In this paper, a novel low-power VLSI system architecture was proposed. By exploiting software control of supply voltages, it simplifies hardware implementation, reduces power consumption efficiently, and avoids complicated interface circuits. The proposed architecture models clock frequency-supply voltage relationship by software modelling, enables individual control of supply voltages for all chips in the system, and restricts clock frequency to discrete levels of $f_{CLK}$, $f_{CLK}$2, $f_{CLK}$3... where $f_{CLK}$ is the master clock frequency A prototype system was implemented by modifying off-the-shelf microprocessor evaluation board and adding simple discrete devices such as level shifters and voltage switches. It was measured that the power consumption was reduced from 0.58W to 0.12W in the Prototype system. system.

Current research for software architecture views and models a software system as a set of components and connectors. Components are abstractions of system level computational entities. Connectors are abstractions of components interrelationships. In this paper, we focus on connectors for the JavaBeans-based systems that are built using object integration technologies like CORBA. We present connector model in JavaBeans-based system for object-oriented component integration. We start with a discussion of related work of software architecture research and object-oriented modeling that focuses on the description of component collaborations. We propose connectors as transferable abstractions of system level component interconnection and inter-operation.

With the proliferation of cloud computing infrastructures, service providers are able to deploy services in on-demand manner. Recently, microservice architecture has been attracting attention in order to maximize the efficiency of resource expansion in cloud infrastructure. Instead of implementing all of the service functions in a single software, service providers can easily and autonomously implement the necessary services by interconnecting the necessary services through an efficiently designed application programming interface (API). Moreover service developer can freely choice programming languages and define software, and functional structures to meet their functional requirements. In this paper, we propose virtual infrastructure manager service based on microservice architecture and evaluates its performance in scalability perspective.

Software are being studied to register and manage assets. And Methods for evaluating software systems have been based on subjective evaluation criteria. We propose an evaluation model for evaluating complex assets obtained from the complexity measurement of the preceding asset management system. We used scales to measure and provide logical complexity to measure the complexity of our architectural assets. And we used a method to evaluate whether it expresses attribute value of architecture asset. We have also built an evaluation model criterion for evaluating the usability of the asset data based on the ISO/IEC 25010 quality model characteristics of the SQuaRE Series. When the designers design the asset as a composite asset, the optional evaluation of the negative property that weights are assigned according to the characteristics of each asset is applied to secure the flexibility of the evaluation model.

The importance of avionics systems has increased to a significant level in modern aircraft development. Modern avionics system is a complex integrated system of state-of-art hardware and software technology. Specifying the avionics system architecture is the most important task throughout the avionics system design process. This paper reviews modern avionics system architectures and proposes an effective avionics architecture suitable for modern attack helicopters.

Application specific instruction-set processor (ASIP) is a suitable design choice for system designers who seek both flexibility to handle various applications in the domain together with the performance. Successful development of an ASIP, however, requires a software development kit (SDK) to be provided along with the processor. Synopsys Processor Designer is an ASIP development tool, which takes as input a set of files written in a high-level architecture description language called LISA (Language for Instruction Set Architecture), and generates SDK as well as RTL. Recently, they have added support for the generation of LLVM compiler backend, though some manual work is required. In this paper, we introduce some details in porting LLVM compiler to a custom processor architecture in Synopsys Processor Designer.

This paper is introduced about Design driven testing, for real time system, based on use case approaches, We focuses on a part of an extended use case approach for real time software development, which partitions design schema into layered design component architecture of functional components called "design component", We developed a use case action matrix to contain a collection of related scenarios each describing a specific variant of an executable sequence of use case action units, which reflected the behavioral properties of the real time system design, in this paper, we attempt to apply real time system with design driven testing with test plan metrics which is introduced which produces an ordering of this scenario set to enhance productivity and both promote and capitalize on test case reusability of existing scenarios.scenarios.

Autobike is insufficient of car navigation informations and high of accident dangerousness comparing to car. So if a system providing autobike driver's driving information and e-call function is developed using smart helmet consisting of collision perception sensor, rear camera, bluetooth communication module, MCU and HUD, It is very useful and can decrease of person's damage and handle expeditious traffic accident during autobike accident. In this paper, when this, "Providing system of autobike driver's information and e-call function", software is developed, a proper analysis and design method for practical affairs try to be presented due to showing software development analysis method, architecture of hardware block-diagram, flowchart and UI design.

The CCDs are widely used in astronomical observations either in direct imaging use or spectroscopic mode. However, the areas of available sensors are too small for large imaging format. One possibility to obtain large detection area is to assemble mosaics of CCD, and drive them simultaneously. Parallel driving of many CCDs together rules out the possibility of individual tuning; however, such optimisation is very important, when the ultimate low light level performance is required, particularly for new, or mixed devices. In this work, a new concept is explored for an entirely novel approach, where the drive waveforms are multiplexed and interleaved. This simultaneously reduces the number of leadout connections and permits individual optimisation efficiently. The digital controller can be designed within a single EPLD (Erasable Programmable Logic Device) chip produced by a CAD software package, where most of the digital controller circuits are integrated. This method can minimise the component. count., and improve the system efficiency greatly, based on earlier works by Han et a1. (1996, 1994). The system software has an open architecture to permit convenient modification by the user, to fit their specific purposes. Some variable system control parameters can be selected by a user with a wider range of choice. The digital controller design concept allows great flexibility of system parameters by the software, specifically for the compatibility to deal with any number of mixed CCDs, and in any format, within the practical limit.

There have been various recent methods proposed in detecting driver drowsiness (DD) to avert fatal accidents. This work proposes a hardware/software (HW/SW) co-design approach in implementation of a DD detection system adapted from an AdaBoost-based object detection algorithm with Haar-like features [1] to monitor driver's eye closure rate. In this work, critical functions of the DD detection algorithm is accelerated through custom hardware components in order to speed up processing, while the software component implements the overall control and logical operations to achieve the complete functionality required of the DD detection algorithm. The HW/SW architecture was implemented on an Altera DE2 board with a video daughter board. Performance of the proposed implementation was evaluated and benchmarked against some recent works.
