The operating system for IoT should have a small memory footprint and provide low power state, real-time, multitasking, various network protocols, and security. Although the Zephyr kernel, an operating system for IoT, released by the Linux Foundation in February 2016, has these features but errors generated by the user code can generate fatal problems in the system because the Zephyr kernel adopts a single-space method that both the user code and kernel code execute in the same space. In this research, we propose a space separation method, which separates kernel space and user space, to solve this problem. The space separation that we propose consists of three modifications in Zephyr kernel. The first is the code separation that kernel code and user code execute in each space while using different stacks. The second is the kernel space protection that generates an exception by using the MPU (Memory Protection Unit) when the user code accesses the kernel space. The third is the SVC based system call that executes the system call using the SVC instruction that generates the exception. In this research, we implemented the space separation in Zephyr v1.8.0 and evaluated safety through abnormal execution of the user code. As the result, the kernel was not crashed by the errors generated by the user code and was normally executed.

There has been recent interest in intelligent vehicle technologies, such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADASs) or in-vehicle information systems (IVISs) that offer a significant enhancement of safety and convenience to drivers and passengers. However, unsuitable design of HMI (Human Machine Interface) must increase driver distraction and workload, which in turn increase the chance of traffic accidents. Distraction in particular often occurs under a heavy driving workload due to multitasking with various electronic devices like a cell phone or a navigation system while driving. According to the 2005 road traffic accidents in Korea report published by the ROad Traffic Authority (ROTA), more than 60% of the traffic accidents are related to driver error caused by distraction. This paper suggests the structure of vehicle environment for real-time driving behavior monitoring system while driving which is can be used the driver workload management systems (DWMS). On-road experiment results showed the feasibility of the suggested vehicle environment for driving behavior monitoring system.

Recently, wave propagation imaging based on laser scanning-generated elastic waves has been intensively used for nondestructive inspection. However, the proficiency of the conventional software based system reduces when the scan area is large since the processing time increases significantly due to unavoidable processor multitasking, where computing resources are shared with multiple processes. Hence, the field programmable gate array (FPGA) was introduced for a wave propagation imaging method in order to obtain extreme processing time reduction. An FPGA board was used for the design, implementing post-processing ultrasonic wave propagation imaging (UWPI). The results were compared with the conventional system and considerable improvement was observed, with at least 78% (scanning of $100{\times}100mm^2$ with 0.5 mm interval) to 87.5% (scanning of $200{\times}200mm^2$ with 0.5 mm interval) less processing time, strengthening the claim for the research. This new concept to implement FPGA technology into the UPI system will act as a break-through technology for full-scale automatic inspection.

차세대 디지털 방송 기술인 DMB(Digital Multimedia Broadcasting) 지상파서비스가 세계최초로 우리나라에서 시작되었다. 현재 DMB 서비스는 디지털 기기의 다양한 기능들과 더불어 '디지털 컨버전스'를 주도하고 있고, 새 기술을 통한 서비스는 디지털 기기에 대한 사용자의 경험을 한층 풍부하게 해주고 있다. 또한 이러한 제품들은 다양한 기능에 대해서 멀티태스킹을 지원하기 때문에, 사용성, 조작방법 등 여러 측면에서 과거의 제품들과 상당히 많은 차이를 보여준다. 본 논문은 다양한 기능이 통합되고, 멀티태스킹이 되는 제품을 설계하는데 있어 감각양식(Modality) 측면에서 사용자들에게 더 나은 경험을 제공할 수 있도록 하는 방법을 제안한다. 지금까지 모달리티와 인터럽션(Interruption)에 대한 연구는 다중 자원 이론(Multiple resource theory)을 바탕으로 연속적인 과업(Task)를 수행함에 있어서 과업의 감각양식이 충돌할 경우, 사용자에게 인지적인 부담을 준다는 측면에서 이루어져 왔다. 그러나, 본 논문에서는 태스크를 수행함에 있어 멀티태스킹의 지원 여부에 따라서 과업의 감각양식이 다양한 순서를 가지고 사용자에게 인터럽션을 일으킬 때, 사용자의 태스크 수행 능력이나 사용자 만족도에 어떻게 영향을 주는지 알아보고자 한다.

This paper describes the fault diagnosis method to order to construct CIM in complex system with hierarchical structure similar to human body structure. Complex system is divided into unit, item and component. For diagnosing this hierarchical complex system, it is necessary to implement a special neural network. Fault diagnosis system can forecast faults in a system and decide from the signal information of current machine state. Comparing with other diagnosis system for a single fault, the developed system deals with multiple fault diagnosis, comprising hierarchical neural network (HNN). HNN consists of four level neural network, i.e. first is fault symptom classification and second fault diagnosis for item, third is symptom classification and forth fault diagnosis for component. UNIX IPC is used for implementing HNN with multitasking and message transfer between processes in SUN workstation with X-Windows (Motif). We tested HNN at four units, seven items per unit, seven components per item in a complex system. Each one neural network represents a separate process in UNIX operating system, information exchanging and cooperating between each neural network was done by message queue.

Digital convergence, defined as the creative fusion of once-independent technologies and service, is getting more attention recently. Interruptions among internal functions happen frequently in digital convergence products because many functions that were in separate products are merged into a single product. Multi-tasking and multi-modality are two distinctive features of interruption in digital convergence products, but their impacts to the user have not been investigated yet. This study conducted a controlled experiment to investigate the impacts of multi-tasking and multi-modality on the subjective satisfaction and objective performance of digital convergent products. The study results indicate that multi-tasking and multi-modality have substantial effects individually as well as together. The paper ends with practical and theoretical implications of study results as well as research limits and future research.

현재까지 모바일 게임 사용자 연구는 개별 콘텐츠의 재미, 중독성, 편의성과 같은 1차적 정서를 분석하는 차원에 머물러 있다. 그러나 스마트폰의 확산 이후 사용자들의 멀티태스킹이 보편화되면서 사용자의 게임 콘텐츠 경험은 복잡해지고 있다. 따라서 다양한 행위를 동시에 수행하는 사용자의 관점에서 모바일 게임에 대한 보다 깊이 있는 분석이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구는 집단 감성의 관점에서 모바일 게임 사용자들의 연결된 심성 모형을 포착하고자 했다. 이를 위해 사용자들의 비의도성과 의도성을 동시에 포착할 수 있는 소셜 데이터 분석을 실시했으며, 그 결과로 서비스의 교차 소비, 정보 추천방식의 다양화, 관계 기반의 과제 경험을 주요 이슈로 제시했다.

The purpose of this study was to empirically describe the everyday life of middle-aged adults in terms of their time-use activities. From the original '2004 Time dairy' Data, developed by the Korean National Statistical Office (KNOS), 17,684 respondents aged between 35-59 were selected. In order to categorize their activity patterns, work/labour, domestic labour, and spare leisure time were classified according to the action classification system. As a result, four dominant types were found: namely work-leisure, work-oriented, family-oriented, and leisure-oriented activities. Results of multinomial logistic analysis revealed that gender, age, socioeconomic status, job characteristic, and family structure were the major determinants on time-use. Compared with work-leisure, young middle aged women holding a part-time job with less income tended to be involved in a family-centered time use. Dual earners with lower SES status were likely to have work-oriented time schedules. Older men with relatively lower income were more likely to be involved in leisure-oriented activities rather than work-leisure activities. Multitasking behavior was a significant variable in explaining the four different types of time-use. Work-oriented group showed the highest level of time pressure as well as fatigue. Group differences in these measures, however, was not as large as expected.

RNA helicases DDX5 and DDX17 are multitasking proteins that regulate gene expression in different biological contexts through diverse activities. Special attention has long been paid to their function as coregulators of transcription factors, providing insight about their functional association with a number of chromatin modifiers and remodelers. However, to date, the variety of described mechanisms has made it difficult to understand precisely how these proteins work at the molecular level, and the contribution of their ATPase domain to these mechanisms remains unclear as well. In light of their association with long noncoding RNAs that are key epigenetic regulators, an emerging view is that DDX5 and DDX17 may act through modulating the activity of various ribonucleoprotein complexes that could ensure their targeting to specific chromatin loci. This review will comprehensively describe the current knowledge on these different mechanisms. We will also discuss the potential roles of DDX5 and DDX17 on the 3D chromatin organization and how these could impact gene expression at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels.
