Container cranes are main equipments to load and unload containers to container ships at container terminals. If a crane breakdowns, it can reduce the productivity of container terminals. This paper deals with Preventive Maintenance (PM) schedules for the container cranes. The cranes consist of many parts and we analyze the structure of a container crane using the tree models. Next, we apply a Genetic Algorithm (GA) for determining optimal PM schedule and evaluate the performance of the proposed method through simulation system Finally, we explain how to adjust the PM schedule found in industry based on work schedules.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is an important part of infrastructures in ubiquitous computing. Although all products using tags is a target of these services, these products also are a target of attacking on user privacy and services using authentication problem between user and merchant, unfortunately. Presently, it is very important about security mechanism of RFID system and in this paper, we analyze the security protocol among many kinds of mechanisms to solve privacy and authentication problem using formal verification and propose a modified novel protocol. In addition, the possibility of practical implementation for proposed protocol will be discussed.

As the computing landscape is shifting to ubiquitous computing environments, there is increasingly growing the demand for a variety of device controls that react to user's implicit activities without excessively drawing user attentions. We developed an EMG-based car interface that enables the physically handicapped to drive a car using their functioning peripheral nerves. Our method extracts electromyogram signals caused by wrist movements from four places in the user's forearm and then infers the user's intent from the signals using multi-layered neural nets. By doing so, it makes it possible for the user to control the operation of car equipments and thus to drive the car. It also allows the user to enter inputs into the embedded computer through a user interface like an instrument LCD panel. We validated the effectiveness of our method through experimental use in a car built with the EMG-based interface.

Recently, lots of research activities have been carried out to provide advanced smart control functions applying a computer networking technology to telemeter/telecontrol systems. In this paper, we suggest client/server architecture with specially designed remote and local control software for applicant those to greenhouse model. The server system collects and integrates various datas related sensor or actuator, and stores in database maintaining high quality of remote I/O control operation. Where as the client system simply operation such as control panel on the internet web browser. Implemented system well communicate interactively both monitoring and control status of greenhouse including multimedia informations. In this study we also analyze the extent of the performance enhancement in terms of overall throughput and data transfer time effected by packet size.

In this paper, we present an indoor positioning system based on light emitting diode (LED). Because LED is a semiconductor light emitting device, we can easily switch and modulate electrical signals into lightwave signals at high speed using LEDs. We assigned unique 8-bit ID address to each LED lights. Photo diode receives data from 16-LED lights and takes correlation coefficient beteween received data and each LED-ID. Using correlation coefficient, proposed positioning system shows resolution of 50 cm in dimensions of $4\;m\;{\times}\;4\;m\;{\times}\;2\;m$.

제2만덕터널은 부산시민의 생활에 반드시 필수적인 장소로 하루 10만대의 차량이 이용하는 곳이지만 터널의 노후화와 안전시설의 미비로 사고발생시 인명피해는 물론 경제적 손실 발생 가능성이 큰 터널 시설물이다. 제2만덕터널은 2005년 7윌부터 2006년 9월까지 교통사고 56건, 고장사고 44건, 화재 2건, 기타 11건의 사고가 발생한 곳으로 관리사무소 전담요원 7명이 3교대로 근무하고 있으며 CCTV 15대만으로 사고를 대비하고 있다. 터널의 중요성을 고려할 때 노후화된 터널이지만 유비쿼터스 기술 및 구조물 계측기술을 적용한 안전관리 시스템이 필요하다. 제2만덕터널은 1985년에 준공되어 현재와 같은 보다 체계적인 터널 안전 관리 기술이 적용되리 많은 터널로 USN기반 구조물, 노면, 화재, 공기, 조명센서를 이용한 실시간 모니터링과 돌발적인 교통사고 발생 시에 신속한 복구 처리를 위하여 유관기관과 연계된 긴급 지원 시스템의 구축의 좋은 모델이 될 것이다. 부산광역시에는 총 17개 터널이 있으며 그 중 11곳이 90년 이전에 구축된 것으로 본사업으로 노후화 터널의 유비쿼터스 기반의 안전관리 시스템이 개발된다면 부산을 중심으로 전국에 산재한 노후화 터널의 안전 관리 개선에 미치는 파급효과가 클 것이며 유비쿼터스 기술의 대표적 적용 사례가 될 것이다.

It is crucial to predict water temperature for aquatic ecosystem studies and management. In this paper, we first address challenging issues in predicting water temperature in a real time manner and propose a distributed computing model to address such issues. Then, we present an Artificial Neural Network (ANN)-based water temperature prediction model developed for the Soyang River and a cyberinfrastructure system called WT-Agabus to run such prediction models in an automated and real time manner. The ANN model is designed to use only weather forecast data (air temperature and rainfall) that can be obtained by invoking the weather forecasting system at Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) and therefore can facilitate the automated and real time water temperature prediction. This paper also demonstrates how easily and efficiently the real time prediction can be implemented with the WT-Agabus prototype system.

Heart related diseases mainly caused by heavy work load and increasing stress in human daily life. Therefore, researches on mobile healthcare monitoring for daily life has been carried out. Notably, wearable healthcare monitoring system which has least restriction has been tried to provide an emergency alert of abnormal heart rate. In this study, we developed chair type unconstrained BCG measurement system which able to perform continuous heart status monitoring at the office and daily life in the unconstrained way. Furthermore, adaptive threshold is used to detect the heart rate from BCG signals. The HRV(heart rate variability) is calculated from heart rate interval. ECG signal measured using conventional method and BCG signal measured using unconstraint system are carried out simultaneously for the purpose of performance evaluation. From the comparison result, BCG signal shows a similar heart beat characteristic as ECG signal. This proves the possibility of practical implementation of unconstraint healthcare monitoring system. In addition, medical examination like valsalva maneuver is performed to observe the changes in HRV due to stress. By performing valsalva maneuver, heart is said to be placed under an artificial physical stress condition. Under this artificial physical stress condition, the time and frequency domain of HRV parameters are evaluated.

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.
