  • Real-time embedded systems have become pervasive in general industry. They also began to be applied in such domains as avionics, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and industrial Internet. However, the system failure of such domains could result in catastrophic consequences. Runtime software testing is required in such domains that demands very high accuracy. Traditional runtime software testing based on handwork is very inefficient and time consuming. Hence, test automation methodologies in runtime is demanding. In this paper, we introduce a software testing system that translates a real-time software into a monitorable real-time software. The monitorable real-time software means the software provides the monitoring information in runtime. The monitoring target are time constraints of the input real-time software. We anticipate that our system lessens the burden of runtime software testing.

  • The importance of mobile software test is being addressed to improve the productivity and reliability of the software. Test automation technique based on mobile platform is required for effective application of mobile software test. That is, a technique is needed to generate test case for mobile platform API. When test case generated, software productivity and reliability are improved, while test duration and cost are decreased. In this paper, we identified test case generation scope through previous works about test automation, suggested keyword driven method, a test case generation technique on J2ME platform, and recognized that proposed method can be applicable to generating test case based on J2ME platform.

  • Because the existing Human-Machine Interface (HMI) for the conventional substation cannot dynamically indicate the configuration information of the Substation Automation System (SAS). In this paper, an intelligent station HMI is proposed for IEC 61850 based substation. The program of the proposed HMI not only can automatically generate the layout of single line diagram, but can also indicate the communication network and functions of IEDs by reading SCL files. It greatly helps monitor the operation status, communication network and each IED dynamically, such as failure detection in SAS. Furthermore, this paper presents the possibility of developing new software for SAS with the full use of IEC 61850-6. Once the software is complete, there is no need to change it when the substation is upgraded or when it is migrated to other IEC 61850 based substations, which is a cost-effective solution.

  • The majority of the Web's success can be related to its productivity and flexibility. Web Services (WSs) have the means to create new patterns for the delivery of software capabilities. The WS easily provides the use of existing components available via the Internet. WSs are a new trend that shares ubiquitous systems with others, so the popularity of the Web is increased day by day with their associated systems. This paper will explore and adopt the possibility of developing a technique that will automate instructors' scheduling of timetables within a Web services environment. This technique has an advantage that facilitates users to reduce the time cost and effort by reducing errors and costs for institutes. Providing dependable tables to avoid mistakes related to instituting schedules is ensured by an automated repetitive manual procedure. Automated systems are increasingly developed based on organizations and their customers. Still, the setting's difficulty of automation systems increases to rise as the system architecture and applications must accomplish various requirements and specifications of ever-demanding project scenarios. The automation system is composed of an operating system, platforms, devices, machines, control system, and information technology. This architecture provides more productivity and optimized services. The main purpose of this paper is to apply an automation system to enhance both quality and productivity. This paper also covers an agile method of proving an automation system by Finite State Machine (FSM) and Attributed Graph Grammar (AGG) tool.

  • The industrial automation market encompasses all aspects of the discrete process in the manufactring industries. Nowadays many manufacturers are increasingly moving to increase plant capacity, and are trying to produce better quality at the lower costs. We have studied a modern projection-automation system to achieve the communication network which makes connection among all of the projection machines and connect them to a central computer. This communication system have to be very flexible and fast. Also we have studied the communication interface for the automatic production system including the hardware elements and the communication software.

  • The advance of computer, network, and Internet technology enables the control systems to process the massive data in the distributed computing environments. To implement and maintain the software in distributed environment, the component-based methodology is widely used. This paper proposes the middleware architecture for the distributed computer control system. With the proposed middleware services, it is relatively easy to maintain compatibility between products and to implement a portable control application. To achieve the compatibility between heterogeneous systems, the proposed architecture provides the communication protocols based on the XML with lightweight event-based service.

  • The development of technology provides and increases security as well as convenience for humans. The development of new technology directly affects the standard of life thanks to smart home automatic control systems. This paper describes a door control, automatic curtain, home security (CCTV, fire, gas, safe, etc.), home control (energy, light, ventilation, etc.) and web-based smart home automatic controller. It also describes the use of ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) for automatic control of home equipment, a Multi-Axes Servo Controller using FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and PLC (programmable logic controller). Additionally, it describes the development of a HTML editor using web auto control software. The tab loading time (7 seconds) is faster when using ARM-based web browser software instead of Chrome and Firefox is used because the browser has a small memory footprint (300M). This system is realized by web auto controller language which controls and uses PLCs that are easier than existing devices. This smart home automatic control technology can control smart home equipment anywhere and anytime and provides a remote interface through mobile equipment.

  • The purpose of the present paper are not to develope machine tools of new concepts and advanced mechanisms but to introduce and apply new methods and concepts in the design procedure by using and changing the previously existing technologies. In this paper 3D modeller was proposed for designing machine tools and the design and the better manufacturability checking than 2D one so that design error was dramatically reduced. As designer may easily understand the real shape of a part and assembly object, it's easy to draw the drawings not only in a conceptual design but also in a detailed design. Also, design automation software enabled designer to consider the real important design parameters by reducing time to spend in estimating and calculating the strength of the model by the computer aided automatic calculation instead of a tedious and complex calculation by manual method and help him to easily make the decision for selecting the stocks and design the structure of part or unit of machine tools.

  • Many mid-sized companies in Korean automotive industry have attempted to solve the lack of human power, to control the quality of components, to improve the production rate, and to innovate the manufacturing line. The goals of this study are to analyze the production rate of an automotive component manufacturing line using simulation software, to construct a Flexible Automation Subassembly (FAS) system and to suggest an optimized layout design using FAS line. In this research, the simulation model for manufacturing line was developed and used the realistic data of a medium sized company in Korean automotive industry. To complete this research, a simulation software 'ARENA' was used. This research analyzed the work distribution strategy and cycle time element for production flow and proposed an optimized layout to resolve line balancing problem which would bring the improved production rate.
