애플리케이션 소프트웨어 개발 환경이 빠르게 변함에 따라 사용자 인터페이스 설계의 중요성이 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 대부분의 설계자들은 설계 인터페이스에서 상호 의존성 있는 객체들을 정의하기 위해 개인 각자의 주관적인 방법으로 그룹화한다. 그러나 특정한 규칙이 배제된 체 설계된 인터페이스는 이러한 시스템을 사용하는 사용자들에게 업무의 비효율성과 복잡성만 증가시킬 뿐이다. 그러므로, 본 논문에서는 인터페이스 프로토타입을 정형화 함으로써 어떠한 GUI 환경에서도 유연한 개발을 할 수 있도록 객체지향 설계 모델을 제안한다. 사용자 인터페이스의 가시적 응집도는 사용자 인터페이스 내용들과 연관된 연구를 해왔던 새로운 범주영역이며, 기본적 소프트웨어 공학 개념을 사용하는 것을 정의한 것으로서 인터페이스의 응집 원리에 기반한다. 가시적 응집도는 프로그래밍 단위로 나타나는 비즈니스 이벤트의 응집도 뿐 아니라 각 단위 객체가 정렬되고 그룹화되는 방법에 대한 결과를 내포한다. 따라서 인터페이스는 비즈니스 이벤트들이 상호 연관성으로 그룹화 된다면 이해하기 쉽고 사용하기가 더욱 용이해질 것이다.

빠른 데이터 처리를 위하여 기존에는 소프트웨어방식으로 구현되었던 TCP/IP를 고속의 하드웨어로 구현함에 있어, TCP/IP 하드웨어와 외부 블록간의 통신을 중계하는 블록인 Host Interface를 구현하였다. Host Interface는 TCP/IP 하드웨어와 외부 블록의 중간에 위치하여 외부 블록과의 통신을 위해 AMBA AHB 규약을 따른다. Host Interface는 내부의 Command/Status Register를 통하여 CPU와 TCP/IP 하드웨어 간의 명령, 상태, 헤더 정보 등을 전달하는데 이 때에는 AMBA AHB의 Slave로서 동작한다. Data Flow를 위해서 Host Interface는 AMBA AHB의 Master로서 동작하는데, 데이터 흐름의 방향에 따라 Data flow는 데이터를 수신하는 Receive flow와 데이터를 패킷으로 만들어 보내는 Transmit Flow로 나된다. Rx Flow의 경우, UDP 블록이나 TCP Buffer로부터 받은 데이터를 내부의 작은 RxFIFO를 통해 외부 RxRAM에 써서 CPU가 읽어갈 수 있도록 하고, Tx Flow의 경우에는 외부 TxRAM에서 전송할 데이터를 읽어 와서 TxFIFO를 거쳐 UDP Buffer나 TCP Buffer에 씀으로써 패킷을 만들어 보내도록 한다. 외부 RAM의 액세스에는 Command/Status Register에 위치한 Buffer Descriptor의 정보를 이용하게 된다. Host Interface는 이러한Data Flow의 원활한 흐름을 위해서 여러 세부 기능들을 수행하게 된다. Host Interface의 기능을 검증하기 위하여 여러 testcase들이 수행되었으며, 0.18 마이크론 기술을 사용하여 synthesis한 결과, 내부의 Command/Status Register와 FIFO를 모두 포함하여 약 173K 게이트가 소요됨을 보았다.

In mobile device's user interface, menu organization is very important as well as menu structure because small display of mobile device. Menu items should be organized based on user knowledge structure to design user-centered interface. Traditionally, MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) have been most often used to expose users' perceived organization of menu items. But, information that MDS reveals is just relative spatial location of concepts and not relevant to concepts connection. Unlike MDS, Trajectory Mapping explicitly finds users' cognitive links between perceived concepts. This study proposes a Trajectory Mapping technique for eliciting knowledge structure, especially a set of cognitive pathways linking menu items, from end user. With twelve participants, MDS and Trajectory Mapping were conducted using cellular phone's menu items. And user knowledge structure was analyzed through Visual Concept Map that combination of results of MDS and Trajectory Mapping. After then, menu items were organized according to users' perceived organization. Empirical usability test was also conducted. The results of usability test showed that usability, in terms of task performance time, number of errors, and satisfaction, for newly organized interface was significantly improved compare to original interface. The methodology of this study is expected to be applicable to design a user-centered interface. In other words, Trajectory Mapping technique can be used as a design tool of user interface for imposing user knowledge structure on the interface.

This paper introduces a graphical user interface design that is aimed to apply to the surveillance and security robot, which is the pilot program for the army unmanned light combat vehicle. It is essential to consider the activities of robot users under the changing security environment in order to design the efficient graphical user interface between user and robot to accomplish the designated mission. The proposed design approach firstly identifies the user activities to accomplish the mission in the standardized scenarios of military surveillance and security operation and then develops the hierarchy of the interface elements that are required to execute the tasks in the surveillance and security scenarios. The developed graphical user interface includes input control component, navigation component, information display component, and accordion and verified by the potential users from the various skilled levels with the military background. The assessment said that the newly developed user interface includes all the critical elements to execute the mission and is simpler and more intuitive compared to the legacy interface design that was more focused on the technical and functional information and informative to the system developing engineers rather than field users.

This paper describes the thermal contact resistance and its effect on the performance of thermal interface material. An ASTM D 5470 based apparatus is used to measure the thermal interface resistance. Bulk thermal conductivity of different interface material is measured and compared with manufacturers' data. Also, the effect of grease void in the contact surface is investigated using the same apparatus. The flat type thermal interface tester is proposed and compared with conventional one to consider the effect of lateral heat flow. The results show that bulk thermal conductivity alone is not the basis to select the interface material because high bulk thermal conductivity interface material can have high thermal contact resistance, and that the center voiding affects the thermal interface resistance seriously. On the aspect of heat flow direction, thermal impedance of the lateral heat flow shows higher than that of the longitudinal heat flow by sixteen percent.

Two dimensional numerical investigations were carried out to study the influence of interface thickness and their pattern on the behavior of reinforced concrete frames subjected to in-plane lateral loads using commercial finite element tool SAP 2000. The linear elastic analysis was carried out on one and two bay structural systems as well as the influence of number of stories was studied by varying the number of stories as single, three and five. The cement mortar was used as interface material and their effect was studied by varying thicknesses as 6, 8, 10, 14 and 20 mm. The interface was recognized as one sided, two sided, three sided and four sided and their effect was studied by removing the interface material between the reinforced concrete frame and masonry infill. The effect of lateral loads on infill masonry wall was also studied by varying assumed loads as 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 kN. The behavior of infilled frames studied has revealed that there is a maximum influence of interface thickness and interface pattern corresponding to 10 mm thickness. In general, the lateral displacement of frame is increased linearly with increase in lateral loads.

In order to examine how the solid-liquid interface responds to temperature variation depending on the materials characteristics, i.e. faceted phase or nonfaceted phase, the moving solid-liquid interface of transparent organic material, as a model substance for metallic materials (pivalic acid, camphene, salol, and camphor-50wt% naphthalene) was observed in-situ. Plots of the interface movement distance against time were obtained. The solid-liquid interface of the nonfaceted phase is atomically rough; it migrates in continuous mode, giving smooth curves of the distance-time plot. This is the case for pivalic acid and camphene. It was expected that the faceted phases would show different types of curves of the distance-time plot because of the atomically smooth solid-liquid interface. However, salol (faceted phase) shows a curve of the distance-time plot as smooth as that of the nonfaceted phases. This indicates that the solid-liquid interface of salol migrates as continuously as that of the nonfaceted phases. This is in contrast with the case of naphthalene, one of the faceted phases, for which the solid-liquid interface migrates in "stop and go" mode, giving a stepwise curve of the distance-time plot.

Most mobile devices provide limited input interfaces in order to maximize the mobility and the portability. In this paper, the author proposes a small cubic-shaped tangible input interface which tracks the location, the direction, and the velocity using MEMS sensor technology to overcome the physical limitations of the poor input devices in mobile computing environments. As the preliminary phase for implementing the proposed tangible input interface, the prototype design and implementation methods are described in this paper. Various experiments such as menu manipulation, 3-dimensional contents control, and sensor data visualization have been performed in order to verify the validity of the proposed interface. The proposed tangible device enables direct and intuitive manipulation. It is obvious that the mobile computing will be more widespread and various kinds of new contents will emerge in near future. The proposed interface can be successfully employed for the new contents services that cannot be easily implemented because of the limitation of current input devices. It is also obvious that this kind of interface will be a critical component for future mobile communication environments. The proposed tangible interface will be further improved to be applied to various contents manipulation including 2D/3D games.

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study interface structures between an $Al_2O_3$ crystalline phase and a interface phase of $CaAl_2Si_2O_8$. We calculated atomic structures and excess interface energies in systems with different thicknesses of the interface film. It was found that excess interface energies at first readily decreased with increasing film thickness, but increased for larger thicknesses of more than 2 nm. The excess energies of $Al_2O_3/CaAl_2Si_2O_8$ interfaces exhibit a minimum at a thickness around 1 nm. In this range of film thicknesses, the atoms in the interface film show a short-range ordered structure and slow diffusion rather than the random structure and rapid diffusion expected to an observation of an equilibrium thickness for interface films in ceramics.
