Mobile grid is a combination of grid computing and mobile computing to build grid systems in a wireless mobile environment. The development of network technology is assisting in realizing mobile grid. Mobile grid based on established grid infrastructures needs effective resource management and reliable job scheduling because mobile grid utilizes not only static grid resources but also dynamic grid resources with mobility. However, mobile devices are considered as unavailable resources in traditional grids. Mobile resources should be integrated into existing grid sites. Therefore, this paper presents a mobile grid middleware interconnecting existing grid infrastructures with mobile resources and a mobile service agent installed on the mobile resources. This paper also proposes a mobile resource reliability-based job scheduling model in order to overcome the unreliability of wireless mobile devices and guarantee stable and reliable job processing. In the proposed job scheduling model, the mobile service agent calculates the mobile resource reliability of each resource by using diverse reliability metrics and predicts it. The mobile grid middleware allocated jobs to mobile resources by predicted mobile resource reliability. We implemented a simulation model that simplifies various functions of the proposed job scheduling model by using the DEVS (Discrete Event System Specification) which is the formalism for modeling and analyzing a general system. We also conducted diverse experiments for performance evaluation. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can assist in improving the performance of mobile grid in comparison with existing job scheduling models.

Integrated performance test of Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) was successfully performed in 1994. However, an extensive effort to correct hardware and software problems in the letdown line was required mainly due to the lack of adequate simulation code to predict the test accurately. Although the LTC computer code was used during the YGN 3'||'&'||'4 NSSS design process, the code can not satisfactorily predict the test due to its insufficient letdown line modeling. This study developed a numerical model to simulate the letdown test by modifying the current LTC code, and then verified the model by comparing with the test data. The comparison shows that the modified LTC computer code can predict the transient behavior of letdown system tests very well. Especially, the model was verified to be able to predict the "Stiction" phenomena which caused instantaneous fluctuations in the letdown backpressure and flowrate. Therefore, it is concluded that the modified LTC computer code with the ability of calculating the "Stiction" phenomena wi11 be very useful for future plant desist and test predictions.predictions.

In an effort to minimize operational expenses and supply users with more scalable services, distributed applications are actually going towards the Cloud. These applications, sent out over multiple environments and machines, are composed by inter-connecting independently developed services and components. The implementation of such programs on the Cloud is difficult and generally carried out either by hand or perhaps by composing personalized scripts. This is extremely error prone plus it has been found that misconfiguration may be the root of huge mistakes. We introduce AutoBot, a flexible platform for modeling, installing and (re)configuring complex distributed cloud-based applications which evolve dynamically in time. AutoBot includes three modules: A simple and new model describing the configuration properties and interdependencies of components; a dynamic protocol for the deployment and configuration ensuring appropriate resolution of these interdependencies; a runtime system that guarantee the proper configuration of the program on many virtual machines and, if necessary, the reconfiguration of the deployed system. This reduces the manual application deployment process that is monotonous and prone to errors. Some validation experiments were conducted on AutoBot in order to ensure that the proposed system works as expected. We also discuss the opportunity of reusing the platform in the transition of applications from Cloud to Fog computing.

원격탐사 영상과 고도자료를 사용하여 지구환경을 3차원으로 시각화할 수 있는데, 이것은 지구과학분야에서 정보를 3차원 공간에서 탐색하고 분석하는 새로운 패러다임을 제공해준다. 지구환경을 보다 현실감 있게 시각화하고 이를 통해 공간적 특징이나 객체 지형들 간의 관계를 분석할 수 있도록 하려면 3D 공간 표현의 지원이 필요하다. 이를 위해서는 다양한 2D, 3D 공간자료와 관련 벡터 자료가 통합되어야 하고, 또한 지질이나 지표 객체들 간의 상대적 위치와 위상학적 관계가 통합되어 함께 다루어져야 한다. 이러한 이유로 지구과학 및 지구환경 문제의 3차원 시각화에서는 3차원 모델링과 위상 분석, 데이터베이스가 함께 고려되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 지구과학 및 지구환경 분야에서 3차원적 특성을 포함한 동적모형 개발과 시뮬레이션 환경 기반을 제공하도록 원격탐사 자료를 이용하여 시각화하는 방법과 자료추출 및 관리, 3차원 가상공간에서 동적 모형화를 활용하는 방법론에 관하여 연구되었다.

Polymer actuators, which are also called as smart materials, change their shapes when electrical, chemical, thermal, or magnetic energy is applied to them and are useful in wide variety of applications such as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), machine components, and artificial muscles. For this study, Polyaniline/carbon-nanotube polymer actuator that is one of electroactive polymer actuators was prepared. Since the nonlinear phenomena of hysteresis and a step response are essential considerations for practical use of polymer actuators, we have investigated the movement of the Polyaniline/carbon-nanotube polymer actuator and have developed an integrated model that can be used for simulating and predicting the hysteresis and a step response during actuation. The Preisach hysteresis model, one of the most popular phenomenological models of hysteresis, were used for describing the hysteretic behavior of Polyaniline/carbon-nanotube polymer actuator while the ARX method, one of system identification techniques, were used for modeling a step response. In this paper, we first expain details in preparation of the Polyaniline/carbon-nanotube polymer then present the mathematical description of our model, the extraction of the parameters, simulation results from the model, and finally a comparison with measured data.

Call admission control (CAC) plays an important role in mobile cellular network to guarantee the quality of service (QoS). In this paper, a dynamic hybrid CAC scheme with integrated cutoff priority and handoff queue for mobile cellular network is proposed and some performance metrics are derived. The unique characteristic of the proposed CAC scheme is that it can support any number of service types and that the cutoff thresholds for handoff calls are dynamically adjusted according to the number of service types and service priority index. Moreover, timeouts of handoff calls in queues are also considered in our scheme. By modeling the proposed CAC scheme with a one-dimensional Markov chain (1DMC), some performance metrics are derived, which include new call blocking probability ($P_{nb}$), forced termination probability (PF), average queue length, average waiting time in queue, offered traffic utilization, wireless channel utilization and system performance which is defined as the ratio of channel utilization to Grade of Service (GoS) cost function. In order to validate the correctness of the derived analytical performance metrics, simulation is performed. It is shown that simulation results match closely with the derived analytic results in terms of $P_{nb}$ and PF. And then, to show the advantage of 1DMC modeling for the performance analysis of our proposed CAC scheme, the computing complexity of multi-dimensional Markov chain (MDMC) modeling in performance analysis is analyzed in detail. It is indicated that state-space cardinality, which reflects the computing complexity of MDMC, increases exponentially with the number of service types and total channels in a cell. However, the state-space cardinality of our 1DMC model for performance analysis is unrelated to the number of service types and is determined by total number of channels and queue capacity of the highest priority service in a cell. At last, the performance comparison between our CAC scheme and Mahmoud ASH's scheme is carried out. The results show that our CAC scheme performs well to some extend.

본 연구에서는 GIS(Geographic Information System) 기법을 수자원모델링 분야에 적용 시키고자 하였다. 강우에 따른 정확한 유출량의 예측은 수자원의 개발이나 관리분야에 있어서 매 우 주요하므로 지금까지 다양한 강우-유출 모형들이 개발되어 왔으며, 이 중 지형적인 특성인자 를 최대한 고려한 분산형 모형은 기존의 모형인 집중형 모형의 단점을 보완할 수 있다는 점에서 그 효용이 인정되어 왔다. 그러나 대유역에 적용할 경우에는 방대한 량의 공간자료를 처리하여야 하므로, 현실적으로 적용하기가 어려웠다. 본 연구에서는 우리의 지형에 맞는 분성형 강우-유출 모형을 개발하였으며, GIS 기법을 활용하 여 입력 자료를 생성, 입력 조작하고 이들을 병합시켜 사용자들이 보다 용이하게 사용할수 있도 록 통합된 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 이러한 시스템의 개발에는 실시간(on-line) 운영과 off-line 보정기능을 고려하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 일차로 데이타베이스, 모형, GIS 그리고 그 래픽 사용자 인터페이스의 기능을 병합시켜 신속한 최종결과는 도출시키는 on-line 운용을 할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 소양강 댐 유역의 1990년 9월 홍수를 대상으로 하여 댐 지점 의 유입 수문 곡선을 모의한 결과 사후 모형 보정단계를 거치지 않았음데도 불구하고 관측된 자 료와 비교적 잘 일치하여 실무에의 활용 가능성을 보여주었다.

In this review, we describe the absorption rates (Caco-2 cell permeability) and hepatic/plasma pharmacokinetics of 53 diverse chemicals estimated by modeling virtual oral administration in rats. To ensure that a broad range of chemical structures is present among the selected substances, the properties described by 196 chemical descriptors in a chemoinformatics tool were calculated for 50,000 randomly selected molecules in the original chemical space. To allow visualization, the resulting chemical space was projected onto a two-dimensional plane using generative topographic mapping. The calculated absorbance rates of the chemicals based on cell permeability studies were found to be inversely correlated to the no-observed-effect levels for hepatoxicity after oral administration, as obtained from the Hazard Evaluation Support System Integrated Platform in Japan (r = -0.88, p < 0.01, n = 27). The maximum plasma concentrations and the areas under the concentration-time curves (AUC) of a varied selection of chemicals were estimated using two different methods: simple one-compartment models (i.e., high-throughput toxicokinetic models) and simplified physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling consisting of chemical receptor (gut), metabolizing (liver), and central (main) compartments. The results obtained from the two methods were consistent. Although the maximum concentrations and AUC values of the 53 chemicals roughly correlated in the liver and plasma, inconsistencies were apparent between empirically measured concentrations and the PBPK-modeled levels. The lowest-observed-effect levels and the virtual hepatic AUC values obtained using PBPK models were inversely correlated (r = -0.78, p < 0.05, n = 7). The present simplified PBPK models could estimate the relationships between hepatic/plasma concentrations and oral doses of general chemicals using both forward and reverse dosimetry. These methods are therefore valuable for estimating hepatotoxicity.

구조물의 "3차원 설계"는 성공적인 BIM(building information modeling) 정착을 위한 핵심 기술이다. 이를 위해 다양한 BIM 라이브러리들이 개발되고 있지만 선형기반으로 구조물이 가설되는 교통 인프라의 설계업무에 적용하기에는 한계가 있다. 상용화된 BIM 소프트웨어들이 지원하는 라이브러리를 계획된 선형을 기반으로 구조물이 가설되는 교통 인프라의 설계업무에 적용하는 것은 사용성 측면에서 한계가 있다. 더욱이 조합을 고려하지 않고 개발된 라이브러리로 생성된 모델은 다양한 설계변경 상황에 대응하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 교통인프라 구조물인 철도 교량을 대상으로, 유관 시설 또는 부재에 대한 3차원 객체를 설계변경에 효율적으로 대처할 수 있도록 매개변수 기법을 적용한 'BIM기반 3D 모델 생성자동화 모듈'을 구축하였다. 모듈의 주요기능은 기준선형을 바탕으로 기준경로를 도출하고 다른 객체와의 조합을 고려하여 목표객체를 연장 및 배열하는 것이다. 또한 모듈의 조합으로 구성된 철도교량의 통합모델에 대하여 설계변수를 입력할 수 있는 사용자 인터페이스를 구성하여 설계변경 대응능력에 대한 적용성을 검증하였다.
