It is a real-time system that the system correctness depends not only on the correctness of the logical result of the computation but also on the result delivery time. Real-time Operating System (RTOS) is a software that manages the time of a microprocessor to ensure that the most important code runs first so that it is a good building block to design the real-time system. The real-time performance is achieved by using real-time mechanisms through data communication and synchronization of inter-task communication (ITC) between tasks. Therefore, test on the response time of real-time mechanisms is a good measure to predict the performance of real-time systems. This paper aims to analysis the response characteristics of real-time mechanisms in kernel space for real-time embedded Linux: RTAI and Xenomai. The performance evaluations of real-time mechanism depending on the changes of task periods are conducted. Test metrics are jitter of periodic tasks and response time of real-time mechanisms including semaphore, real-time FIFO, Mailbox and Message queue. The periodicity of tasks is relatively consistent for Xenomai but RTAI reveals smaller jitter as an average result. As for real-time mechanisms, semaphore and message transfer mechanism of Xenomai has a superior response to estimate deterministic real-time task execution. But real-time FIFO in RTAI shows faster response. The results are promising to estimate deterministic real-time task execution in implementing real-time systems using real-time embedded Linux.

본 연구는 사회 감성(Social emotion)중 공감도 정량화 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 비접촉형 센싱 방법인 인체 미동 기술을 이용하였다. 참가자들은 공감한 그룹과 공감하지 않은 그룹으로 분류하였다. 웹캠(Web-cam)을 이용해 표정 Task를 수행하는 동안 영상의 상반신 데이터를 수집하였다. 수집 된 데이터는 각 주파수 성분 별로 0.5 Hz, 1 Hz, 3 Hz, 5 Hz, 15 Hz로 분류하여 추출하였다. 추출 된 데이터는 움직임의 평균과 변화량, 움직임의 동조현상을 비교하였다. 그 결과 공감한 그룹의 움직임 평균과 움직임의 변화정도가 낮게 나타났다. 공감하지 못한 그룹의 경우 평균 움직임과 변화정도가 큰 것으로 나타났으며 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 또한 공감한 그룹의 두 피험자의 경우 표정 Task를 수행하는 동안 움직임에 동조 현상이 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 두 사람 간에 공감이 형성 되었을 때 자연스럽게 집중을 하게 되고 그에 따라 움직임에 정도가 차이가 나는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 비접촉 센싱 방법을 통해 공감도 측정 가능성을 확인하는데 의의가 있다.

본 논문은 공유자원과 태스크 활용률을 고려한 저전력 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존에 공유자원을 고려한 논문에서는 선점 영역에서 최악실행시간만을 고려하였기 때문에 높은 전압을 계속 유지하여 전력 소비가 많고, 태스크들이 조기 종료할 경우 남는 시간을 활용하지 못하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 선점 영역에서는 태스크들이 조기 종료하는 경우 남는 시간을 이용하여 태스크 활용률을 갱신하고 다음 태스크에게 더 낮은 주파수와 전압을 인가하여 전력 소모를 줄이는 방법을 사용하고, 비 선점 영역에서는 최악 실행시간을 기준으로 한 최대 태스크 활용률을 이용하여 우선 순위 높은 태스크의 지연 시간을 최소화 시켜주는 방법을 제안한다. 실험 결과는 Arm8 테스트 벤치마크 데이터를 통해 기존의 알고리즘과 제안된 알고리즘의 전력 소모를 비교했을 때 6％의 파워 소모 감소를 보였다.

Backward compatibility is one of the key issues for radio equipment supporting IEEE 802.11, the typical wireless local area networks (WLANs) communication protocol. For a successful packet decoding with the backward compatibility, the frame format detection is a core precondition. This paper presents a novel frame format detection method based on a deep learning procedure for WLANs affiliated with IEEE 802.11. Considering that the detection performance of conventional methods is degraded mainly due to the poor performances in the symbol synchronization and/or channel estimation in low signal-to-noise-ratio environments, we propose a novel detection method based on convolutional neural network (CNN) that replaces the entire conventional detection procedures. The proposed deep learning network provides a robust detection directly from the receive data. Through extensive computer simulations performed in the multipath fading channel environments (modeled by Project IEEE 802.11 Task Group ac), the proposed method exhibits superb improvement in the frame format detection compared to the conventional method.

Mastering a musical instrument for an unskilled beginning learner is not an easy task. It requires playing every note correctly and maintaining the tempo accurately. Any music comes in two forms, a music score and it rendition into an audio music. The proposed method of assisting beginning music players in both aspects employs two popular pattern recognition methods for audio-visual analysis; they are support vector machine (SVM) for music score recognition and hidden Markov model (HMM) for audio music performance tracking. With proper synchronization of the two results, the proposed music learning assistant system can give useful feedback to self-training beginners.

The low power of ultra-wideband (UWB) signal makes the acquisition of UWB signal be a more challenging task. In this paper, we propose the method of high order template signal technique that reduces the synchronization time. Experimental results are presented to show the improvements of performance in the mean acquisition time (MAT) and the probability of detection. The performance compared with the serial search, the truly random search and the random permutation search. It is shown that over typical UWB multipath channels, a random permutation search scheme may yield lower MAT than serial search.

Through the AUTOSAR methodology, the embedded software shall become more flexible, reusable, maintainable than ever. However, it is not mentioned about specific timing constraints of software components in AUTOSAR. There are a few basic principles for mapping runnable entities. At this point, AUTOSAR software design with optimal scheduling method is one of the enabling technologies in vehicle embedded system. This paper presents an approach based on mapping runnable entities and task scheduling design method for EPS (Electric Power Steering) software components, based on AUTOSAR. In addition, the experimental results of concurrent simulation show that the proposed scheduling technique and timing synchronization in the software component design can achieve the improved torque ripple performance and it well suited for EPS application software.

Recently, FlexRay was developed to replace controller area network (CAN) protocol in chassis networking systems, to remedy the shortage of transmission capacity and unsatisfactory real-time transmission delay of conventional CAN. FlexRay network systems require correct synchronization and complex scheduling parameters. However, because platform configuration register (PCR) setting and message scheduling is complex and bothersome task, FlexRay is more difficult to implement in applications than CAN protocol. To assist a network designer for implementing FlexRay cluster, this paper presents an analysis of FlexRay platform configuration register and automatic generation program of PCR. To demonstrate the feasibility of the automatic generation program, we evaluated its performance using experimental testbed.

When two speakers read a text together, the produced speech has been shown to reduce a high degree of variability (e.g., pause duration and placement, and speech rate). This paper provides a quantitative analysis of speech rate variation exhibited in synchronous speech by examining the global and local patterns in two dialects of Mandarin Chinese (Taiwan and Shanghai). We analyzed the speech data in terms of mean speech rate and the reference of "Just Noticeable difference (JND)" within a subject and across subjects. Our findings show that speakers show lower and less variable speech rates when they read a text synchronously than when they read alone. This global pattern is observed consistently across speakers and dialects maintaining the unique local variation patterns of speech rate for each dialect. We conclude that paired speakers lower their speech rates and decrease the variability in order to ensure the synchrony of their speech.

This paper presents a method for building a real-time kernel of autonomous mobile robot control systems. Until now, most of robots have their own operation softwares dedicated only for their use. Sometimes, operation softwares were developed based on MS-DOS or other real -time kernel based on UNIX. However, MS-DOS has many restrictions for use as a robot operation system. Also, mix based real-time kernel has some Limitations for use with mobile robots. So, in this paper, we focus on building a real-time kernel based on Linux. The in this paper, the software modules of Task Management, Memory Management, Intertask Communication, and Synchronization are redesigned. To show the efficiency of the paper, it was applied to run Nomad Super Scout II avoiding obstacles detected by sonar sensor array.
