The ubiquitous flexible operating system (UbiFOS) is a real-time operating system designed for cost-conscious, low-power, small to medium-sized embedded systems such as cellular phones, MP3 players, and wearable computers. It offers efficient real-time operating system services like multi-task scheduling, memory management, inter-task communication and synchronization, and timers while keeping the kernel size to just a few to tens of kilobytes. For flexibility, UbiFOS uses various task scheduling policies such as cyclic time-slice (round-robin), priority-based preemption with round-robin, priority-based preemptive, and bitmap. When there are less than 64 tasks, bitmap scheduling is the best policy. The scheduling overhead is under 9 ${\mu}s$ on the ARM926EJ processor. UbiFOS also provides the flexibility for user to select from several inter-task communication techniques according to their applications. We ported UbiFOS on the ARM9-based DVD player (20 kB), the Calm16-based MP3 player (under 7 kB), and the ATmega128-based ubiquitous sensor node (under 6 kB). Also, we adopted the dynamic power management (DPM) scheme. Comparative experimental results show that UbiFOS could save energy up to 30% using DPM.

In this paper, digital motor control center using protection relay is developed in order to protect power systems by means of timely fault detection and diagnosis during operation for induction motor which have various load environments and capacities in power systems. Digital motor control center is employed by power supervisory control systems without separate remote terminal unit and transducers adding communicational ability. Also we develope a maximum demand controller to control the load effectively at peak status and a power factor controller to minimize real power losses and improve the power factor. Therefore, when using the developed controller, real time computation is possible by loading DSP in hardware and applying real-time kernel which can convert each algorithm to task module.

실시간 관제 시스템은 IoT, 이동통신과 같은 기반 기술의 발달과 공장관리, 차량 운행 체크 등 실시간성이 중요시되는 서비스가 증가함에 따라 급격히 성장하고 있다. 이 시스템의 시간적 민감성을 높이기 위해 다양한 솔루션이 제시되어 왔으나, 현재 대부분의 실시간 관제 시스템은 관제소 등에 위치한 로컬 서버와 다수의 클라이언트로 구성되어 있고, 이들은 다양한 단계를 거쳐 관제 시스템이 위치한 로컬 서버로 전송되고, 그 대응 역시 동일한 단계를 거쳐 진행되는 등 기존 네트워크 및 시스템의 구조적 한계가 있다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 관제 시스템 중 하나인 버스 정보 시스템이 정보를 수집한 시점에서 사용자에게 해당 정보를 제공하기까지 소모되는 시간을 줄일 수 있는 엣지 컴퓨팅 기반 실시간 관제 모델을 제안하였다. 기존 모델과 엣지 컴퓨팅 모델을 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 엣지 컴퓨팅 모델은 사용자에게 데이터를 전송하기 위한 코스트가 기존 모델에 비해 최소 10% 에서 최대 80%까지 감소함을 확인하였다.

With the development of industry and the improvement of living standards, better quality in power electric service is required more than ever before. This paper deals with the optimal algorithms for voltage regulation in the case where Distributed Storage and Generation (DSG) systems are operated in distribution systems. It is very difficult to handle the interconnection issues for proper voltage managements, because the randomness of the load variations and the irregular operation of DSG should be considered. This paper proposes the optimal on-line real time voltage regulation methods in power distribution systems interconnected with the DSG systems. In order to deliver suitable voltage to as many customers as possible, the optimal sending voltage should be decided by the effective voltage regulation method by using artificial neural networks to consider the rapid load variation and random operation characteristics of DSG systems. The simulation results from a case study show that the proposed method can be a practical tool for the voltage regulation in distribution systems including many DSG systems.

Watershed topographical information is required in hydrologic analysis, supporting efficient hydrologic model operation and managing water resources. Watershed topographical data extraction systems based on desktop GIS are abundant these days placing burdens for spatial data processing on users. This paper describes development of a Web-based Geographic Information Systems that can delineate the Geum River sub-basins and extract watershed topographical data in real time. Through this system, users can obtain a watershed boundary by selecting outlet location and then extracting topographical data including watershed area, boundary length, average altitude, slope distribution about the elevation range with Web browsers. Moreover, the system provides watershed hydrological data including land use, soil types, soil drainage conditions, and NRCS(Natural Resources Conservation Service) curve number for hydrologic model operation through grid overlay technique. The system operability was evaluated with the hydrological data of WAMIS(Water Management Information System) with the government operation Web site as reference data.

An efficient diagnostic approach for real-time operation aiding expert system in chemical process plants is discussed. The approach is based on the hybrid of the simplified symptom tree(SST) and the fault consequence digraph(FCD), representation of propagation patterns of fault states. The SST generates fault hypothesis efficiently and the FCD resolve the real fault accurately. Frame based knowledge representation and object-oriented programming make diagnostic system general and efficient. Truth maintenance system enables robust pattern matching and provides enhanced explain facilities. A prototype expert system for supports operation of naphtha furnaces process, called OASYS, has been built and tested to demonstrate this methodology. Utilization of diversified process symbolic data, produced using dynamic normal standards, overcomes the problem of qualitative Boolean reasoning and enhance the applicability.

심각해지는 교통난을 효율적으로 해결하기 위한 목적으로 실시간 신호제어시스템의 도입이 점차 확산되고 있다. 실시간 신호제어시스템은 수집정보의 신뢰도 및 시스템의 기능성이 중요하다 할 수 있으나, 시스템 구축 후 이에 대한 평가체계가 미비하여 본래의 기능을 제대로 수행하지 못하는 경우가 많이 발생하고 있다. 본 연구는 실시간 신호제어시스템에 대해 수집정보의 신뢰도는 물론 시스템의 기능성 등에 대한 평가를 통해 신호제어시스템 운영 효율을 파악하고 확장 및 운영의 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 분석결과 낮은 신뢰도를 보이거나, 이에 따른 대기행렬 길이 예측, 주기길이 변화, 좌회전 감응제어 등 시스템 기능성에 문제가 있는 부분들이 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 지속적인 모니터링을 통한 효율적인 유지보수체계가 필요하다고 판단된다.

This paper describes a message model based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language) to present real-time data from sensors and instruments at manufacturing processes for web service. HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is inadequate for describing real-time data from process control plants while it is suitable for displaying non-real-time multimedia data on web. For XML-based web service of process data, XML format for the data presentation was proposed after investigating data of various instruments at steel-making plants. Considering transmission delay inevitably caused from increased message length and processing delay from transformation of raw data into defined format, which was critical for operation of a real-time system, its performance was evaluated by simulation. In the simulation, we assumed two implementation models for conducting the transformation function. In one model, transformation was done at an SCC (Supervisory Control Computer) after receiving real-time data from instruments. In the other model, transformation had been carried out at instruments before the data were transmitted to the SCC. Various tests had been conducted under different conditions of offered loads and data lengths and their results were described.

In this paper, we propose an approach for real time computation of rayleigh CLAHE using a FPGA. The contrast enhancement technique should be applied in thermal equipment having a low contrast image. And thermal equipment must be processed in real time. The CLAHE is an improved algorithm based Histogram Equalization, but the HW design is complex. A value greater than a given threshold in CLAHE should be equally distributed on the other histogram bin, this process requires iterations for the distribution. But implementation of this processing in the FPGA is constrained, so this section was implemented on the assumption of the histogram distribution or modified the operation process or implemented separately in the CPU. In this paper, we designed a distinct redistribution operation in two stages. So FPGA was designed for easy, this was designed to be distributed evenly without the assumptions and constraints. In addition, we have designed a CLAHE with the rayleigh distribution to the FPGA. The simulation shows that the proposed method provides a better image quality in the thermal image.
