  • In the shared-memory mutiprocessor systems, shared processing techniques such as time-sharing, space¬sharing, and gang-scheduling are used to improve the overall system utilization for the parallel operations. Recently, LLPC(Loop-Level Process Control) allocation technique was proposed. It dynamically adjusts the needed number of processors for the execution of the parallel code portions based on the current system load in the given job. This method allocates as many available processors as possible, and does not save any processors for the parallel sections of other later-arriving applications. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a new processor allocation technique called FPA(Fuzzy Processor Allocation) that dynamically adjusts the number of processors by fuzzifYing the amounts ofueeded number of processors, loads, and estimated execution times of job. The proposed method provides the maximum possibility of the parallism of each job without system overload. We compare the performances of our approaches with the conventional results. The experiments show that the proposed method provides a better performance.

  • Purpose: Soil strength has been measured using a cone penetrometer, which is making it difficult to obtain the spatial data required for precision agriculture. Our objectives were to evaluate real-time horizontal soil strength (RHSS) to measure soil strength in real time while moving across the field. Using the RHSS data, the tillage depth was determined, and the power consumption of a tractor and rotavators were compared. Methods: The horizontal soil-strength index (HSSI) obtained by the RHSS was compared with the cone index (CI), which was measured using a cone penetrometer. Comparison analysis in accordance with the measurement depth that increased at 5-cm interval was conducted using kriged maps at six sensing depths. For tillage control and evaluation of the power consumption, the system was installed with a potentiometer for tillage depth, a torque sensor from the rear axle, and a power take-off (PTO) shaft. Results: The HSSI was lower than the CI, but they were the same at 54.81% of the total grids for the 5-cm depth and at 3.85% for the 10-cm depth. In accordance with the recommended tillage map, tillage operations between 0 and 15 cm left 2.3% and 7% residue cover on the soil, and that between 20 and 10 cm covered a wider utilization of 3% and 18.4%, respectively. When the tillage depth was 15 cm, the comparison result of the power requirements between the PTO and rear axle in terms of control performance revealed that the maximum power requirements of the axle and PTO were 44.63 and 23.24 kW, respectively. Conclusions: An HSSI measurement system was evaluated by comparison with the conventional soil strength measurement system (CI) and applied to a tractor to compare the tillage power consumption. Further study is needed on its application to various farm works using a tractor for precision agriculture.

  • The virtualization layer is executed in higher authority layer than kernel layer and suitable for monitoring operating systems. However, existing virtualization monitoring systems provide simple information about the usage rate of CPU or memory. In this paper, the monitoring system using full virtualization technique is proposed, which can monitor virtual machine's dynamic kernel object as memory, register, GDT, IDT and system call table. To verify the monitoring system, the proposed system was implemented based on KVM(Kernel-based Virtual Machine) with full virtualization that is directly applied to linux kernel without any modification. The proposed system consists of KvmAccess module to access KVM's internal object and API to provide other external modules with monitoring result. In experiments, the CPU utilization for monitoring operations in the proposed monitering system is 0.35% when the system is monitored with 1-second period. The proposed monitoring system has a little performance degradation.

  • Web designers generally use a story board, a site map, a flow chart or the combination of these for representing web sites. But these methods are difficult to represent the entire architecture of a web site, and may be not adaptive for describing the detail flow of web pages. To solve these problems to some degree, there were works using EMFG(Extended Mark Flow Graph) recently. However the conventional EMFG representation method is not adaptive to represent the dynamic interface of web sites because that cover only the static parts of a web site. Internet utilization is rapidly growing in our life and we cannot imagine the worlds of work, study and business without internet. And web sites recently have not only more complex and various architecture but also web pages containing the dynamic interface. Therefore we propose the representation method of these web sites - for example, a web site containing varying pages with time and varying page status or contents with mouse operations - using EMFG. We expect our work to be help the design and maintenance of web sites.

  • Here is a research on hospital foodservice system, when korea traditional food of pyeon yuk and bin dae deok were used by ready-prepared foodservice system, it was estimated the preservations of microbiological quality and sensory quality. All data collection was replicated three times. The results were as following; 1. In time and temperature data, two menu items were needed internal temperature below $7^{\circ}C$ in a cooling stage, and in the case of cook/chill storage, the days were shortened within weeks, and the holding time must be possiblely minimized. Finally foods were served sanitary. 2. In view of microbiological safety, in the case of cook/chill storage as $0{\sim}4^{\circ}C$ the days must be shortened within 2 weeks and its was possible to store until 6 weeks in $-20{\sim}-23.3^{\circ}C$. So to preserve pre-cooked food longly, it was effective to freeze them quickly by using vacuum package and to reheat them by a microwave oven before serving and to serve lastly in microbiological quality. 3. Hospital ready-prepared foodservice system with food storage in plastic bags, biochemical test of C. Perfingens C. botulinum and Salmonella were not detected. 4. By using of a microwave oven, it had effects of thawing, reheating and sterilizing of chilled and frozen foods in a short time. 5. Sensory evaluations were made by a 10-member panel using five scoring tests. Because sensory of quality was lowered in the case of chilled storage, it was possible to serve foods within 2 weeks. Texture and aroma were preserved by cook/frozen system and usually there was no significance from 4 weeks until 6 weeks, but considering of the objects, it was good to store until 4 weeks in sensory quality.

  • In this paper, in order to improve the utilization of hyperspectral large-capacity data feature information by reducing complex computations by dimension reduction of neural network inputs in embedded systems, the band selection algorithm is applied in each subset. Among feature extraction and feature selection techniques, the feature selection aim to improve the optimal number of bands suitable for datasets, regardless of wavelength range, and the time and performance, more than others algorithms. Through this experiment, although the time required was reduced by 1/3 to 1/9 times compared to the others band selection technique, meaningful results were improved by more than 4% in terms of performance through the K-neighbor classifier. Although it is difficult to utilize real-time hyperspectral data analysis now, it has confirmed the possibility of improvement.

  • A records management agency assessment must reflect the possibility of actual situations including conditions and implementation. Institutional evaluation systems and indicators tools to improve records management. However, the reality is difficult if they are not conducted through the resources and efforts of the organization. The 2017 evaluation system of the National Archives of Korea and the index, which was published in March 2016, are expected to be highly difficult to perform as the frontline field tasks of the institution for a year. It is composed of indices with questionable effectiveness that are difficult to implement on the field. Some of these include the following: three training sessions for more than 10% of all employees, submission of document archive pictures of all schools, submission of the index items of all documents, increasing the utilization level of the standard record management system for the electronic documents that have not been transferred for several years, the transfer of non-electronic documents of all institutions, reclassification of non-disclosed records, etc. It recognizes the fundamental problems of the records management system and the 2017 evaluation indicators that the National Archives has mentioned about operations. As such, now is the time to reflect the years of experience in the field to amass knowledge that will help improve records management.

  • Purpose: Generally, since the population density is lower in suburban areas, the distance to school is inevitably long. Therefore, schools in suburban areas often operate school buses to improve student welfare. However, since school buses are usually used only during going to and from school, the utilization rates are relatively low. Therefore, this study aims to establish integrated operation plan of public school bus covering all schools. Methods: It is necessary to decide which school buses will serve the specific demand node which want to go to certain school in order to design an integrated operation plan for school buses. Therefore, a mathematical model is developed for minimizing the total number of vehicles and the distance of transportation by reflecting the characteristics of school buses and students as constraints. To solve the proposed mathematical model, CPLEX, a commercial solver, is applied. Results: To validate and to confirm the proposed process, numerical example is designed with the comparison between before and after integrated operations of school buses in terms of total operation cost. The result shows that the integrated operation can lead the reduction of the number of school buses as well as the decreasing of the fuel cost. Conclusion: This study provides the quantitative method to perform the integrated operation of school buses in suburban areas. The optimal operation strategy is required because there are more complex decision-making elements considering the integrated operation. It is expected to apply this research result at real situation to expand this services based on an optimal operation.

  • Background: The objective of the present study was to specifically divide the various work performed by dental hygienists in clinical practice for legal amendments regarding problems associated with conflict between job roles and illegal delegation to establish key basic data for legislation and policy utilization for realization of legal scope of dental hygienists. Methods: The study used work reports drafted based on research methods in the "Second Job Analysis Report on Dental Hygienists" researched by the Korean Health Personnel Licensing Examination Institute in 2012 and "Opinions of Dentists on Actual and Legal Work of Dental Hygienists," a report published by the Korean Dental Hygienists Association. Of these, the study focused on conservation dentistry, pediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, and dental implant treatment, which make up some of the fields covered by dental hygiene practice, to investigate and analyzed work performed by clinical experience. Results: Analysis of work actually performed in dental practice showed that for work related to 33 items presented in the study methods, the participants responded that they are currently performing such work or are likely to perform such work in the future, although there were differences by year. Investigation by type of workplace showed that dental hygienists working in university hospitals could perform the work presented if they had ≥5 years of dental hygienist experience, whereas dental hygienists working in dental clinics or hospitals could perform simple duties in their first year and performed more diverse duties with greater degree of difficulty after their second to fourth year. Conclusion: The reality that medical assistance during surgical operations and various procedures that is still being performed is no longer legally protected directly contradicts the needs in dental practice, and thus, there is the need to amend laws that are realistic by clearly recognizing the work of dental hygienists.
