Abstract

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) application software has a characteristic that it controls a variety of sensor nodes based on the various target operating systems. Accordingly, many researches for efficient development of USN application software are being performed. In this paper, the attributes design technique to support attribute-based development of USN node software for multi-platform is proposed. In the proposed technique, the method to design attributes for modeling Platform Independent Model and Platform Specific Model is presented. When using the proposed technique, productivity of software development will be increased because node software design for multi-platform is easily performed by selecting values of attributes. Also, maintainability of software will be increased because node software is easily regenerated by changing attributes according to the changes of operating systems.

USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) 응용 소프트웨어는 다양한 대상 운영체제의 핵심모듈들을 기반으로, 다양한 종류의 센서 노드들을 유기적으로 제어하는 복잡한 특징을 가진다. 이에 따라, 현재 USN 응용 분야에서는 효율적으로 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 센서 네트워크 환경에서 하나의 모델로 부터 여러 플랫폼에 맞는 노드 소프트웨어를 효율적으로 개발하기 위한 속성 기반 개발을 지원하는 속성 설계 기법을 제시한다. 제시된 기법에서는 Platform Independent Model과 Platform Specific Model을 만들기 위한 속성을 설계하는 방법을 기술한다. 본 논문에서 제시하는 기법을 사용하면, 속성 값의 선택을 통하여 멀티 플랫폼을 위한 노드 소프트웨어를 손쉽게 디자인함으로써 소프트웨어 개발 생산성은 증대된다. 또한 운영체제의 변화에 따라 속성 변경을 통하여 노드 소프트웨어를 쉽게 재생성할 수 있으므로, 소프트웨어의 유지보수성이 향상된다.
