압축률을 개선했다.

A graphic control language using function block diagram approach is designed and implemented, applicable to real-time control for continuous process automation system. The procedure implementing the control language is composed of three parts, editor, compiler, and executer. The editor generates the control algorithm file, which contains function block information in the text form, by menu-driven method on the color graphic screen. The compiler translates the contents of the control algorithm file to machine codes and their related data. Then, the executer generates a task that makes the machine codes executed at every sampling period in the target processor. The validity of the concept in its design and implementaion is assured by on-line simulation in the multi-function controller designed for continuous process automation.

본 논문에서는 블록 프로그래밍 언어를 선행조직자로 하여 텍스트 프로그래밍 언어를 학습하는 도구 활용 전략을 연구하였다. 텍스트 프로그래밍 언어는 파이썬이며, 블록 프로그래밍 언어는 엔트리, 활용하는 도구는 주피터 노트북으로 선정하였다. 주피터 노트북을 활용한 블록 프로그래밍 언어 선행조직자 학습 전략은 code cell에 IPython.display.IFrame 클래스를 활용하여 결과 창에 엔트리 작업환경을 불러와 선행조직자로 제시하여 엔트리를 학습 후 code cell에서 파이썬으로 학습한다. 주피터 노트북을 통해 블록 프로그래밍 언어를 선행조직자로 제시 후 텍스트 프로그래밍 언어를 제시함으로써 텍스트 프로그래밍 언어를 학습할 때 인지적 부담을 줄어들고 긍정적 전이가 일어나 효과적인 학습이 될 것으로 기대된다.

Lego company created a set called Robotic Invention System as a kind of Mindstorm set. This system helps to understand the technology of both robot and programming language. It also improves creativeness by building and controlling the robot we make. This paper will introduce basic idea of controlling the RCX(Programmable Lego Block) in C language. Also, this paper will show different idea of teaching C language by using other types of robots.

In this paper, we develop a machine learning based block code generation and recommendation model for the purpose of reducing cognitive load of learners during coding education that learns the learner's block that has been made in the block programming environment using natural processing model and fine-tuning and then generates and recommends the selectable blocks for the next step. To develop the model, the training dataset was produced by pre-processing 50 block codes that were on the popular block programming language web site 'Entry'. Also, after dividing the pre-processed blocks into training dataset, verification dataset and test dataset, we developed a model that generates block codes based on LSTM, Seq2Seq, and GPT-2 model. In the results of the performance evaluation of the developed model, GPT-2 showed a higher performance than the LSTM and Seq2Seq model in the BLEU and ROUGE scores which measure sentence similarity. The data results generated through the GPT-2 model, show that the performance was relatively similar in the BLEU and ROUGE scores except for the case where the number of blocks was 1 or 17.

Computational Thinking is an analytical thinking ability that is necessary for everyone and everywhere. The existing Computational Thinking development education provided in Practical textbooks leads to block-based programming languages from unplugged activities. Many unplugged activities focus on practicing sequential order, which may lack the learning of abstractions or automation concepts. In block-based programming languages, concepts such as coordinate planes, which are not introduced in elementary school curriculum, appear, making students feel burdened by the block-based programming language itself. In this study, a curriculum was designed for elementary student's computational thinking through game-based programming language education. The results and their effectiveness were analyzed through the beaver challenge. As a result of analyzing the pre-test and post-test scores, it was confirmed that students' computational thinking skills improved.

A hardware architecture to implement the SEED block cipher algorithm into one chip is described. Each functional unit is designed with VHDL hardware description language and synthesis tools. The designed hardware receives a 128-bit block of plain text input and a 128-bit key, and generates a 128-bit cipher block after 16-round operations after 8 clocks. The encryption time is within 20 nsec.
