This paper proposes a multimodal sensor platform which supports plug and play (PnP) technology. PnP technology automatically recognizes a connected sensor module and an application program easily controls a sensor. To verify a multimodal platform for PnP technology, we build up a firmware and have the experiment on a sensor system. When a sensor module is connected to the platform, a firmware recognizes the sensor module and reads sensor data. As a result, it provides PnP technology to simply plug sensors without any software configuration. Measured sensor raw data suffer from various distortions such as gain, offset, and non-linearity errors. Therefore, we introduce a polynomial calculation to compensate for sensor distortions. To find the optimal coefficients for sensor calibration, we apply a genetic algorithm which reduces the calibration time. It achieves reasonable performance using only a few data points with reducing 97% error in the worst case. The platform supports various protocols for multimodal sensors, i.e., UART, I2C, I2S, SPI, and GPIO.

In this paper, we discuss an effort to develop a multi-agent architecture through which heterogeneous applications communicate and cooperate by means of plug-and play mechanism. Three componets are created in order to challenge the plug-and-play mechanism : meta-information, PnP agent module, and ICM. The meta- information is used to automatically set up a suitable configuration for a new plugged application, eliminating the need for direct addressing among heterogeneous applications. The PnPagent module is a homogeneous controller that operates on an application to ensure that its activities are coordin ated with those of the others within the community, provides a homogeneous communication envelope for all heterogeneous applications. The combination of these three components is used to meet the desire for implementing the plug-and-play mechanism. In this distributed, open architecture, one should be able to simply plug in a new application and it should work.

본 논문에서는 최적의 성능을 갖는 병렬 프로그램을 개발하는데 필수 도구인 성능가시화기를 이식성, 확장성 그리고 효율성을 고려해 설계 및 구현한 PnP 스타일의 성능 가시화기에 대하여 기술한다. 본 가시화기는 기존 가시화기의 문제점인 수정 및 변용에의 어려움을 해결하기 위하여 독립된 계층구조인 인스트루멘테이션층, 인터페이스층, 가시화층으로 구성함으로써 확장성 및 이식성을 갖도록 하였다. 인스트루멘테이션층은 사건(event)을 포획하기 위해 개발된 라이브러리인 ECL(Event Capture Library)로 구성되며, 인터페이스층은 인스트루멘테이션층과 가시화층간에 확장성 있는 문제중심 인터페이스를 제공하기 위해 개발된 사건 기술 언어 및 Java 문제중심 엑세스 라이브러리로 구성되었다. 그리고 PnP 스타일의 성능 가시화기를 설계함으로써 뷰와 필터의 추가 및 수정이 용이하도록 가시화층을 구현하였다. 이렇게 구현된 성능가시화기는 독립된 도구로 사용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라 병렬 프로그래밍, 디버깅, 그리고 성능 분석이 통합된 프로그램 개발환경 구축의 핵심도구로서 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

부하 시스템의 용량 증대와 중요도에 따른 신뢰성 향상을 위해 Uninterruptible Power Supply(UPS)의 병렬운전 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 droop특성을 적용한 3상 UPS의 병렬운전 제어 알고리즘을 제안한다. 또, 기존의 droop 제어기를 적용한 UPS의 plug-and-play(PnP) 운전시 순환 전류의 원인을 분석하고 PnP 운전이 가능한 droop 제어기를 제안한다. 그리고 제안된 알고리즘의 타당성을 검증하기 위해 PSIM을 통해 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다.

A new droop control method which can be applied to 3-phase 4-wire uninterruptible power supply is proposed in this paper. The droop control method for parallel operation is very attractive one as UPS parallel operation can be carried out without any data communication devices provided among UPS systems connected, but it reportedly shows a PnP(plug-and-play) problem. A basic reason why a circulating current could flow among parallel-connected UPS systems is clearly investigated as well when droop-controlled-ups systems are operated in the manner of PnP. The proposed algorithm is deduced from the investigated result and is basically structured to keep a balanced frequency and balanced voltage profile against power variation. This paper shows that balanced parallel operation of droop control method can be obtained under unbalanced load as well as balanced load conditions when PnP operation is needed and load change occurs.

The control of electrical appliances residing in the home network can be accomplished via Internet with the UPnP expansion without modifying an existing UPnP. In this paper, we propose the Internet Gateway that consists of an UPnP IGD(Internet Gateway Device) DCP(Device Control Protocol) and an UPnP Bridge as a system to control electrical appliances of home network. UPnP IGD DCP is to enable the configurable initiation and sharing of Internet connections as well as assuring advanced connection-management features and management of host configuration service. It also supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. UPnP Bridge searches for local home network devices by sending control messages, while control point of UPnP Bridge looks up devices of interest on the Internet, subsequently furnishing the inter-networking controlling among devices which belong to different home network systems. With our approach, devices on one home network can control home electrical appliances on the other hone network via Internet through IGD DCP with control commands of UPnP.

Logistics movement using ships has been used for many centuries, but maritime accidents are still difficult to predict and they occur on a large scale. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) made it mandatory to install Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) for safe seas, but S-57 standards applied to equipment were not updated over 30 years. In addition, it is difficult to keep the equipment up-to-date and revise standards as ships move around the world. In consideration of the limitations of S-57, the IHO developed the new standard as S-100 rather than an update of the S-57. In this study, the previously developed S-100 tool and S/W were configured as one platform and applied to the S-100 ECDIS. The platform conducts as the S-100 cycle and ecosystem from the creation of standards to release and practical use in ships. The hydrographic information standard is machine-readable as defined in S-100, and it has been validated that the latest standard can be applied using the Plug and Play (PnP) function without software system updates. It is expected that international organization such as the International Hydrographic Office (IHO) and the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA) shall develop and release standards and mariners can easily apply the latest standards to equipment through the machine-readable platform.

UPnP presents home network middleware for local home electrical appliances basedon internet protocols that is available access and control electrical appliances just in local home network. Itis designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged networks in the home, a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet. In this paper, Internet Gateway expands UPnP IGD(Internet Gateway Device) DCP(Device Control protocol) and UPnP IGP Bridge for Internet Home Network Electrical Appliance Control. UPnP IGD DCP is configurable initiation and sharing of internet connections, advanced connection-management features, management of host configuration service, and supports transparent Internet access by non-UPnP-certified devices. UPnP Bridge search for local home network devices by sending control messages. Control Point of UPnP Bridge search for devices of interest on the network and can control or be controlled all of functions by IGD DCP with control commands. Outside client, approach to UPnP IGD DCP, send control messages UPnP Bridge, and invoke each UPnP device. As a result, Electrical Appliance of Home Network base on UPnP, can control and be controlled via the Internet like ones in the one Home Network without modification of existing UPnP.
