이 글은 1999년 제49차 CIRP General Assembly에서 Key Note Paper로 발표되었던 논문을 전재한 것이다. CIRP는 생산공학분야의 가장 중요한 국제학술대회 중 하나로, Key Note Session에서는, 각 분야의 대표적 연구자들이 해당 분야의 현황과 추세를 매년 조사한 내용들이 발표된다. 지난해 생산시스템 분야에서 주목해야 할 주제로서 재구성형 생산 시스템(Reconfigurable manufacturing system ; RMS)이 선정되어, 미국, 일본, 유럽의 일곱명의 전문가에 의해 정리된 내용을, Michigan 대학의 Koren 교수가 취합, 편집 및 발표하였다. 원문 요약은 아래와 같다. 21세기 제조업체들은, 글로벌한 경쟁과 예측 불가능하게 급변하는 시장에 효과적으로 대응하여야 할 것이다. 경쟁력을 유지하기 위해서는, 효율적이면서도 시장변화에 조속히 대처 할 수 있는 새로운 생산시스템을 보유하여야 한다. 시장변화에 대한 효율적이며 신속한 대응을 위한 엔지니어링 기술로서 재구성 기술(reconfigurability)이 필요하다. 새로운 생산 방식으로서 재구성형 생산 시스템은, 재구성이 가능한 기계들과 제어 장치, 그리고 그것들을 체계적으로 설계하고 신속하게 초기 가동 관리(ramp-up)하기 위한 방법론으로 이루어진다.

This study presents a dual-band polarization-reconfigurable antenna that comprises a large square patch with a pair of corner-cut edges and two small square patches with a shorting via. Two PIN diodes are located between the large square patch and two small square patches. Depending on the bias state applied to the two PIN diodes, each small patch may be disconnected or connected to the large square patch. As a result, the proposed antenna can provide polarization reconfigurability between two orthogonal linear polarizations. Further, the proposed antenna operates at 2.51 GHz and 2.71 GHz. From the measured results, the proposed antenna shows a 10 dB bandwidth of 2.39% (2.49-2.55 GHz) and 2.58% (2.68-2.75 GHz). In this work, the frequency ratio can be easily controlled by changing the size of the small patch.

The necessity for services of emergency communication systems to be uninterrupted and reliable has brought forward strict requirements for express software upgrades of base stations. Based on reconfigurability technology, this paper presents a protocol reconfiguration scheme for emergency communication base stations. By introducing the concept of 'local safe state,' the proposed scheme could make the updating and replacement of the protocol software flexible and maintain interactions during the updating procedure to achieve seamless system upgrades. Further, taking TETRA protocol stack and VxWorks operating system as an example, specific processes and realization methods of reconfiguration are proposed in this paper, along with the measurements of the factors impacting on the system performance. Simulation results show that, compared with traditional technology, the method proposed significantly improves the system efficiency and does not interrupt system services.

This paper describes a digital convergence platform(DCP) which is implemented based on the MPEG-21 multimedia framework. DCP is a newly proposed solution in this research for the convergence service of future home multimedia environment. DCP is a common platform designed to have the feature of reconfigurability, by means of S/W. which supports to run diverse digital multimedia services. A distributed peer to peer service and transaction model is also a new feature realized in DCP using the MPEG-21 multimedia framework. A prototype DCP is implemented to verify its functions of multimedia service and transactions. The developed DCPs are networked with IP clustering storage systems for the distributed service of multimedia. Successful streaming services of the MPEG-2/4 video and audio are verified with the implemented test-bed system of DCP.

This paper presents the design of a palm-sized metamaterial antenna system having reconfigurable polarization as well as dual-band characteristics. Basically, three antennas are laid by 45 degrees in order and excited by a compact metamaterial dual-band power-divider of the in-phase outputs, and the radiated fields of the antennas are mixed to turn the vector of the polarization to another. The validity of the proposed method is verified by observing the in-phase outputs from the odd-numbered power-dividing device for both 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz, and checking the changeable polarization with the antenna gain over 2 dBi for all the polarizations.

It has been well known that customer' needs have much influence on the structure of supply chains. Uncertainty in customer demands forces companies' supply chains to be very flexible. When a company can not meet customers' changing needs, competitiveness in market places will be jeopardized. To survive in the competitive market places, structure of supply chains should be reconfigurable. In this paper, fractal concept is adopted to handle the reconfigurable issue. In a fractal-based SCM, structure of supply chains can be automatically reconfigured through the dynamic restructuring process with a fractal goal model. Goal in the system is divided into sub-goals, which are represented by a fractal goal model. The fractal goal model is a formal model which can be evaluated, changed, and scaled easily. Thus a well-designed fractal goal model is indispensable for a fractal-based SCM, and enhances the reconfigurability. Fractal structure for reconfigurable SCM is designed and presented. Fractal goal model is applied to SCM and an exemplary case is also briefly illustrated.

In this paper, we propose a neural network processor architecture with on-chip learning and with reconfigurability according to the data dependencies of the algorithm applied. For the neural network model applied, the proposed architecture can be configured into either SIMD or SRA(Systolic Ring Array) without my changing of on-chip configuration so as to obtain a high throughput. However, changing of system configuration can be controlled by user program. To process activation function, which needs amount of cycles to get its value, we design it by using PWL(Piece-Wise Linear) function approximation method. This unit has only single latency and the processing ability of non-linear function such as sigmoid gaussian function etc. And we verified the processing mechanism with EBP(Error Back-Propagation) model.

This paper proposes reconfigurable hardware structures for spreading and scrambling of multi-mode CDMA systems. The proposed reconfigurable structures supporting IS-95, cdma2000 and WCDMA, include a pseudo noise code generator, a channelization code generator and a control circuit for signal flow control. The proposed reconfigurable structures provide an efficient hardware usage for multi-mode CDMA systems. The synthesis results show the area reduction about 24.7% compared with the original code generators. The proposed structures can provide efficient reconfigurability and high speed operations for future SDR systems.

차세대 이동통신 서비스나 Beyond 4G 이동통신 서비스의 단말기는 유비쿼터스 정보화 사회의 도래에 발맞춰 기존의 single mode 시스템에서 탈피하여 3G LTE, Mobile WiMAX(WiBro), DMB, IEEE 802.11b/g/n 등의 다중 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기로 발전하는 추세이다. 또한 고속 데이터 전송을 위한 MIMO 및 스마트 안테나 등의 다중 접속 기능은 다중 밴드/다중 모드/다중 경로 처리 구조의 RF transceiver를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 융합 universal 단말기를 구현하기 위해서는 여러 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 "Reconfigurability and Convergence" RF transceiver가 필요하지만 현재의 집적 기술로는 0-수 GHz에 할당되어 있는 모든 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 단말기 구현에 제약사항이 많기 때문에 미국 및 유럽의 국외 연구기관과 기업에서는 2-3개의 선택적인 이동통신 서비스를 지원하는 RF transceiver를 개발하여 세계 시장에서 경쟁 준비를 하고 있다. 본 고에서는 차세대 이동통신 단말기의 RF transceiver 칩 셋 기술과 국내외 개발 동향에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

CGRA (Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Architecture) based multi-core architecture can be considered as a suitable solution for the fault-tolerant computing. However, there have been a few research projects based on fault-tolerant CGRA without exploiting the strengths of CGRA as well as their works are limited to single CGRA. Therefore, in this paper, we propose two approaches to enable exploiting the inherent redundancy and reconfigurability of the multi-CGRA for fault-recovery. One is a resilient inter-CGRA fabric that is ring-based sharing fabric (RSF) with minimal interconnection overhead. Another is a novel intra/inter-CGRA reconfiguration technique on RSF for maximizing utilization of the resources when faults occur. Experimental results show that the proposed approaches achieve up to 94% faulty recoverability with reducing area/delay/power by up to 15%/28.6%/31% when compared with completely connected fabric (CCF).
