This paper deals with the development of a software module for production planning and scheduling activities of an existing Flexible Machining and Assembly System (FMAS). The Production Planning Module uses the hierarchical and sequential scheme based on "divide and conquer" philosophy. In this module, routes are determined based on the production order, orders are screened, tools are allocated, and order adjustments are executed according to the allocated tools. The Scheduling Module allocates the resources, determines the task priority and the start and completion times of tasks. Re-scheduling can be done to handle unforeseen situations such as lumpy demands and machine breakdowns. Since all modules are integrated with a central database and they interface independently, it is easy to append new modules or update the existing modules. The result of this study is used for operating the real FMAS consisting of a machining cell with 2 domestic NC machines and a part feeding robot, an assembly cell with a conveyor and 3 robots, an inspection cell, an AGV, an AS/RS, and a central control computer.

The demand for automatic manufacturing systems is increasing. One of the crucial obstacles to the Flexible Manufacturing System(FMS) is the lack of excellent strategies for efficient operations. The aim of this research is constructing an automaton scheme in the low level of factories where various machineries are involved. An operating strategy is established for an automation unit named as a cell which resides between the upper level computers and manufacturing shop floor. The cell is defined to fit into the total manufacturing system. The defined cell has more functions than conventional cells. A scheduling scheme is adopted for the shop floor operations. A set of software has been developed and tested through simulations and shop floor experiments.

Software RAID(Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive Disks) is defined as a storage system that provides capabilities of hardware RAID, and guarantees high reliability as well as high performance. In this paper, we propose an enhanced disk scheduling algorithm and a scheme to guarantee reliability of data. We also design and implement software RAID by utilizing these mechanism to develop a storage system for multimedia applications. Because the proposed algorithm improves a defect of traditional GSS algorithm that disk I/O requests arc served in a fixed order, it minimizes buffer consumption and reduces the number of deadline miss through service group exchange. Software RAID also alleviates data copy overhead during disk services by sharing kernel memory. Even though the implemented software RAID uses the parity approach to guarantee reliability of data, it adopts different data allocation scheme. Therefore, we reduce disk accesses in logical XOR operations to compute the new parity data on all write operations. In the performance evaluation experiments, we found that if we apply the proposed schemes to implement the Software RAID, it can be used as a storage system for small-sized video-on-demand servers.

Due to the increasing amount of electronic control system in a vehicle, the automotive software is increasingly sophisticated and complicated. Therefore it may be faced a time critical problem caused by its complexity. In order to solve such problems, the automotive electronic system can use a real-time scheduling mechanism based on predictability. We first consider the standard specification of the AUTOSAR OS and uC/OS-II such as its scheduling theory with time determinism. In this paper, we propose the scheduling algorithm to be conformable to a conformance class of OSEK/VDX specification. Algorithm analysis shows that our scheduling algorithm outperforms an existing Trampoline OS by intuition.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling discipline called packet loss fair scheduling, in which the packet loss of each user from different real-time traffic is fairly distributed according to the quality of service requirements. We consider an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The basic frame structure of the system is for the downlink in a cellular packet network, where the time axis is divided into a finite number of slots within a frame, and the frequency axis is segmented into subchannels that consist of multiple subcarriers. In addition, to compensate for fast and slow channel variation, we employ a link adaptation technique such as adaptive modulation and coding. From the simulation results, our proposed packet scheduling scheme can support QoS differentiations while guaranteeing short-term fairness as well as long-term fairness for various real-time traffic.

A Web crawler is an important Internet software technology used in a variety of Internet application software which includes search engines. As Internet continues to grow, implementations of high performance web crawlers are urgently demanded. In this paper, we study how to support dynamic scheduling for a multiprocess-based web crawler. For high performance, web crawlers are usually based on multiprocess in their implementations. In these systems, crawl scheduling which manages the allocation of web pages to each process for loading is one of the important issues. In this paper, we identify issues which are important and challenging in the crawl scheduling. To address the issue, we propose a dynamic crawl scheduling framework and subsequently a system architecture for a web crawler with dynamic crawl scheduling support. This paper presents the design of the Web crawler with dynamic scheduling support.

This paper proposes a reconfigurable scheduler model that can support various real-time scheduling algorithms. The proposed model consists of two hierarchical upper and lower components, task scheduler and scheduling framework, respectively. The scheduling framework provides a job dispatcher and software timers. The task scheduler implements an appropriate scheduling algorithm, which supports a specific real-time application, based on the scheduling framework. If system developers observe internal kernel interfaces to communicate between two hierarchical components, they can implement a new scheduling algorithm independent of complex low kernel mechanism. Once a task scheduler is developed, it can be reused in a new real-time system in future. In Real-Time Linux (5), we implemented the proposed scheduling framework and several representative real-time scheduling algorithms. Throughout these implementations, we confirmed that a new scheduling algorithm could be developed independently without updates of complex low kernel modules. In order to confirm efficiency of the proposed model, we measured the performance of representative task schedulers. The results showed that the scheduling overhead of proposed model, which has two separated components, is similar to that of a classic monolithic kernel scheduler.
