Many embedded multimedia systems employ special hardware blocks to co-process with the main processor. Even though an efficient handling of such hardware blocks is critical on the overall performance of real-time multimedia systems, traditional real-time scheduling techniques cannot afford to guarantee a high quality of multimedia playbacks with neither delay nor jerking. This paper presents a hardware-aware rate monotonic scheduling (HA-RMS) algorithm to manage hardware tasks efficiently and handle special hardware blocks in the embedded multimedia system. The HA-RMS prioritizes the hardware tasks over software tasks not only to increase the hardware utilization of the system but also to reduce the output jitter of multimedia applications, which results in reducing the overall response time.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly needed as they can replace manned aircrafts in dangerous military missions. However, because of their low autonomy, current UAVs can execute missions only under continuous operator control. To overcome this limitation, higher autonomy levels of UAVs based on autonomous situational awareness is required. In this paper, we propose an autonomous situational awareness software consisting of situation awareness management, threat recognition, threat identification, and threat space analysis to detect dynamic situational change by external threats. We implemented the proposed software in real mission computer hardware and evaluated the performance of situational awareness toward dynamic radar threats in flight simulations.

본 논문에서는 오픈 소스 하드웨어를 이용한 상황인식 스마트 디지털 도어락 시스템을 제안한다. 이 시스템은 오픈 소스 하드웨어를 이용하여 효율적으로 개발기간을 단축하고, 상황인식 센서를 이용하여 사용자에게 편리성을 제공하는 것에 목적을 두고 있다. 이 시스템은 사물인터넷(IoT) 기술을 이용하여 사용자의 스마트 폰을 인식하고, 센서를 이용해 사용자가 문을 열려고 하는 행동 인식한다. 위 두 가지의 요건이 충족된다면, 사용자가 도어락에 별다른 인증 절차를 거치지 않고도 출입이 가능하며, 이러한 인증 절차의 간소화로 인해 편리성은 증대 되고, 보안성도 보다 효과적이다.

According to the defense-in-depth concept, not only a preventive strategy but also an integrated cyberattack response strategy for NPPs should be established. However, there are limitations in terms of responding to penetrations, and the existing EOPs are insufficient for responding to intentional disruptions. In this study, we focus on manipulative attacks on process data. Based on an analysis of the related attack vectors and possible attack scenarios, we adopt the Kalman filter to detect process anomalies that can be caused by manipulations of process data. To compensate for these manipulations and secure MCR operators' situational awareness, we modify the Kalman filter such that it can filter out the effects of the manipulations adaptively. A case study was conducted using a hardware-in-the-loop system. The results indicated that the developed method can be used to verify whether the displayed safety-related state data are reliable and to implement the required safety response actions.

For this study, a series of interviews with engineers in the Korean construction industry was carried out through a formal workshop format to analyze the causes of the inferior quality of builders' hardware. The authors established the causes of defects in window hardware construction in relation to the three aspects of system, design, and construction as involving the following seven factors: lack of system (including low ability to create construction specifications); low social awareness of the importance of window hardware; low technical capability to create design drawings; low design costs; small manufacturing capacity; low construction cost; and short duration of construction. Among the seven causes, the biggest cause of defects in window hardware construction is the lack of a system (low ability to create construction specifications), followed by low technical capability to create design drawings. In addition, this study carried out basic research to create measures to prevent defects in window hardware construction by analyzing how such causes of defects are distributed depending on the scale of architectural firms and construction companies during actual projects.

As the real time multimedia data service has become available due to the rapid progress of computer and Internet technology, the users can enjoy the newly developed service, which is called Video On-Dem-and(VOD). However, most of service providers have not paid their attention much on the software for various service modes on VOD, but they are only concentrating un the hardware to provide with the high resolution video display. Therefore, the service providers are recently to pay more attention on the software to cope with the various demands of users than hardware. So this paper has designed and implemented the VOD service system for those demands. Since the VOD service system suggested by this paper enable off-line search functions through E-mail, the users can possibly get the necessary information from off-line Search without connecting to the server while the current VOD service can prominently help users to save the time and effort to sea고 and select the Video contents by using periodical current awareness service supported by PUSH technology and user oriented information booking and feedback service supported by SDI service.

In this paper, we are looking for requirements of software, hardware and application for use in network-based robots and also directions in building standardization and research activities by reviewing technical status of the robot industries developing robots. The questions are including awareness of RUPI(Robot Unifies Platform Initiative) activities, target market and applications, hardware specifications, software development technologies, and HRI(Human Robot Interaction). The RUPI committee creates standard and drives implementation software for network-based robots through industrial requirements as like of the results. Many robots have been developed and launched services based on RUPI 1.0 standards. Based on this achievement we are expanding RUPI standard to include thin and thick client robots. The results also show that which one is important and urgent technology in the sense of industrial robotic business.

The problem of location awareness in wireless sensor networks where nodes use GPS (Global Positioning System), remains challenging problem, when considering the required large energy consumption during the localization phase. In this paper we designed hardware for GPS based localization and propose a framework, called ELS, to consume low cost energy. In the ELS framework, sensor nodes are equipped with GPS. Because GPS spends large energy for position awareness, conventional localization algorithms cannot use GPS-device. We try to find a solution for efficient energy expenditure of GPS. Finally, we derive optimal transmission power of GPS data and a scheme of localization through experiment and simulation.

Security awareness and training are becoming more important as cyber security incidents tend to increase in industrial control systems, including nuclear power plants. For effective cyber security awareness and training for the personnel who manage and operate the target facility, a TEST-BED is required that can analyze the impact of cyber attacks from the sensor level to the operation status of the nuclear power plant. In this paper, we have developed an HIL system for nuclear power plant cyber security training. It includes nuclear power plant status simulations and specific system status simulation together with physical devices. This research result will be used for the specialized cyber security training program for Korean nuclear facilities.

Recently, makers who do not have huge production equipments and who actually make products that they thought by utilizing digital production tools are emerging as new trends. As these makers shared how to make products, the 'maker movement', an open source manufacturing movement, spread. In the case of the domestic market, the maker movement is being activated through the government's policy support. However, compared to developed countries, there is not enough awareness and environment of maker culture, and only open platform hardware and software are used without specialized education / development equipment or kit for maker. Therefore, in this paper, we implement a MQTT protocol based Internet object maker kit for real service interworking rather than simple data connection through hardware connection.
