  • A new approach using a Hopfield type neural network to solve line balancing problems for manufacturing planning is proposed. The energy function of the network to evaluate solutions is composed of three terms;(a) an operation should be processed at one and only one workstation, (b) the precedence-relationship between two operations shoud be satisfied, and (c) the cycle-time of operations should be minimized. It is shown that the network can solve the line balancing problems but not always because of the difficulty to keep the precedence-relationship. Therefore, a method to keep the precedence-relationship by software logic is proposed and it is verified that the line-balancing prblems can be solved with high probability.

  • 은행이나 증권시장 혹은 통신 분야와 같은 온라인 트랜잭션처리 (OLTP) 응용 분야들이 계속 증가하고 있으며 그 규모와 복잡성은 매년 405에서 50% 이상 증가하고 있는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 이러한 복잡한 OLTP 응용분야들은 한 대의 개인용 컴퓨터나 워크스테이션으로는 처리가 불가능하며, 슈퍼 컴퓨터나 MPP와 같은 고성능의 컴퓨터를 이용하는 경우에는 방대한 예산이 소요될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 데이터를 공유하는 워크스테이션 클러스터에서 트랜잭션을 병렬로 처리할 수 있는 고성능 트랜잭션처리 시스템인 PHLOX를개발한다. PHLOX는 네트워크 파일 시스템을 이용하여 데이터를 공유함으로써 확장성이 뛰어나며 각 워크스테이션의 메모리 버퍼간에 직접 데이터 전송을 지원함으로써 디스크 액세스빈도수를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다.

  • Modern production systems are very complex by request of automation, and failure modes that occur in thisautomatic system are very various and complex. The efficient fault diagnosis for these complex systems is essential for productivity loss prevention and cost saving. Traditional fault diagnostic system which perforns sequential fault diagnosis can cause catastrophic failure during diagnosis when fault propagation is very fast. This paper describes the Real-time Intelligent Multiple Fault Diagnosis System (RIMFDS). RIMFDS assesses current machine condition by using sensor signals. This system deals with multiple fault diagnosis, comprising of two main parts. One is a personal computer for remote signal generation and transmission and the other is a host system for multiple fault diagnosis. The signal generator generates various faulty signals and image information and sends them to the host. The host has various modules and agents for efficient multiple fault diagnosis. A SUN workstation is used as a host for multiple fault modules and agents for efficient multiple fault diagnosis. A SUN workstation is used as a host for multiple fault diagnosis and graphic representation of the results. RIMFDS diagnoses multiple faults with fast fault propagation and complex physical phenomenon. The new system based on multiprocessing diagnoses by using Hierarchical Artificial Neural Network (HANN).

  • Through the last 20 years' study, it is a well-known fact that symbolic approach has limitations in generating a new concept from given concepts. Hence, neural networks having a role of associative memory based on dynamical activation of neurons attract AI scientists' attention. In this paper, recent trials for combining neural networks and Artificial Intelligent systems are systematically reviewed and a prototype ENEDB(Experimental Neuro Expert DataBase) system built on HP9000/300 workstation is introduced to show the possibility of using the trials for real applications.

  • In usual synchronous parallel computing, workload balance is a crucial factor to reduce idle times of some processors that have finished their jobs earlier than others. However, it is difficult to achieve on a heterogeneous workstation clusters where the available computing power of each processor is unpredictable. As a way to overcome such a problem, the idea of asynchronous methods has grown out and is being increasingly used and studied, but there is none for eigenvalue problems yet. In this paper, we suggest a new asynchronous method to solve some singular matrix problems, that can also be used for finding a certain eigenvector of some matrices.

  • All of the nuclear power plants in Korea we operating with analog instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment which are increasingly faced with frequent troubles, obsolescence and high maintenance expenses. Electrical and computer technology has improved rapidly in recent years and has been applied to other industries. So it is strongly recommended we adopt modern digital and computer technology to improve plant safety and availability. The advanced I&C system, namely, Integrated Intelligent Instrumentation and Control System (I$^3$CS) will be developed for beyond the next generation nuclear power plant. I$^3$CS consists of three major parts, the advanced compact workstation, distributed digital control and protection system including Automatic Start-up/shutdown Intelligent Control System (ASICS) and the computer-based alarm processing and operator support system, namely, Diagnosis, Response, and operator Aid Management System (DREAMS).

  • Generally, multidimensional data such as image and spatial data require large amount of storage space. There is a limit to store and manage those large amounts of data in single workstation. If we manage the data on parallel computing environment which is being actively researched these days, we can get highly improved performance. In this paper, we propose a parallel multidimensional index structure that exploits the parallelism of the parallel computing environment. The proposed index structure is nP(processor)-nxmD(disk) architecture which is the hybrid type of nP-nD and 1P-nD. Its node structure in-creases fan-out and reduces the height of an index. Also, a range search algorithm that maximizes I/O parallelism is devised, and it is applied to k-nearest neighbor queries. Through various experiments, it is shown that the proposed method outperforms other parallel index structures.

  • There is an increasing need to apply artificial intelligence to the real application fields of industry. These include an intelligent process control, an expert machine and a diagnostic and/or maintenance machine. These applications are implemented in AI Languages. It is commonly recognized that AI Languages, such as Common Lisp or Prolog, require a workstation. This is mainly due to the fact that both languages need a large amount of memory space and disk storage space. Workstations are appropriate for a laboratory or office environment. However, they are too bulky to use in the real application fields of industry or business. Also users who apply artificial intelligence to these fields wish to have their own operating systems. We propose a new design method of an intelligent controller which is embedded within equipment and provides easy-to-use tools for artificial intelligence applications. In this paper we describe the new design method of a VMEbus based intelligent controller for artificial intelligence applications and a small operating system which supports Common Lisp and Prolog.

  • The idea of digital photogrammetry was first introduced into the photogrammetric community in early 1960s'. At that time, it was impossible to implement the idea due to inferior computer and digital image processing technology With the recent advancements in computer hardware/software and image processing techniques, digital photogrammetry has made its entry into the field of photogrammetry. The advent of digital photogrammetry also resulted from the increasing amount of digital data acquired through satellites, CCD cameras and digital scanning of photographs. Obviously, the major distinction between conventional photogrammetry and digital photogrammetry lies in the nature of primary input data (analogue versus digital), which could lead to a fully automated digital photogrammetric workstation. However, since digital photogrammetry is in its infant stage, virtually every task is an unsolved problem due to lack of understanding of theories and techniques. Upon considering the increasing demand of efficient digital mapping method and economical GIS database generation, the union of GIS and digital photogrammetry becomes ever clear. In this paper, the author addresses the current status of digital photogrammetry such as digital imagery and digital photogrammetric workstation as well as the role of digital photogrammetry in GIS.
