원격관리서버 기반의 홈네트워크 사용자 인증 및 접근제어 시스템 설계 및 구현

현재까지의 개발된 홈네트워크 사용자 인증 및 접근제어 기술은 각 가전의 홈네트워크 내에 보안 시스템이 위치하여, 홈구성원이 직접 보안 관리를 하는 형태가 대부분이다. 이런 형태는 비전문가인 홈구성원이 보안 관리를 함으로써, 보안상의 취약점이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높으며, 보안 시스템이 각 가정의 홈네트워크 내에 위치함으로써 시스템 구축 비용이 발생하며, 보안 시스템의 유지 보수와 관리에 많은 취약점이 발생할 수 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 가격, 서비스의 유연성에서 경쟁력이 있고, 네트워크를 보유한 개인의 전문적 지식과 작업을 요구하지 않고, 아파트 단지, 대형 건물과 같은 집단 주거 형태에 적합한 원격관리서버 기반의 홈네트워크 사용자 인증 및 접근제어 시스템을 설계하고 구현하였으며, 정보가전용 데모 시스템을 제작하여 시험하였다. 시험결과 인증과 접근제어 기능이 안정적으로 동작하였다. The user authentication and authorization in the current home network system almost works at home and home users, sometimes novice, should manage the system directly. This situation can make much of troubles, sometimes cause some suity problems. Moreover, the system costs high to build up, demands special user knowledge to maintain. In this paper, we propose the user authentication and authorization system based on remote management server to solve the problems, designed and implemented the system. To verify the system performance and function, we built a demo system for information appliances. The results of the test, the authentication and authorization function works well and reliably.

An integrated role-based approach for modeling, designing and implementing multi-agent systems

Abstract To facilitate the development of multi-agent systems and improve the reusability, robustness and feasibility of these systems, we have developed a role-based agent development framework (RADE). In this paper, we present an integrated approach for modeling, designing and implementing multi-agent systems using RADE. We describe the design of agents and motivations within such framework. We introduce a practical approach for modeling agent’s motivation and specifying agent’s goals, where a role-agent mapping mechanism is developed based on this design. Dynamic task allocation is achieved through the creation of role instances and the mapping from role instances to agents. We also introduce the RTÆMS language based on the extension of TÆMS to model the plan tree for each goal. This representation enables the reuse of general planning/scheduling and collaboration/cooperation mechanisms developed in multi-agent system research community. We have developed an automatic agent generation interface and also implemented a simple demo system in health care domain.

A demo system was realized and tested successfully.

Computer‐aided navigation for arthroscopic hip surgery using encoder linkages for position tracking

While arthroscopic surgery has many advantages over traditional surgery, this minimally invasive technique is not often applied to the hip joint. Two main reasons for this are the complexity of navigating within the joint and the difficulty of correctly placing portal incisions without damaging critical neurovascular structures. This paper proposes a computer-aided navigation system to address the challenges of arthroscopic hip surgery. Unlike conventional arthroscopic methods, our system uses a hyper-redundant encoder linkage to track surgical instruments, thus eliminating the occlusion and distortion problems associated with standard optical and electromagnetic tracking systems. The encoder linkage position information is used to generate a computer display of patient anatomy. The tracking error from the encoder linkage was evaluated to be within an acceptable range for this tracking prototype, and the new computer-aided approach to arthroscopic hip surgery was applied to a prototype system for concept verification. This navigation system for arthroscopic hip surgery can be used as a tool to address the challenges of joint navigation and portal placement in arthroscopic hip surgery by visually supplementing the limiting view from the arthroscope. The introduction of a tracking linkage shows significant potential as an alternative to other tracking systems. Positive feedback about the completed demo system was obtained from surgeons who perform arthroscopic procedures.

Spatially Referenced Educational Achievement Data Exploration: A Web-Based Interactive System Integration of GIS, PHP, and MySQL Technologies

Effective exploration of spatially referenced educational achievement data can help educational researchers and policy analysts speed up gaining valuable insight into datasets. This article illustrates a demo system developed in the National Office for Research on Measurement and Evaluation Systems (NORMES) for supporting Web-based interactive exploration of state-wide educational achievement data. The spatially referenced statistical summaries are presented in thematic maps that are generated using the Geographic Information System (GIS). Visual analysis of the thematic maps can help the educational policy analysts to “see” complex spatial relationships and to detect patterns easily. Linking among GIS maps allows the educators to interactively “drill down” through a hierarchy of geopolitical levels and to visualize statistical graphics and tables which are dynamically generated using Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) script language. Through building up the relationships between maps, graphs, and databases, this highly interactive Web-based system allows administrators to have an enhanced understanding of what is occurring in their schools, and allows the policy analysts to generate more accurate and effective policy decisions.

A hybrid method for relation extraction from biomedical literature

Over recent years, there has been a growing interest in extracting entities and relations from biomedical literature. There are a vast number of systems and approaches being proposed to extract biological relations, but none of them achieves satisfactory results. These methodologies are either parsing-based or pattern-based, which are not competent to handle the grammatical complexities of biomedical texts, or too complicated to be adapted. It is well known that appositive, coordinative propositions and such grammatical structures are extremely common in biomedical texts, particularly in full texts. However, these problems are still untouched for most of researchers. In this paper, we have proposed a new approach, which is hybrid with both shallow parsing and pattern matching, to extract relations between proteins from scientific papers of biomedical themes. In the method, appositive and coordinative structures are interpreted based on the shallow parsing analysis, with both syntactic and semantic constraints. Then long sentences are splitted into sub-ones, from which relations are extracted by a greedy pattern matching algorithm, along with automatically generated patterns. Our approach is experimented to extract protein-protein interactions from full biomedical texts, and has achieved an average F-score of 80% on individual verbs, and 66% on all verbs. With the help of shallow parsing analysis, pattern matching is improved remarkably. Compared with the traditional pattern matching algorithm, our approach achieves about 7% improvement of both precision and F-score. In contrast to other systems, our approach achieves performance comparable to the best. A demo system has been available at http://spies.cs.tsinghua.edu.cn.

Studies on the hepatic three-dimensional reconstruction and virtual surgery using the hepatic images of the digitized virtual Chinese human female number 1 database

To study digitized virtual hepatic three-dimensional reconstruction and virtual hepatic surgery. The whole series of hepatic images taken from the database of digitized Virtual Chinese Human Female Number 1 (VCH-F1) was employed to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) liver. First, studied some algorithms for registration of human liver tissue images, and then, segmented the regions of liver, vein, bile duct, and gallbladder from the images. Based on them, the 3D visualization human liver model was reconstructed. Finally, a 3D visualization demo system of liver was developed based on personal computer and Windows operation system. This demo system of liver provided a graphics user interface to rotate, scale the 3D liver to observe the 3D hepatic structure, and a virtual liver simulation system of resection with primary function. The study may be beneficial to the future research on digitized virtual hepatic and virtual hepatic surgery, and the 3D visualization demo system of liver may be beneficial to the research on the hepatic structure.

Preparing smartcard for the future: from passive to active

Smartcard is originally designed as a passive authentication device. Retaining this passive role will limit its potential and it will eventually be superceded by other technologies. Therefore, it is a must for smartcard to take the active role in the near future. In light of this, this paper presents a novel card-centric framework, in which the smartcard becomes the master whereas the card-connected terminal only a slave. The system prototype based on current smartcard technologies shows reasonable results, whereas another demo system that makes use of enhanced smartcard technologies provides a significant improvement in user perception and proves the feasibility of the framework in the future. Anticipating technology advancement so that all the performance requirements are met, applications will benefit from the framework in portability, data integrity, and chances for hardware-software customization.

The Cambridge University Multimedia Document Retrieval (CU-MDR) Demo System is a web-based application that allows the user to query a database of radio broadcasts that are available on the Internet. The audio from several radio stations is downloaded and transcribed automatically. This gives a collection of text and audio documents that can be searched by a user. The paper describes how speech recognition and information retrieval techniques are combined in the CU-MDR Demo System and shows how the user can interact with it.

Miniaturized micro-optical scanners

Optical beam scanners are critical components for airborne and space-based laser radar, on-machine-inspection systems, factory automation systems, and optical communication systems. We describe here a laser beam steering system based on dithering two complementary (positive and negative) microlens arrays. When the two microlens arrays are translated relative to one another in the plane parallel to their surfaces, the transmitted light beam is scanned in two directions. We have demonstrated scanning speeds up to 300 Hz with a pair of 6-mm-aperture microlens arrays designed for input from a HeNe laser. The output beam covers a discrete 16 x 16 spot scan pattern with about 3.6 mrad separation and only 400 μrad of beam divergence, in close agreement with design predictions. This demo system is relatively compact; less than 2 in. on a side. We also describe several near-term applications, some critical design trade-offs, and important fabrication and design issues.
