As robotics systems are becoming more complex there is the need to promote component based robot development, where systems can be constructed as the composition and integration of reusable building block. One of the most important challenges facing component based robot development is safeguarding against software component failures and malfunctions. The health monitoring of the robot software is most fundamental factors not only to manage system at runtime but also to analysis information of software component in design phase of the robot application. And also as a lot of monitoring events are occurred during the execution of the robot software components, a simple data treatment and efficient memory management method is required. In this paper, we propose an efficient events monitoring and data management method by modeling robot software component and monitoring factors based on robot software framework. The monitoring factors, such as component execution runtime exception, Input/Output data, execution time, checkpoint-rollback are deduced and the detail monitoring events are defined. Furthermore, we define event record and monitor record pool suitable for robot software components and propose a efficient data management method. To verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed approach, a monitoring module and user interface has been implemented using OPRoS robot software framework. The proposed monitoring module can be used as monitoring tool to analysis the software components in robot design phase and plugged into self-healing system to monitor the system health status at runtime in robot systems.

This paper describes the design of a space-division switch which can support a self-healing operation of 2-fiber bidirectional line switched ring in 2.5Gb/s SDH-based transmission system. The switch having a 1.25Gb/s throughput has been designed and implemented with COMPASS tool and 0.87$\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS gate-array. The proposed switch is suitable for the quickly self-healing operations when a failure occurs in a 2-fiber bidirectional switched ring composed of ADM transmission systems. The switch is composed of an add/drop control part, a cross-point switch, a frame-phase aligner, processor interface and an unequipped data framer. The test results of the switch adapted to 2.SGb/s SDH-based transmission system, show immediate restoration when a failure occurs.

This paper proposes a scatternet topology formation, self-healing, and self-routing path optimization algorithm based on Relative Neighborhood Graph. The performance of the algorithm using ns-2 and extensible Bluetooth simulator called blueware shows that even though RNG-FHR does not have superior performance, it is simpler and easier to implement in deploying the Ad-Hoc network in the distributed dynamic environments due to the exchange of fewer messages and the only dependency on local information. We realize that our proposed algorithm is more practicable in a reasonable size network than in a large scale.

Obsolescent control systems for power systems are evolving into intelligent systems and connecting with smart devices to give intelligence to the power systems. As networks of the control system are growing, vulnerability is also increasing. The communication network of distribution areas in the power system connects closely to vulnerable environments. Many cyber-attacks have been founded in the power system, and they could be more critical as the power system becomes more intelligent. From these environment, new communication network architecture and mitigation method against cyber-attacks are needed. Availability and Fault Tree analysis used to show that the proposed system enhances performance of current control systems.

To generate finite-power Airy beams, a novel holographic method is proposed. We record the interference pattern between an Airy beam (signal beam) and plane wave (reference beam) on a photopolymer, then decode the hologram by illuminating with the reference beam. The reconstructed beams still present the non-diffraction, acceleration, and self-healing features of optical Airy beams. In addition, angular multiplexing of two Airy beams with opposite acceleration directions is presented.

Sophisticated polymeric materials with 'responsive' properties are beginning to reach the market. The use of reversible, noncovalent interactions is a recurring design principle for responsive materials. Recently developed hydrogen-bonding units allow this design principle to be taken to its extreme. Supramolecular polymers, where hydrogen bonds are the only force keeping the monomers together, form materials whose (mechanical) properties respond strongly to a change in temperature or solvent. In this review, we describe some examples of hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers that can be utilized for self-healing materials. Synthesis of a rubber-like material that can be recycled might not seem exciting. But one that can also repeatedly repair itself at room temperature, without adhesives, really stretches the imagination. Autonomic healing materials respond without external intervention to environmental stimuli in a nonlinear and productive fashion, and have great potential for advanced engineering systems.

It has limits that system administrator deals with many problems occurred in systems because computing environments are increasingly complex. It is issued that systems have an ability to recognize system's situations and adapt them by itself in order to resolve these limits. But it requires much experiences and knowledge to build the Self-Adaptive System. The difficulty that builds the Self-Adaptive System has been problems. This paper proposes a technique that generates automatically the codes of the Self-Adaptive System in order to make the system to be built more easily. This Self-Adaptive System resolves partially the problems about ineffectiveness of the exceeded usage of the system resource that was previous research's problem and incorrect operation that is occurred by external factors such as virus. In this paper, we applied the proposed approach to the file transfer module that is in the video conferencing system in order to evaluate it. We compared the length of the codes, the number of Classes that are created by the developers, and development time. We have confirmed this approach to have the effectiveness.

컴퓨팅 시스템이 복잡해 지면서 기존의 관리자에 의한 유지 보수는 한계에 직면하였다. 이에 따라 시스템이 스스로 상태를 감시하고 문제가 발생하였을 경우 스스로 문제를 해결하는 자율 컴퓨팅은 컴퓨팅 시스템의 유지 및 운영을 위한 대안으로 기대되고 있다. 자율 컴퓨팅 중 하나인 자가 치유 방법은 시스템의 문제가 발생하였을 때 스스로 치유하여 시스템을 정상 상태로 되돌리는 기법이다. 리부팅은 간단하고 실용적이며 효율적으로 다양한 시스템의 문제를 해결하는 자가 치유 방법 중 하나이다. 리부팅은 시스템의 문제 발생 원인과 위치를 알지 못해도 시스템을 빠르고 쉽게 복구할 수 있다. 그러나 리부팅 전략은 예기치 못한 데이터의 손실을 가져올 수 있으며 복구 시간이 예상보다 길어지는 등의 문제가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 무상태 소프트웨어와 마이크로리부팅을 이용한 소프트웨어 자가 치유 방법론을 제안한다.

Purpose: This qualitative study used interpretative phenomenological analysis and photovoice methods to explore the meaning of non-suicidal self-injury experienced by adolescents. Methods: Participants were adolescents enrolled in middle and high schools in Gyeonggi-do and Jeollabuk-do who were selected through snowball sampling. Six participants had repeatedly engaged in self-injurious behavior for over a year. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and the photovoice method between November 2020 and July 2021. The collected data were analyzed using six steps of interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The results yielded 5 main themes and 18 subthemes. The main themes were 'a silent cry to an indifferent world', 'a heartache that one endures with scars', 'an inescapable cycle', 'filling the space in one's heart', and 'healing the wounds'. The study findings revealed that the self-injurious behavior of adolescents began as a consequence of feeling lost and struggling with conflicts at home and school, which helped them relieve tension and pain. Nonetheless, inflicting self-injury only left signs of regret and remorse, which became a trace that the participants wanted to hide. However, the wounds healed after receiving attention and support from others. They were determined to stop engaging in repeated self-injurious behaviors and made efforts to do so. Conclusion: This study can be used as a basis for the development of educational programs to prevent non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents. Additionally, it can inform nursing interventions that focus on building support systems to help adolescents who attempt self-injury.
