Some two years ago our company undertook a project on manufacturing network rationalization to maximize competitiveness through continuous improvement in manufacturing efficiency. One key outcome was the recognition of the benefits that could be derived from timely application of new technology or novel use of existing technologies and even more importantly the need to develop company wide strategies to maximize the impact of such applications. As a direct result an exercise was undertaken to identify the ten most promising technologies from a list of literally hundreds seen as having the capability of making a rapid impact on the manufacturing initiative. One of the outcomes of this exercise was the identification of Near Infrared Spectroscopy as a pivotal technology for improving process understanding, performance, and control to deliver consistent product quality cost effectively with broad applicability across our product range. While NIR had been in use in targeted areas on some of our sites for some years our new challenge was to develop a strategy to extend NIRs application, initially over 17 manufacturing sites, while concurrently expanding the NIR skill base company wide to ensure that the return on initial investment could be further maximized as shared applications across the remaining sites as required. This presentation will provide an overview of how life cycle based user requirement specifications were developed covering: ㆍSpectrophotometers ㆍSample interfaces ㆍSoftware ㆍEquipment and Software qualification ㆍCalibration transfer ㆍ Ease of developing effective user interfaces and control for applications transferred to a production area ㆍUser training ㆍWorld wide support The presentation will also describe the process adopted for vendor selection to ensure maximum utilization of the existing company wide NIR skill base and its future development to expedite applications of the technology in development, quality control and production areas.

As the demand for precise navigation has increased, more focus is put on the precise positioning, RTK(Real Time Kinematics) which has been used in the surveying field. The Position of Single Reference Station RTK or two-way network RTK such as VRS (Virtual Reference Station) is accurate enough to be used as a main technology in land surveying, however its service area and number of users is limited and the users are assumed static. This characteristic is not suitable to the navigation, whose service target is infinite number of users moving over a wide area. One-way network RTK has recently been suggested as a solution for the precise navigation technique for the mobile user. This paper shows the performance prediction of the one-way network RTK such as MAC(Master-Auxiliary Concept), or FKP (Flachenkorrekturparameter). To show the performance variation by the rover position, we constructed a simulation data of users on the grid with 0.1 degree spacing between 36.5 and 37 degree latitude and between 127 and 127.5 degree longitude.

In this paper, we introduce a system and a set of algorithms for disseminating popular content to a large group of wireless clients spread over a wide area. This area is partitioned into multiple cells and there is a base station in each cell which is able to broadcast to the clients within its radio coverage. Dissemination of information in the proposed system is hybrid in nature: Each base station broadcasts a fraction of information in the form of random linear combinations of data blocks. Then the clients cooperate by exchanging packets to obtain their desired messages while they are moving arbitrarily over the area. In this paper, fundamental trade-offs between the average information delivery completion time at the clients and different parameters of the system such as bandwidth usage by the base stations, average energy consumption by the clients and the popularity of the spread information are studied. Moreover different heuristic algorithms are proposed to control and maintain a balance over these trade-offs. Also, the more complicated case of multiple sessions where each client is interested in an arbitrary subset of sessions is considered and two variants of the basic dissemination algorithm are proposed. The performance of all the proposed algorithms is evaluated via extensive numerical experiments.

To sense a wide area with mobile nodes, the uniformity of node deployment is a very important issue. In this paper, we consider the coverage problem to sense big data in sparse mobile ad hoc networks. In most existing works on the coverage problem, it has been assumed that the number of nodes is large enough to cover the area in the network. However, the coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks differs in the sense that a long-distance between nodes should be formed to avoid the overlapping coverage areas. We formulate the sensor coverage problem in sparse mobile ad hoc networks and provide the solution to the problem by a self-organized approach without a central authority. The experimental results show that our approach is more efficient than the existing ones, subject to both of coverage areas and energy consumption.

The Internet is recently evolving into the directions which is capable of incorporating stream-type services such as voice and video services. However, the existing Internet can only support a best-effort delivery model and thus it is difficult to satisfy these requirements as well as to provide the QoS beyond a certain degree. Accordingly, it is imperative to develop QoS based routing algorithm in order to allow the routing by the user's QoS demand and to be applied into wide area networks. In this thesis, we presented new routing algorithms and made performance evaluations. The proposed algorithms allow the routing by the user’s QoS demand level in order to provide the diverse Internet application services based on ATM network environment that is expected to play a role as an infrastructure of high-speed communication network. They also have a feature of shortening the waiting time for address analysis and have a quality-proven characteristics with enhanced network scalability.

Later on, consensus algorithms and protocols are discussed. Monitoring of the usage and statistics of energy distribution systems that can also be used to remotely control energy flow to a particular area. Further, the discussion on the blockchain-based frameworks that helps in the diagnosis and maintenance of smart grid equipment. We have also discussed several commercial implementations of blockchain in the smart grid. Finally, various challenges have been discussed for integrating these technologies. Overall, it can be said at the present point in time that blockchain technology certainly shows a lot of potentials from a customer perspective too and should be further developed by market participants. The approaches seen thus far may have a disruptive effect in the future and might require additional regulatory intervention in an already tightly regulated energy market. If blockchains are to deliver benefits for consumers (whether as consumers or prosumers of energy), a strong focus on consumer issues will be needed.

Following the technology developments of traffic network and communication for the wide area, the importance of the cooperation system to vitalize the wide area economy is increasing. Therefore, in this study, DongNam Kwon industry information system is established for the industrial information sharing based on GIS in the DongNam Kwon wide area economy. The DongNam Kwon is an industrial integration area centered with the manufacturing so that the operation of effective industrial cluster and cooperation systems are required across the administrational boundaries. To establish the database of the information, the information system was established utilizing already established industrial databases in Busan, Ulsan and Gyeongnam. But, various issues caused by the discordances among the data of each local government and the insufficiency of GIS based location information have been found. According to the analysis, the standardization considering the courses of collection, distributions and utilization are required immediately to solve the issues. This study establishes an 2-way industrial information system enabling the information creation and the phased approach between the administrator and the user in the bi-directions on the web by utilizing cadastral and numerical maps. The result of this study would have a meaning in providing a fundamental frame for cooperative responses and cooperation system for DongNam Kwon's industrial promotion using industrial information sharing.

The collapse of a slope or cut embankment brings much damage to life and property. Accordingly, it is very important to analyze the spatial distribution by calculating the landslide susceptibility in the estimation of the risk of landslide occurrence. The heuristic, statistic, deterministic, and probabilistic methods have been introduced to make landslide susceptibility maps. In many cases, however, the reliability is low due to insufficient field data, and the qualitative experience and knowledge of experts could not be combined with the quantitative mechanical?analysis model in the existing methods. In this paper, new modeling method for a probabilistic landslide susceptibility analysis combined Bayesian Network with ontology model about experts' knowledge and spatial data was proposed. The ontology model, which was made using the reasoning engine, was automatically converted into the Bayesian Network structure. Through conditional probabilistic reasoning using the created Bayesian Network, landslide susceptibility with uncertainty was analyzed, and the results were described in maps, using GIS. The developed Bayesian Network was then applied to the test-site to verify its effect, and the result corresponded to the landslide traces boundary at 86.5% accuracy. We expect that general users will be able to make a landslide susceptibility analysis over a wide area without experts' help.

Wireless mesh network extends the limited coverage of conventional wireless service from one-hop access point to wider area. It is recognized as an important issue to provide seamless handoff in the wide coverage of wireless mesh network. A long handoff delay may cause high packet loss and disconnection of service, degrading the network performance. The handoff delay is mainly introduced from the channel scanning process obtaining information to make handoff decision and the unnecessary handoffs due to inaccurate handoff decision. In this paper, we propose the handoff algorithm based on one-way trip time (OTT) to expedite the handoff procedure. As compared to the handoff algorithm based on the receiving signal power, the proposed algorithm takes advantage of OTT to obtain the necessary handoff information in a relatively shorter time and reduce the unnecessary handoffs. The performance of proposed algorithm is evaluated through the simulations. It is verified that the proposed handoff algorithm can effectively enhance the handoff accuracy, and therefore reduce the handoff delay and unnecessary handoffs.
