Recently many global enterprises build RTLS system for their environments. RTLS is used to detect object at real tim e. Unlike RFID, RTLS tags are read automatically and continuously, independent of the process that moves the tags. The proposed functionality of standard API has two problems. When middleware provides data to application, it sends a huge amount of data that may be useless. When only an application requests for data, the middleware replies result data in synchronous mode. This paper proposes a method to reduce an amount of data transferring from middleware to application and an addition communication mode to support real-time event processing in the middleware. Also, we designed and implemented an RTLS middleware applying the proposed methods.

Multimedia Systems such as VOD(Video On Demand) and MOD (Multimedia On Demand) need to support continuous media operations which are randomly called by concurrent users and require that stored media be accessed in real-tim. To satisfy such a requirements, disk arrays consisting of multiple disks are generally used as storage systems. Under the real-time environments to provide users with accessing continuous media in the parallel and concurrent manner, storage systems should be able to deal with user requests independently. In this paper, we present a new fault-tolerant continuous media storage system called PADA(PRR\ulcorner bAsed Disk Array), which is based on a PRR\ulcorner (Prime Round Robin with Grouped Parties) disk placement scheme with enhanced reliability nd load-balancing. We have compared and evaluated the storage space overhead for fault-tolerance, the reliability of diks array systems, the degree of disk load0-balancing, the demanded buffer space, the maximum number of users being capable of supporting and the fault recovery overhead for PADA, RAID 5 and Declustered storage systems. According to the results, PADA is the best among them in that PADA satisfies load-balancing more effectively and servces more user in case of arbitrary-rate retrievals.

A heart diagnosis system adopts Superconducting Quantum Interface Device(SQUD) sensors for precise MCG(MagnetoCardioGram) signal acquisitions. Such system needs to deal with hundreds of sensors, requiring fast signal sampling md precise analog-to-digital conversions(ADC). Our development of hardware board, processing 64-channel 12-bit in 1 ks/s speed, is built by using 8-channel ADC chips, 8-bit microprocessors, SPI interfaces, and specially designed parallel data transfers between microprocessors to meet the 1ks/s, i.e. 1 mili-second sampling interval. We extend the design into 256-channel hardware and analyze the speed .using the measured data from the 64-channel hardware. Since our design exploits full parallel processing, Assembly level coding, and NOP(No Operation) instruction for timing control, the design provides expandability and lowest system timing margin. Our result concludes that the data collection with 256-channel analog input signals can be done in 201.5us time-interval which is much shorter than the required 1 mili-second period.

This paper proposed a new technology to control a path forging parts in limited narrow space of manufacturing process automation for smart factory. In the motion control, we adapted the obstacle avoidance technology based on ultrasonic sensors. The new motion control performance test for a mobile robot is experimented in narrow space environments. The travelling path control is performed by a fuzzy control logic. which plays a role for selecting an appropriate behavior in accordance with the situation in the vicinity of the mobile robot. Ultrasonic sensors installed at the front face of the mobile robot are used. In order to update the current position and heading angle of the mobile robot, a new approch is adapted. The reliability is illustrated by simulation and experiments.

In this paper, we introduce MDA based Development Method for Embedded Software Component. This method applies MDA approach to solve problems about reusability of the heterogeneous embedded software system. With our proposed method, we produce 'Target Independent Meta Model'(TIM) which is transformed into 'Target Specific Model'(TSM) and generate 'Target Dependent Code' (TDC) via TSM. We would like to reuse a meta-model to develop heterogeneous embedded software systems. To achieve this mechanism, we extend xUML to solve unrepresented elements (such as real things about concurrency, and real time, etc) on dynamic modeling of the particular system. We introduce 'MDA based Embedded S/W Modeling Tool' with extended XUML. With this tool, we would like to do more easily modeling embedded or concurrent/real time s/w systems. It contains two examples of heterogeneous imbedded systems which illustrate the proposed approach.

We synthesized glycidyl azide monomer(GAM) as a monomer for polymerization of glycidy azide polymer(GAP) which is a promising energetic prepolymer for a plastic-bonded explosive. Using quantitative real-tim in-situ infrared(in-situ IR) spectroscopy, kinetic study on the cationic ring opening polymerization of GAM was carried out. The reaction rate was obtained from monitoring the change of ether C-O stretching band($1050cm^{-1}$) in series IR spectra. The reaction was in accordance with the first-order reaction law for each of reaction temperature at 100/1 mole ratio of [GAM]/[$BF_3*etherate$]. In the ring opening polymerization of GAM, with ratio of [GAM]/[$BF_3*etherate$] to equal 100/1 at various temperature, the activation parameters obtained from the evaluation of kinetic data were ${\Delta}H^*$=14.34kcal/mol, ${\Delta}S^*=-12.31cal/mol{\cdot}K$ and $E_a$=14.89kcal/mol.

In this paper, we investigate the capture effect through experiments conducted with Iris nodes equipped with AT86RF230 radio transceivers. It is shown that the first arriving packet in a collision can capture the radio channel for equal power transmissions and may be decoded depending on the amount of overlap. A new 3-packet-capture scenario is introduced and implemented. To be able to understand the impact of capture on the throughput performance of wireless sensor networks, we present an analysis of the capture coefficient using our practical results. For real-world implementations, the throughput of pure ALOHA considering a finite number of users is presented in analytical form. The capture coefficient is then applied to pure ALOHA as a case study. Using analytical and practical implementations of the capture effect on ALOHA, a very good match in channel throughput performance enhancement is demonstrated over the non-capture effect case. TinyOS-2.x is used to program the nodes and to observe data exchange on a computer through a base station.

TMO (Tim-triggered Message-triggered Object) 는 분산환경에서의 정시보장 컴퓨팅을 목표로 제안된 실시간 객체 모델이다. TMO는 객체 자료저장소(object data store), 주기와 데드라인에 의해 구동되는 쓰레드와 이벤트 메시지 전달에 의해 데드라인 방식으로 구동되는 쓰레드로 구성된다. 이러한 TMO 의 수행을 위해, 윈도우 운영체제상의 WTMOS, 리눅스 상의 LTMOS 와 리눅스 커널 내부에서 TMO를 제공하기 위한 TMO-Linux등의 엔진들이 개발되었다. 이러한 엔진들은 서로 다른 플랫폼을 가진 네트워크 환경에서 논리적 멀티캐스트 채널 방식의 분산 IPC 를 기반으로 TMO 의 분산 컴퓨팅을 지원한다 단, 기존의 분산 IPC 는 UDP 기반의 브로드캐스트 방식을 사용하기 때문에 같은 서브 네트워크에 속한 노드들로만 분산 환경을 구축할 수 있고, 특정 채널을 사용하지 않는 노드에도 메시지를 전달하는 브로드캐스팅 오버혜드가 발생하며, UDP 의 특성에 기인한 신뢰성 저하의 문제를 갖고 있다 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해, TMO 엔진의 분산 IPC 모델에 Channel Binding을 통한 그룹 커뮤니케이션 기법을 도입하고 이를 TCP 기반으로 확장하였다.

This paper introduces step by step procedures for the fabrication and operation of an embedded solar tracker. The system presented consists of application software, compactRIO, C-series interface module, analogue input module, step drive, step motor, feedback devices and other accessories to support its functional stability. CompactRIO that has a real-tim processor allows the solar tracker to be a stand-alone real time system which operates automatically without any external control. An astronomical method and an optical method were used for a high-precision solar tracker. CdS sensors are used to constantly generate feedback signals to the controller, which allow a solar tracker to track the sun even under adverse conditions. The database of solar position and sunrise and sunset time was compared with those of those of the Astronomical Applications Department of the U.S. Naval Observatory. The results presented here clearly demonstrate the high-accuracy of the present system in solar tracking, which are applicable to many existing solar systems.

Ground Transportation is one of the most required field that users need positioning information Especially, more precise position can make smart traffic management possible and bring convenience to users. By advanced wireless network, cars can receive the GPS information of reference station in any tim e and any where. Thus land vehicles are possible to process precise positioning. In general, for precise positioning code and phase measurements are used. But receivers provide not only code and phase measurements but also doppler measurements and Doppler is direct measurement of velocity. In this paper, because velocity is very important information required in Ground Transportation, precise positioning for Ground Transportation is studied. For precise positioning RTK(Real-Time Kinematic) was used and double differenced doppler measurements were added, As a Result, positioning error by multipath and cycle slip was soften. However there still remained Positioning error. Thus smoothing technique using doppler measurement in position domain is used for softening positioning error.
