The explosion in biological data resulting from high-throughput experiments requires new software tools to manipulate and display pathways in a way that can integrate disparate sources of information. A visual Java-based CAD tool for drawing and annotating biological pathways with semiautomatic image-processing features is described in this paper. The result of the image-editing process is an XML file for the appropriate links. This tool integrates the pathway images and XML file sources. The system has facilities for linking graphical objects to external databases and is capable of reproducing existing visual representations of pathway maps.

Computer-aided diagnosis of breast cancer is an important medical approach. In this research paper, we focus on combining two major methodologies, namely fuzzy base systems and the evolutionary genetic algorithms and on applying them to the Saudi Arabian breast cancer diagnosis database, to aid physicians in obtaining an early-computerized diagnosis and hence prevent the development of cancer through identification and removal or treatment of premalignant abnormalities; early detection can also improve survival and decrease mortality by detecting cancer at an early stage when treatment is more effective. Our hybrid algorithm, the genetic-fuzzy algorithm, has produced optimized systems that attain high classification performance, with simple and readily interpreted rules and with a good degree of confidence.

A software package CARDS for general purpose robot design, control, and simulation has been developed and is presented here. CARDS (Computer Aided Robot Design and Simulation) consists of a collection of standardized subroutine modules that carry out typical kineamatic, dynamic, and control computations so that the user only needs to write a main program that further defines a particular robot configuration and the task to be performed. It provides users a complete simulation environment, so that it will be a valuable engineering tool for mechanical designers as well as electric control designers.

This paper presents a design procedure for the supervisory controller(SC) of the high-speed train car. The proposed SC manages control logic and scenario of the overall train system, and monitors input/output signals among the sub-controllers in the system, The roles and functions of each sub-control system are defined, and the interfaces among the control systems are developed. Train control system is modeled with automata, and the model is implemented into a program using a computer-aided software engineering(CASE) tool, Object GEODE, The designed SC is verified and evaluated by using simulation. The SC is shown to successfully perform the designed functions without any errors.

During the complex systems development, a great deal of data are generated from both the systems engineering process and project management process, and also some data are required to be prepared for the system engineering management plan (SEMP). For the successful completion of the project, it is necessary to effectively manage all the data in order to maintain data consistency and traceability. To fulfill the necessity, this paper introduces the concept of an integrated data architecture and discusses its realization with $Cradle^{(R)}$(a computer aided systems engineering tool). Also, it was described how to automate the production of the SEMP in that working environment. The result of the approach, managing complex data efficiently in the systems engineering view, has been successfully applied in the Railway Safety Development Program.

The Railroad Safety Technology R&D Program has been supported by the Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs. The Program consists of dozen or more projects and thus is quite complex, which requires effective project management. This paper is discussing how to effectively manage the railroad safety technology R&D program based on systems engineering management plan (SEMP). The key issues dealt in this paper include the SE management, requirements management, verification and validation, integrated data base management, and traceability management. To achieve the goal, we first defined an appropriate SE process to be adopted in the program and the result was documented in the systems engineering management plan. According to the process defined, we set up the environmental frame in database. Using the database and SEMP, each project of the program was verified with respect to the corresponding requirements utilizing the traceability. All these efforts were carried out using a computer-aided SE tool, which enables efficient management of complex database.

A high-speed rail system represents a typical example of large-scale multi-disciplinary systems, consisting of subsystems such as train, electrical hardware, electronics, control, information, communication, civil technology etc. The system design and acquisition data of the large-scale system must be the subject under strict configuration control and management. Not only the requirements of the large-scale system dictate the contracts with the suppliers but also become the basis for the development process, project execution, system integration, and testing. The requirements database provide the system design specification of all development activities. Using the RDD-100, a systems engineering tool, the Korea next-generation high-speed rail program can establish requirements traceability and development process management in performing the enabling train technology development projects. This paper presents the results from a computer-aided systems engineering application to the Korea next-generation high-speed railway project. Especially, the focus of the study was on requirement management and PBS(Product Breakdown Structure) management.

This paper presents results from a computer-aided systems engineering application to system development projects. RDD-100 version of ALC Inc. was used in this work. The framework adopted in the study takes a unified approach to the system design and the process management associated with it, thereby coherent and full traceability between them is maintained. Conventional system engineering process supported by the tool is adopted in the system design. On the other hand, the same tool is also used to the systems engineering management to get full traceability between system design data and engineering management data. It is greatly helpful in managing many sub-contractors in the sense that the traceability can help identify the sub-project responsibility as well as the objectives of the project in coordination with interface requirements. We conclude with the advantage and limits of our unified approach.

As the use of digital systems becomes more prevalent, adequate techniques for software specification and analysis have become increasingly important in nuclear power plant (NPP) safety-critical systems. Additionally, the importance of software verification and validation (V&V) based on adequate specification has received greater emphasis in view of improving software quality. For thorough V&V of safety-critical systems, V&V should be performed throughout the software lifecycle. However, systematic V&V is difficult as it involves many manual-oriented tasks. Tool support is needed in order to more conveniently perform software V&V. In response, we developed four kinds of computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools to support system specification for a formal-based analysis according to the software lifecycle. In this work, we achieved optimized integration of each tool. The toolset, NuSEE, is an integrated environment for software specification and V&V for PLC based safety-critical systems. In accordance with the software lifecycle, NuSEE consists of NuSISRT for the concept phase, NuSRS for the requirements phase, NuSDS for the design phase and NuSCM for configuration management. It is believed that after further development our integrated environment will be a unique and promising software specification and analysis toolset that will support the entire software lifecycle for the development of PLC based NPP safety-critical systems.

This paper describes system technical requirement development process from operational concept using computer-aided Systems Engineering tool(CASysE Tool-CORE). The army tactical missile system-ATACMS's technical requirements are developed by the process as a case-study The scope of the work is context analysis and requirement definition process. The proposed process is as follows. At first, an integrated architecture could be developed from the operational concept. From the integrated architecture a capability needs, which includes KPPs, are generated. And the capability needs expanded according to the Mil-Std-961D format. Lastly, a system technical requirement could be generated automatically from the CASysE Tool-CORE.
