Most commercial software testing tools used in industry do not automatically generate test data even though many testing strategies have been proposed in academia. In this paper, we introduce a prototype software testing platform that we developed to automatically generate test data from tabular specifications. This method of documenting software specifications has been used successfully in industry to help produce reliable software. This platform can also be used to measure the effectiveness of new testing strategies.

In this paper, in order to provide with an inexpensive solution to efficient bio-manipulation under microscope, we propose a macro-micro tele-operation system based on body image embedding. It is known in neuroscience that we could feel our body image for the object which is not our own body in certain conditions. Our idea is to utilize the body image illusion for generating high immersive feelings in bio-manipulation under microscope, instead of aiming at the perfect transparency, the conventional target of tele-manipulation system, which is difficult to attain. Our proposed system has two additional components as well as the conventional system where micro manipulators hydraulically connected to joysticks or dials handled by an operator are used for fine bio-manipulation under a microscope. The one component is for the body position/orientation consistency between proprioception and vision. In this component, due to appropriate use of a camera for a microscope, a visual display, mirrors and tiny dummy hands, an operator can see the magnified visual image of the tiny dummy hands similar to his/her own hands in shape at the position and orientation where he/she feel them proprioceptively. The other component is for the contact consistency between touch and vision. In this component, the contact between a tool grasped by an operator's hands and a manipulated object observed by eyes should coincide to the contact felt by his/her hand skin. To do this, haptic stimulators such as piezo actuators are activated at the timing of contact which is detected, for example, by the vision processing from the microscopic images.
One of the engineers concern in designing bridges and structures under moving load is the uniformity of stress distribution. In this paper the analysis of a variable cross-section beam subjected to a moving concentrat...

Smith predictor is a well-known method for compensating time delay in control systems. Therefore, it has been applied to many systems with time delay so far. However, delay time should be estimated precisely in this method. So, if time delay is fluctuant and unpredictable, like the communication delay over the Internet, performance of Smith predictor deteriorates. This paper proposes "Communication Disturbance Observer". It regards the error caused by time delay as disturbance torque (or acceleration), then it can observe and compensate the error. Furthermore, it doesn't need to estimate the value of delay time; therefore it can be applied to control systems with fluctuant and unpredictable time delay. It can be said that control system with "Communication Disturbance Observer" is robust to time delay and fluctuation of that. Effectiveness and robustness of proposed method is shown by result of simulation and experiment. In experiment, master-slave manipulator was used over the Internet. We were able to get the sense of touch from the environment of remote site.
