Since most CAD tool companies are carrying out very expensive license policies, designers are sharing CAD tools with a limited number of licenses within a design working or research group. It is important to share and use them efficiently, because CAD tool licenses are very valuable resources. Designers should know CAD tool license information such as available number of licenses, types, and configuration methods to use CAD tools properly in their group. Usually, this information is provided by managers who administrate CAD tool license servers in the specific design group. In the previous CAD tool licenses sharing methods, designers have to get CAD tool license information manually and setup the environments with their own hands, If a new designer comes into the design working group, the designer wastes unnecessary time and effort due to these manual processes. As a result, designer's productivity and utilization of CAD tools will decrease. Besides, managers also waste their time and effort, since they should provide CAD tool license information manually to each desiEner. In this paper, we present a more efficient scheme to share CAD tool licenses based on directory service. The proposed method automates not only the communication processes between managers and designers, but also the license configuration steps. We expect this scheme will reduce time and effort of designers and managers as well as enhance the utilization of CAD tools.

In the previous CAD tool/licenses sharing methods, designers have to get CAD tool/license information manually and setup the environments with their own hands. n a new designer comes into the design working group, the designer wastes unnecessary design time, because of these processes. As a result, designer's poductivity and utilization of CAD tools will decrease Besides, managers also waste their time and effort, since they should provide CAD tool/license information manually to each designer. In this paper, we present an automated scheme to share CAD tool/license information based on directory service. The proposed methods automate the communication processes between managers and designers that minimze unnecessary time to share CAD information. In addition, as this system maintains the consistency of CAD information automatically that remove the repeated work of managers and designers, it improves the enciency of sharing. Besides, it automates the license configuration steps using prof(y Last, we offer Executable Proxy which is proper for thin CAD application. We believe this scheme will reduce designers and managers' time and effort as well as maximize the utilization of CAD tools.

하천법에 의거하여 국내 하천들에는 상당한 국가예산으로 하천정비기본계획이 5-10년 주기로 수립되고 있으며, 홍수위 계산을 위한 HEC-RAS 모의에 필요한 하천단면 등 다양한 하천측량이 실시되고 있다. 그러나, 하천측량자료들은 하천관리지리정보시스템(RIMGIS)에 pdf 보고서 형태로만 제공되고, 원자료는 CAD 형식으로 하천정비계획을 수행한 설계사 등이 분산 소유하고 있어 관리부재로 망실의 우려도 있어, 다른 용도로의 활용성이 상당히 저하되어 있는 실정이다. 그리고, 측량된 CAD 형식의 단면자료 등을 HEC-RAS에 활용할 때, 'Dream'과 같은 툴을 활용하나 거의 수작업에 가까운 시간과 비용이 소요되는 현실에 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결할 수 있는 툴인 RAUT(River information Auto Upload Tool)를 개발하였다., RAUT 툴은 첫째, 실무에서 하천기본계획 수립 시 활용되는 HEC-RAS 1차원 모형의 입력자료를 CAD 측량자료를 직접수기로 입력 및 모의를 실시하는 복잡한 단계를 자동화시키고자 하였다. 둘째, 하천공간정보인 CAD측량 자료를 직접 읽어 표준 데이터 모델 (Arc River)기반 하천공간정보 DB에 자동 업도드하여 전국단위의 하천정비계획의 하천측량자료 관리가 가능하게 할 수 있다. 즉, 만약 RIMGIS가 RAUT와 같은 툴을 사용하면 하천단면과 같은 전국단위 하천측량 자료를 체계적으로 관리할 수 있게 된다는 의미이다. 개발한 RAUT는 제주도 한천유역을 대상으로 하천정비기본계획의 하천공간정보 CAD자료를 읽어들여 mySQL기반 공간 DB로 구축하고, 구축된 DB로부터 HEC-RAS 1차원 모의 실시하기 위한 지형자료를 자동으로 생성시키는 과정을 시범적으로 구현하였다.

In this work, two-dimensional FIR digital filter is designed and simulated using research and educational CAD tools. The two-dimensional digital filter consists mainly of one-dimensional digital filter and line memory. To speed up one-dimensional digital filter, multiplications are carried out on the basis of hardwired-shifting methods by the digital filter coefficients represented in CSD formats, while carry-save adder and Manchester adder are used in addition. It is found that the designed digital filter operates up to 30 Mhz in VHDL simulation and operates normally in IRSIM simulation for the layout made by Berkeley CAD tools.

The research on the FPGA CAD tools in academia has been lacking practicality due to the underlying FPGA fabric architecture which is too simple and inefficient to be applied for commercial FPGAs. Recently, the database of placement positions and routing graphs on commercial FPGA architectures has been built, and provided for enabling the academic development of placement and routing tools. To extend the limit of academic CAD tools even further, we have developed the evaluation toolkit for the K-FPGA architecture which is under development. By providing interface for exchanging data with a commercial FPGA toolkit at every step of mapping, packing, placement and routing in the tool chain, the toolkit enables individual tools to be developed without waiting for the results of the preceding step, and with no dependency on the quality of the results, and compared in detail with commercial tools at any step. Also, the fabric primitive library is developed by extracting the prototype from a reporting file of a commercial FPGA, restructuring it, and modeling the behavior of basic gates. This library can be used as the benchmarking target, and a reference design for new FPGA architectures. Since the architecture is described in a standard HDL which is familiar with hardware designers, and read in the tools rather than hard coded, the tools are "data-driven", and tolerable with the architectural changes due to the design space exploration. The experiments confirm that the developed library is correct, and the functional correctness of applications implemented on the FPGA fabric can be validated by simulation. The placement and routing tools are under development. The completion of the toolkit will enable the development of practical FPGA architectures which, in return, will synergically animate the research on optimization CAD tools.

The application of Computer Aided Design (CAD) tool to rehabilitative surgery of the hand is a new field of endeavor. It is considered that there are currently no existing systems designed to assist the orthopedic surgeon in planning complex procedures such as tendon transfer operations. Most tendon transfer operations are performed by surgeons on the basis of knowledge and experience gained through years of practice. However, with the help of this computer graphics-based CAD tool for planning tendon paths, the planning and the evaluation for the best operation on patients' hands also may be possible. The purpose of this study was to model kinematically the structure of the hand and design a prototype tendon path planning tool with a standard computer graphics library, in order for surgeons to perform tendon transfer surgery more objectively and quantitatively.

In accordance with the River Law, the basic river maintenance plan is established every 5-10 years with a considerable national budget for domestic rivers, and various river surveys such as the river section required for HEC-RAS simulation for flood level calculation are being conducted. However, river survey data are provided only in the form of a pdf report to the River Management Geographic Information System (RIMGIS), and the original data are distributedly owned by designers who performed the river maintenance plan in CAD format. It is a situation that the usability for other purposes is considerably lowered. In addition, when using surveyed CAD-type cross-sectional data for HEC-RAS, tools such as 'Dream' are used, but the reality is that time and cost are almost as close as manual work. In this study, RAUT (River Information Auto Upload Tool), a tool that can solve these problems, was developed. First, the RAUT tool attempted to automate the complicated steps of manually inputting CAD survey data and simulating the input data of the HEC-RAS one-dimensional model used in establishing the basic river plan in practice. Second, it is possible to directly read CAD survey data, which is river spatial information, and automatically upload it to the river spatial information DB based on the standard data model (ArcRiver), enabling the management of river survey data in the river maintenance plan at the national level. In other words, if RIMGIS uses a tool such as RAUT, it will be able to systematically manage national river survey data such as river section. The developed RAUT reads the river spatial information CAD data of the river maintenance master plan targeting the Jeju-do agar basin, builds it into a mySQL-based spatial DB, and automatically generates topographic data for HEC-RAS one-dimensional simulation from the built DB. A pilot process was implemented.
