In this paper, we describe HW/SW co-optimizations for reconfigurable application specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs). Based on our previous very long instruction word (VLIW) ASIP, the proposed framework realizes various forward error-correction (FEC) algorithms for wireless communication systems. In order to enhance the energy efficiency, we newly introduce several design methodologies including high-radix algorithms, task-level out-of-order executions, and intensive resource allocations with loop-level rescheduling. The case study on the radix-4 turbo decoding shows that the proposed techniques improve the energy efficiency by 3.7 times compared to the previous architecture.

This study is an effort to bring our attention to social dependence on alcohol, focusing on previous studies of drinking behaviors. Although drinking behavior and problems must be understood in a biopsychosocial framework, a certain aspect is often ignored in alcohol research. A few attention has been paid to social aspect of alcohol abuse or dependence. Social processes of drinking behavior deserve to have same attention as other aspects, psychological and physical aspects of the behavior. Literature show that the interdependence among group members exists to regulate individual's drinking behavior. Such social interactions tend to control drinking level for individual in terms of amounts, frequency, and preference. The drinking level tends to be dependent on desires for heavy drinkers, ignoring variabilities of individual's sensitivity to alcohol. However, such a heavy-oriented tendency in drinking behavior may have different patterns which are function of normative orientation of alcohol. negotiation among group members, and ethnoreligious characteristics. Perspectives from conflict tradition and symbolic interactionism are welcomed to illuminate multi-dimentional aspects of social dependence. Policy implication were discussed from public health perspective.

A novel finite element (FE) model updating method based on multi-resolution analysis (MRA) is proposed. The true stiffness of the FE model is considered as the superposition of two pieces of stiffness information of different resolutions: the pre-defined stiffness information and updating stiffness information. While the resolution of former is solely decided by the meshing density of the FE model, the resolution of latter is decided by the limited information obtained from the experiment. The latter resolution is considerably lower than the former. Second generation wavelet is adopted to describe the updating stiffness information in the framework of MRA. This updating stiffness in MRA is realized at low level of resolution, therefore, needs less number of updating parameters. The efficiency of the optimization process is thus enhanced. The proposed method is suitable for the identification of multiple irregular cracks and performs well in capturing the global features of the structural damage. After the global features are identified, a refinement process proposed in the paper can be carried out to improve the performance of the MRA of the updating information. The effectiveness of the method is verified by numerical simulations of a box girder and the experiment of a three-span continues pre-stressed concrete bridge. It is shown that the proposed method corresponds well to the global features of the structural damage and is stable against the perturbation of modal parameters and small variations of the damage.

This study proposes a multi-scale dynamic system reliability analysis of control system as a method of quantitative evaluation of its performance in probabilistic terms. In this second paper, we discuss the control effect of the viscous damper on the seismic performance of the structure-level failure. Since the failure of one structural member does not necessarily cause the collapse of the structural system, we need to consider a set of failure scenarios of the structural system and compute the sum of the failure probabilities of the failure scenarios where the statistical dependence between the failure scenarios should be taken into account. Therefore, this computation requires additional system reliability analysis. As a result, the proposed approach takes a hierarchial framework where the failure probability of a structural member is computed using a lower-scale system reliability with the union set of time-sequential member failures and their statistical dependence, and the failure probability of the structural system is again computed using a higher-scale system reliability with the member failure probabilities obtained by the lower-scale system reliability and their statistical dependence. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide an accurate and stable reliability assessment of the control performance of the viscous damper system on the system failure. Also, the parametric study of damper capacity on the seismic performance has been performed to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed approach through the probabilistic assessment of the seismic performance improvement of the damper system.

본 논문에서는 대규모의 작업을 고성능으로 처리하기 위한 Many-Task Computing(MTC) 기술을 기존의 빅데이터 처리 플랫폼인 Hadoop에 적용하기 위한 MOHA(Many-Task Computing on Hadoop) 프레임워크에 대해 기술한다. 세부적으로는 MOHA의 기본 개념과 개발 동기, 분산 작업 큐에 기반한 PoC(Proof-of-Concept) 수행 결과를 제시하고 향후 연구 방향에 대해서 논의하고자 한다. MTC 응용은 각각의 태스크들이 요구하는 I/O 처리량은 상대적으로 많지 않지만, 동시에 대량의 태스크들을 고성능으로 처리해야하고 이들이 파일을 통해서 통신한다는 특징을 가지고 있다. 따라서 기존의 상대적으로 큰 데이터 블록 사이즈에 기반한 Hadoop 응용과는 또 다른 패턴의 데이터 집약형 워크로드라고 할 수 있다. 이러한 MTC 기술과 빅데이터 기술의 융합을 통해 멀티 응용 플랫폼으로 진화하고 있는 Hadoop 생태계에 신규 프레임워크로서 대규모 계산과학 응용을 실행할 수 있는 MOHA를 추가하여 기여할 수 있을 것이다.

Buckling-restrained braces are passive control devices with high level of energy dissipation ability. However, they suffer from low post-yield stiffness which makes them vulnerable to severe ground motions, especially near-field earthquakes. Among the several methods proposed to improve resistance of BRB frames, mega-brace configuration can be a solution to increase frame lateral strength and stiffness and improve distribution of forces to prevent large displacement in braces. Due to the limited number of research regarding the performance of such systems, the current paper aims to assess seismic performance of BRB frames with mega-bracing arrangement under near-field earthquakes via a detailed probabilistic framework. For this purpose, a group of multi-story mega-BRB frames were modelled by OpenSEES software platform. In the first part of the paper, simplified procedures including nonlinear pushover and Incremental Dynamic Analysis were conducted for performance evaluation. Two groups of near-fault seismic ground motions (Non-pulse and Pulse-like records) were considered for analyses to take into account the effects of record-to-record uncertainties, as well as forward directivity on the results. In the second part, seismic reliability analyses are conducted in the context of performance based earthquake engineering. Two widely-known EDP-based and IM-based probabilistic frameworks are employed to estimate collapse potential of the structures. Results show that all the structures can successfully tolerate near-field earthquakes with a high level of confidence level. Therefore, mega-bracing configuration can be an effective alternative to conventional BRB bracing to withstand near-field earthquakes.

This paper aims to propose a research framework of analyzing voting activities of a national assembly on the basis of member-level voting similarity and provides a case study in the $18^{th}$ national assembly in South Korea. First, we propose a bill contentiousness measure that gives a higher score to bills for which ayes and noes are more diversified in both conservative and progressive parties. Based on the bill contentiousness measure, the top 5%, 10%, and 20% bills were identified and used for further analyses. Moreover, we propose a member-level voting similarity measure that compensates for the lower frequency of noes, and evaluate the pair-wise voting similarities for all lawmakers. Then, voting similarity differences to the affiliated/non-affiliated parties were analyzed for the members in the two major parties according to some internal/external key factors. Finally, similar voting groups were identified and their affiliations were investigated based on the multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) and network analysis techniques. A case study on the $18^{th}$ national assembly of South Korea showed that the cohesion of the members in the 'Hanara' party becomes higher than that of the 'Minju' party as the bill contentiousness increases, whereas the number of elected, local constituency versus proportional representation, and the competition intensity in a local constituency were found to be partially influential to the voting activities of lawmakers. In addition, MDS and network analysis showed that there is a distinctive difference between two parties when all bills are analyzed, whereas the diversity of parties increases in the same group as the bill contentiousness increases.

메시지 처리기란 다양한 클라이언트로부터 오는 메시지를 받아 처리하는 서버 소프트웨어이며, 메시지의 종류에 따라 마감기한 이내에 처리해야 하는 실시간 메시지와 비실시간 메시지를 처리한다. 최근 마이크로프로세서 기술의 발전과 리눅스의 빠른 보급에 따라 메시지 처리기는 멀티코어 기반의 리눅스 서버에서 구현되고 있으며, 멀티코어 환경에서는 코어를 효율적으로 사용해야 시스템의 성능을 극대화 시킬 수 있다. 멀티코어를 효율적으로 사용하기 위한 다양한 실시간 스케줄러가 제안되어 있지만, 많은 연구들이 이론적 분석이나 시뮬레이션에 국한되어 있고, 리눅스를 위해 제안된 일부 알고리즘들도 커널을 수정하거나 특정 커널 버전에서만 동작된다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 멀티코어 환경에서 쓰레드를 사용자 수준에서 코어에 직접 매핑하는 리눅스 기반 메시지 처리기의 구조를 제안한다. 구현된 메시지 처리기에서는 기존의 RM(Rate Monotonic) 알고리즘을 수정하여 사용하였고, 특정 코어에 최대한 실시간 메시지를 몰아서 처리하도록 First fit 기반의 빈패킹(Bin-Packing) 알고리즘을 사용하여, 실시간 메시지의 위배율을 보장하면서 비실시간 메시지의 응답시간의 지연을 최소화하였다. 성능평가를 위하여 LITMUS 프레임 워크에서 제공하는 2가지 멀티코어 스케줄링 알고리즘(GSN-EDF, P-FP)을 이용하여 메시지 처리기를 구현한 후 제안된 시스템과 비교한 결과, 비실시간 메시지의 응답시간이 2가지 알고리즘 대비 최대 17~18%까지 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.
