HAO is a ORB engine to support the logic-based CORBA component developments in FPGA. In this papers, in order to give the interoperability between general CORBA and HAO, we propose newly the specialization of GIOP(General Inter-ORB Protocol) from consideration of FPGA. It compose of the two major capability. First, it can abstract the hardware structure from the various system board environments. Secondly, also it is possible to minimize the monopoly occupation for shared resource such as system bus, external memory.

많은 내장형 시스템이 분산 제어 방식을 채용하고 있는 현재, 소프트웨어 개발자들은 이기종으로 구성된 시스템의 설계 및 관리에 많은 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이에 따라 범용 통신 미들웨어인 CORBA, DCOM 등을 내장형 시스템에 사용하고자 하는 요구가 높아지고 있으나 이들은 분산 내장형 시스템의 고유한 제약 조건을 만족하지 못해 내장형 시스템에 사용된 전례가 드물다. 본 논문은 표준 CORBA의 ORB 프로토콜인 GIOP가 CAN 네트워크와 같은 내장형 시스템에 사용된 전례가 드물다. 본 논문은 표준 CORBA의 ORB 프로토콜인 GIOP가 CAN 네트워크와 같은 내장형 콘트롤러 네크워크에 적용되었을 때 드러나는 문제점을 살펴보고, 이러한 고찰의 결과에 근거해 내장형 시스템 환경에 최적화된 새로운 ORB 프로토콜, EIOP (Embedded Inter-ORB Protocol)을 제안한다.

We present CReMeS a CORBA-compliant design and implementation of a new real-time communication service. It provides for efficient predictable and scalable communication between information producers and consumers. The CReMeS architecture is based on MidART's Real-Time Channel-based Reflective Memory (RT-CRM) abstraction. This architecture supports the separation of QoS specification between producer and consumer of data and employs a user-level scheduling scheme for communicating real-time tasks. These help us achieve end-to-end predictability and allows our service to scale. The CReMeS architecture provides a CORBA interface to applications and demands no changes to the ORB layer and the language mapping layer. Thus it can run on non real-time Off-The-Shelf ORBs enables applications on these ORBs to have scalable and end-to-end predictable asynchronous communication facility. In addition an application designer can select whether to use an out-of-band channel or the ORB GIOP/IIOP for data communication. This permits a trade-off between performance predictability and reliability. Experimental results demonstrate that our architecture can achieve better performance and predictability than a real-time implementation of the CORBA Even Service when the out-of-band channel is employed for data communication it delivers better predictability with comparable performance when the ORB GIOP/IIOP is used.

본 논문에서는 CORBA 분산처리 환경을 갖추기 않은 운영체제 사에서 동작하는 응용들이 CORBA분산환경의 객체 서비스를 이용 가능하도록 하는 통신 플랫폼을 설계하고 구현하였다. CORBA 표준에서는 서로 다른 ORB(Object Request Broker)들간의 상호운용(interoperability)을 위하여GIOP/IIOP(General/Internet Inter-ORB Protocol)프로토콜을 정의하고 있다. 구현된 부산 멀티미디어 플랫폼은 IIOP Engine API를 제공함으로써 Non-CORBA 응용들을 통합하였으며, 디렉토리, 스트림, 파일 서비스 인터페이스를 제공함으로써 분산환경에서 멀티미디어 정보 서비스를 이용할 수 있는 환경을 제공한다.

The software components of embedded control systems get extremely complex as they are designed into distributed systems get extremely complex as they are designed into distributed systems consisting of a large number of inexpensive microcontrollers interconnected by low-bandwidth real-time networks such as the controller area network (CAN). While recently emerging middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM address the complexity of distributed programming, they cannot be directly applied to distributed control system design due to their excessive resource demand and inadequate communication models. In this paper, we propose a CORBA-based middleware design for CAN-based distributed embedded control systems. Our design goal is to minimize its resource need and make it support group communication without losing the IDL (interface definition language) level compliance to the OMG standards. To achieve this, we develop a transport protocol on the CAN and a group communication scheme based on the well-known publisher/subscriber model. The protocol effectively realizes subject-based addressing and supports anonymous publisher/subscriber communication. We also customize the method invocation and message passing protocol, referred to as the general inter-ORB protocol (GIOP), of CORBA so that CORBA method invocations are efficiently serviced on a low-bandwidth network such as the CAN. This customization includes packed data encoding and variable-length integer encoding for compact representation of IDL data types. We have implemented our CORBA-based middleware on the mArx real-time operating system we have developed at Seoul National University. Our experiments clearly demonstrate that it is feasible to use CORBA in developing distributed embedded control systems possessing severe resource limitations. Our design clearly demonstrates that it is feasible to use a CORBA-based middleware in developing distributed embedded systems on real-time networks possessing severe resource limitations.

Background: To develop guidelines and recommendations to prevent and treat glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in Korea. Methods: The Korean Society for Bone and Mineral Research and the Korean College of Rheumatology have developed this guideline based on Guidance for the Development of Clinical Practice Guidelines ver. 1.0 established by the National Evidence-Based Healthcare Collaborating Agency. This guideline was developed by adapting previously published guidelines, and a systematic review and quality assessment were performed. Results: This guideline applies to adults aged ${\geq}19years$ who are using or plan to use GCs. It does not include children and adolescents. An initial assessment of fracture risk should be performed within 6 months of initial GC use. Fracture risk should be estimated using the fracture-risk assessment tool (FRAX) after adjustments for GC dose, history of osteoporotic fractures, and bone mineral density (BMD) results. All patients administered with prednisolone or an equivalent medication at a dose ${\geq}2.5mg/day$ for ${\geq}3months$ are recommended to use adequate calcium and vitamin D during treatment. Patients showing a moderate-to-high fracture risk should be treated with additional medication for osteoporosis. All patients continuing GC therapy should undergo annual BMD testing, vertebral X-ray, and fracture risk assessment using FRAX. When treatment failure is suspected, switching to another drug should be considered. Conclusions: This guideline is intended to guide clinicians in the prevention and treatment of GIOP.
