This paper describes embedded processor architecture design which is applicable to multimedia in mobile platform The main description is based on basic processor architecture and consideration about energy efficiency when used in mobile platform To design processor data path architecture (pipeline, branch prediction, multiple issue superscalar, function unit number) which is optimal to multimedia application and cache hierarchy and its structure, we have nut the simulation with variant architecture using MPEG4 test bench as multimedia application. We analyzed energy efficiency of architecture to check if it is applicable to mobile platform and decide basic processor architecture based on analysis result. The suggested basic processor architecture not only can be applied to mobile platform but also can be applied to basic processor architecture of configurable processor which is designed through automatic design environment.

Crypto-systems have difficulties in designing hardware due to the various standards. We propose a programmable and configurable architecture for cryptography coprocessors to accommodate various crypto-systems. The proposed architecture has a 32 bit I/O interface and internal bus width, and consists of a programmable finite field arithmetic unit, an input/output unit, a register file, and a control unit. The crypto-system is determined by the micro-codes in memory of the control unit, and is configured by programming the micro-codes. The coprocessor has a modular structure so that the arithmetic unit can be replaced if a substitute has an appropriate 32 bit I/O interface. It can be used in many crypto-systems by re-programming the micro-codes for corresponding crypto-system or by replacing operation units. We implement an elliptic curve crypto-processor using the proposed architecture and compare it with other crypto-processors

The Internet is evolving from best-effort service toward an integrated or differentiated service framework with quality-of-service (QoS) assurances that are required for new multimedia service applications. Given this increasing demand for high bandwidth Internet with QoS assurances in the coming years, an IP/MPLS-based control plane combined. with a wavelength-routed dense-wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical network is seen as a very promising approach for the realization of future re-configurable transport networks. This paper proposes a differentiated lambda establishment process for QoS guarantees based on the differentiated MPLS service (DMS) model. According to the QoS characteristics of wavelength in optical links and the type of used Optical Cross-Connect (OXC) nodes in DWDM next generation optical Internet backbone network, a differentiated wavelength assignment strategy that considers QoS recovery capability is also suggested.

With the rapid development of wired or wireless Internet, various kinds of resource constrained mobile devices, such as cellular phone, PDA, homepad, smart phone, handhold PC, and so on, have been emerging into personal or commercial usages. Most software to be embedded into those devices has been forced to have the characteristic of flexibility rather than the fixedness which was an inherent property of embedded system. It means that recent technologies require the flexible embedding into the variety of resource constrained mobile devices. A document processor for XML which has been positioned as a standard mark-up language for information representation on the Web, is one of the essential software to be embedded into those devices for browsing the information. In this paper, a framework for configurable XML processor called EmXJ is designed and implemented for flexible embedding into various types of resource constrained mobile devices, and its advantages are compared to conventional XML processors.

This study presents a new architecture for a field programmable analog array (FPAA) for use in low-frequency applications, and a generalized circuit realization method for the implementation of nth-order elliptic filters. The proposed designs of both the FPAA and elliptic filters are based on the operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) used in implementing OTA-C filters for biopotential signal processing. The proposed FPAA architecture has a flexible, expandable structure with direct connections between configurable analog blocks (CABs) that eliminates the use of switches. The generalized elliptic filter circuit realization provides a simplified, direct synthetic method for an OTA-C symmetric balanced structure for even/odd-nth-order low-pass filters (LPFs) and notch filters with minimum number of components, using grounded capacitors. The filters are mapped on the FPAA, and both architectures are validated with simulations in LTspice using 90-nm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Both proposed FPAA and filters generalized synthetic method achieve simple, flexible, low-power designs for implementation of biopotential signal processing systems.

The dependence of numerous systems on electronic devices is causing rapidly increasing concern over fault tolerance because of safety issues of safety critical system. As an example, a vehicle with electronics-controlled system such as x-by-wire systems, which are replacing rigid mechanical components with dynamically configurable electronic elements, should be fault￢tolerant because a devastating failure could arise without warning. Fault-tolerant systems have been studied in detail, mainly in the field of aeronautics. As an alternative to solve these problems, this paper presents the fuzzy hybrid redundancy system that can remove most erroneous faults with fuzzy fault detection algorithm. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the fuzzy hybrid redundancy outperforms with general voting method.

In this paper, a $320{\times}240$ pixel, 80 frame/s CMOS image sensor with a low power dual correlated double sampling (CDS) scheme is presented. A novel 8-bit hold-and-go counter in each column is proposed to obtain 10-bit resolution. Furthermore, dual CDS and a configurable counter scheme are also discussed to realize efficient power reduction. With these techniques, the digital counter consumes at least 43% and at most 61% less power compared with the column-counters type, and the frame rate is approximately 40% faster than the double memory type due to a partial pipeline structure without additional memories. The prototype sensor was fabricated in a Samsung $0.13{\mu}m$ 1P4M CMOS process and used a 4T APS with a pixel pitch of $2.25{\mu}m$. The measured column fixed pattern noise (FPN) is 0.10 LSB.

In this paper, a configurable DC distributiong system is being proposed considering national power systems conditions and a comparative analysis of the transient response of the contingencies is performed with the conventional AC systems. DC systems are evaluated as a promising next-generation distribution system that provides reliable operation through high efficiency of energy use and converter control. This paper discusses about the required elements for the national DC distribution system and has analysed the fault characteristics of the AC and DC distribution systems using PSCAD/EMTDC. According to the simulation results, the DC system has improved response, due to the DC/DC converter's charging/discharging characteristics, in terms of voltage and power system characteristics when compared to AC systems.

분산 시뮬레이션 환경에서 모의되는 개체의 재사용성과 개체 간 상호운용성을 높이기 위해서 Modeling & Simulation 기법이 적용된 M&S Framework이 제안되었다. 제안된 프레임워크의 미들웨어 통신을 담당하는 시뮬레이션 네트워크 관리자는 계층적 아키텍처 스타일을 적용함으로써 관리성(maintainability), 재사용성(reusability), 확장성(scalability) 등의 요구사항을 지원하도록 설계되었다. 하지만 프레임워크를 구현한 다양한 모의 개체의 생성은 메시지의 인터페이스 코드에 대한 중복을 증가시키고, 인터페이스 변경 요구사항에 대해서 시뮬레이션 네트워크 관리자가 적용된 모든 모의기의 변경 또한 불가피해 진다. 본 논문에서는 인터페이스에 대한 코드의 중복을 없애고, 인터페이스의 변경에 대하여 유연성을 가질 수 있도록 메타프로그래밍 기법을 적용한 분산객체 통신 모듈을 제안한다. 또한 이 기법을 적용할 경우 구현 문제와 관련된 이슈와 장 단점을 기술한다.
