The purpose of this paper is to estimate economic benefits for the investment of railway transshipment system with non-powered turntable. The freight transport by railway can have decided advantages over trucks in terms of energy efficiency, emissions and cost for certain freight movements, just as transportation in the metropolitan region can have great advantages over driving truck. But the freight transport by truck should gain significant mobility benefits from a freight railway system. Thus, the railway transshipment system with non-powered turntable which is coupled railway transport advantages with load transport advantages has been developed and used in the european countries. This research has conducted the empirical analysis, by calculating the investment of railway transshipment system with non-powered turntable. The key factor for the economic benefits for the non-powered turntable is the utilizing throughputs. This demand is influenced by the throughput in the railway transshipment system. The main results of this paper are as follows: railway transshipment system with non-powered turntable does not have economic benefit for investment. We recommend that the plan for investment has to be considered the modification.

This paper presents the simulation design and analysis of Integrated Logistics System(ILS) which is operated by using the AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle). To maximize the operation performances of ILS with AGV, many parameters should be considered such as the number, velocity, and dispatching rule of AGV, part types, scheduling, and buffer sizes. We established the design of experiment in a way of Orthogonal Array in order to consider (1)maximizing the throughput; (2)maximizing the vehicle utilization; (3)minimizing the congestion; and (4)maximizing the Automated Storage and Retrieval System(AS/RS) utilization among various critical factors. Furthermore, we performed the optimization by using the simulation-based analysis and Evolution Strategy(ES). As a result, Orthogonal Array which is conducted far fewer than ES significantly saved not only the time but the same outcome when compared after validation test on the result from the two methods. Therefore, this approach ensures the confidence and provides better process for quick analysis by specifying exact experiment outcome even though it provides small number of experiment.

An advanced receiver which can manage inter-cell interference is required to cope with the explosively increasing mobile data traffic. 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has discussed network assisted interference cancellation and suppression (NAICS) to improve signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) and receiver performance by suppression or cancellation of interference signal from inter-cells. In this paper, we propose the advanced receiver based on soft decision to reduce the interference from neighbor cell in LTE-Advanced downlink system. The proposed receiver can suppress and cancel the interference by calculating the unbiased estimation value of interference signal using minimum mean square error (MMSE) or interference rejection combing (IRC) receiver. The interference signal is updated using soft information expressed by log-likelihood ratio (LLR). We perform the system level simulation based on 20MHz bandwidth of 3GPP LTE-Advanced downlink system. Simulation results show that the proposed receiver can improve SINR, throughput, and spectral efficiency of conventional system.

Recently, the object based storage devices systems(OSDs) have been actively researched. They are different from existing block based storage systems(BSDs) in terms of the storage unit. The storage unit of the OSDs is an object that includes the access methods, the attributes of data, the security information, and so on. The object has no size limit and no influence on the internal storage structures. Therefore, the OSDs improve the I/O throughput and the scalability. But the backup systems for the OSDs still use the existing backup techniques for the BSDs. As a result, they need much backup time and do not utilize the characteristics of the OSDs. In this paper, we design and implement a new object based backup system that utilizes the features of the OSDs. Our backup system significantly improves the backup time over existing backup systems because the raw objects are directly transferred to the backup devices in our system. It also restores the backup data much faster than the existing systems when system failures occur. In addition, it supports various types of backup and restore requests.

The control system architecture in switching systems have undergone numerous changes to provide various call processing capability needed in telecommunication services. During call processing in a distributed switching control environment, the delay effect due to communication among main processors or peripheral controllers is one of the limiting factors which affect the system performance. In this paper, we propose a performance model for an IPC(Inter Processor Communication) interface hardware block which is required on the ATM cell-based message processing in a distributed ATM exchange system, and analyze the primary causes which affect the processor performance through the simulation. Consequently, It can be shown that the local CPU of the several components(resources) related to the IPC scheme is a bottleneck factor in achieving the maximum system performance from the simulation results, such as the utilization of each processing component according to the change of the input message rate, and the queue length and processing delay according to input message rate. And we also give some useful results such as the maximum message processing capacity according to the change of the performance of local CPU, and the local CPU maximum throughput according to the change of average message length, which is applicable as a reference data for the improvement or expansion of the ATM control system.

Protein-protein interaction data obtained from high-throughput experiments includes high false positives. In this paper, we introduce a new protein-protein interaction reliability verification system. The proposed system integrates various biological features related with protein-protein interactions, and then selects the most relevant and informative features among them using a feature selection method. To assess the reliability of each protein-protein interaction data, the system construct a classifier that can distinguish true interacting protein pairs from noisy protein-protein interaction data based on the selected biological evidences using a classification technique. Since the performance of feature selection methods and classification techniques depends heavily upon characteristics of data, we performed rigorous comparative analysis of various feature selection methods and classification techniques to obtain optimal performance of our system. Experimental results show that the combination of feature selection method and classification algorithms provide very powerful tools in distinguishing true interacting protein pairs from noisy protein-protein interaction dataset. Also, we investigated the effects on performances of feature selection methods and classification techniques in the proposed protein interaction verification system.

Because there are so many spatio-temporal data in Moving Object Databases, a single disk system can not gain the fast response time and tota throughput. So it is needed to take a parallel processing system for the high effectiveness query process. In these existing parallel process-ing system. it does not consider characters of moving object data. Moving object data have to be thought about continuous report to the Moving Object Databases. So it is necessary think about the new Declustering System for the high performance system. In this paper, we propose the new Dechustering Policies of Moving objet data for high effectiveness query processing. At first, consider a spatial part of MBB(Minimum Bounding Box) then take a SD(SemiAllocation Disk) value. Second time, consider a SD value and time value which is node made at together as SDT-Proximity. And for more accuracy Declustering effect, consider a Load Balancing. Evaluation shows performance improvement of aver-age %15\%$ compare with Round-Robin method about $5\%\;and\;10\%$ query area. And performance improvement of average $6\%$ compare with Spatial Proximity method.

Recently, integrated railway safety monitoring and control system, which is a convergence system based on data distribution service for railway safety monitoring and control, is under development. It collects safety data of vehicle, signal, power and safety monitoring facilities in real time and adopts communication middleware based on distributed service for mass data processing. However, in the case of a server device used as an existing control server, the performance of the distributed service middleware can not be exhibited due to low hardware performance due to safety reasons. In the safety control system, 200,000 packets per second were set as the transmission target, but the performance test of the LAB was not satisfied. In this paper, we analyze the characteristics of railway data to improve the data collection performance of existing equipment and apply DDS-based streaming transmission method to the data model of signal facilities and vehicle facilities with large packet amount according to the analysis result. As a result, it was confirmed that the throughput was improved about 30.4 times when the hardware performance was the same. We plan to improve the data processing performance by applying it to real-time railway safety integrated monitoring and control system in the future.

As the business-to-customer (B2C) online market expands after the COVID-19 pandemic, the logistics industry has been constructing automated warehouses to handle multi-product, low-volume logistics. When constructing a logistics automation warehouse, it is crucial to validate that the facility's performance and operational logic are designed to meet the required throughput of the automated warehouse from the system design phase. This study proposes simulation-based validation and optimal alternatives for an H logistics automation warehouse in Iksan, Jeollabuk-do. Firstly, we focused on the box supply and packing processes, which are related to the release process, among the entire logistic processes. Then, we analyzed the potential bottlenecks in the target process and designed and implemented a discrete-event simulation model based on the analysis results. The simulation experiments showed that the facility parameters and operational logic identified in the system design phase did not satisfy the performance requirements of the entire automated warehouse. Additional experiments were conducted to suggest alternatives to meet the system performance requirements by changing the facility parameters and operational logic. We expect that the proposed study will be utilized in the future, not only in the system design phase but also in the system construction phase, for verification purposes to ensure that the construction proceeds according to the design.

As functions that support virtualization on their own in hardware are developed, user applications having various workloads are operating efficiently in the virtualization system. SR-IOV is a virtualization support function that takes direct access to PCI devices, thus giving a high I/O performance by minimizing the need for hypervisor or operating system interventions. With SR-IOV, network I/O acceleration can be realized in virtualization systems that have relatively long I/O paths compared to bare-metal systems and frequent context switches between the user area and kernel area. To take performance advantages of SR-IOV, network resource management policies that can derive optimal network performance when SR-IOV is applied to an instance such as a virtual machine(VM) or container are being actively studied.This paper evaluates and analyzes the network performance of SR-IOV implementing I/O acceleration is compared with Virtio in terms of 1) network delay, 2) network throughput, 3) network fairness, 4) performance interference, and 5) multi-network. The contributions of this paper are as follows. First, the network I/O process of Virtio and SR-IOV was clearly explained in the virtualization system, and second, the evaluation results of the network performance of Virtio and SR-IOV were analyzed based on various performance metrics. Third, the system overhead and the possibility of optimization for the SR-IOV network in a virtualization system with high VM density were experimentally confirmed. The experimental results and analysis of the paper are expected to be referenced in the network resource management policy for virtualization systems that operate network-intensive services such as smart factories, connected cars, deep learning inference models, and crowdsourcing.
