Request oriented sensor networks have stricter requirements than conventional event-driven or periodic report models. Therefore, in this paper we propose a minimum energy data aggregation (MEDA), which meets the requirements for request oriented sensor networks by exploiting a low power real-time scheduler, on-demand time synchronization, variable response frame structure, and adaptive retransmission. In addition we introduce a test bed consisting of a number of MEDA prototypes, which support near real-time bidirectional sensor networks. The experimental results also demonstrate that the MEDA guarantees deterministic aggregation time, enables minimum energy operation, and provides a reliable data aggregation service.

Recently ubiquitous application services are developed plentifully using RFID techniques in the field of distribution and security industries. However, except these field the applications using RFID are not mature yet. In this study, we proposed a real-time context service model of the u-conference based on the real-time contextual information acquired from conference and exposition. With collection of real-time contextual information for u-conference, the model can provide a lot of information services on the state of session attendee, doorway control, affairs, user certification, presentation progress etc. For the verification of proposed real-time context service model of u-conference, we design and implement the conference progress state service included the state of session attendee, user certification and presentation progress etc. This service provides the presentation state information included the current presenter, the paper list, the number of session attendee, the schedule and place of each session using the collecting RFID tag and the related information.

In this paper, image detection and recognition algorithms are studied with respect to embedded carrier system. There are many suggested techniques to detect and recognize objects. But they have the propensity to need much calculation for high hit rate. Advanced and modified method needs to study for embedded systems that low power consumption and real time response are requested. The proposed methods were implemented using Intel(R) Open Source Computer Vision Library provided by Intel Corporation. And they run and tested on embedded system using a ARM920T processor by cross-compiling. They showed 1.6sec response time and 95% hit rate and supported the automated moving carrier system smoothly.

There are many file systems in various operating systems. Those are usually designed for server environments, where the common cases are usually 'multiple active users', 'great many small files' And they assume a big main memory to be used as buffer cache. So the existing file systems are not suitable for resource hungry embedded systems that process multimedia data streams. In this study, we designed and implemented a new file system which efficiently stores and retrieves multimedia data steams. The proposed file system has a very simple disk layout, which guarantees a quick disk initialization and file system recovery. And we introduced a new indexing-scheme, called the time-based indexing scheme, with the file system. With the indexing scheme, the file system maintains the relation between time and the location for all the multimedia streams. The scheme is useful in searching and playing the compressed multimedia streams by locating exact frame position with given time, resulting in reduction of CPU processing and power consumption. The proposed file system and its APIs utilizing the time-based indexing schemes were implemented firstly on a Linux environment, though it is operating system independent. In the performance evaluation on a real DVR system, which measured the execution time of multi-threaded reading and writing, we found the proposed file system is maximum 38.7% faster than EXT2 file system.

An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with real-time computing constraints. A traditional design process of embedded systems is the development of document-centric approach, and it is difficult to develop an embedded system efficiently because communication between teams or steps is not smooth. So the Model Based Design Process are applied to the development of embedded systems. This paper will compare the Model Based Design Process and the traditional design process, and introduce example of development of vehicle device applied the Model Based Design Process.

RTP는 VoD, AoD, VoIP와 같은 멀티미디어 서비스를 위해 실시간 데이타를 전송하기에 적합하도록 설계되어 있어, RTSP, H.323, SIP 등 실시간 데이타 전송 프로토콜로서 사용되고 있다. 내장형 시스템에서도 원활한 멀티미디어 서비스를 위해 내장형 시스템용 RTP 프로토콜 스택이 필요하지만 현재까지 이러한 RTP 프로토콜 스택은 전무한 상태이다. 본 논문은 내장형 시스템에 적합하도록 RTP 프로토콜 스택을 커널 수준에서 지원하는 embeddedRTP에 대하여 설명한다. EmbeddedRTP는 UDP 모듈에 포함되도록 설계되었기 때문에,'rcp/lp 서비스를 필요로 하는 애플리케이션은 기존과 같이 동작하고, RTP프로토콜 스택을 사용하는 애플리케이션은 embeddedRTP API를 이용하여 RTP 서비스를 받을 수 있다. EmbeddedRTP는 RTP 패킷이 도착했을 때, 패킷의 포트 번호와 세션 정보를 이용하여 세션별 패킷 버퍼에 저장한다. 애플리케이션과 embeddedRTP간의 통신은 시스템 콜과 시그널 메커니즘을 통해 이루어지며, embeddedRTP API를 제공함으로써 애플리케이션 개발이 용이하도록 했다. PDA 상에서 멀티미디어 스트리밍 서비스를 이용하여 embeddedRTP의 성능을 분석한 결과, 비교대상인 VCL RTP에 비해 코드사이즈는 약 58%정도 감소된 반면, 패킷 처리속도는 약 7.8배 빨라졌다.

신뢰성 있는 내장 실시간 시스템을 구축하기 위해서는 프로그램의 스케줄링 가능성 여부를 검증해야 한다 스케줄링 가능성 분석을 위해서 는 프로그램의 최악실행시간 정보가 필수적인 요소이다. 최악실행시간 분석은 두 단계로 나된다. 첫 번째 단계에서는 프로그램 언어 구문상의 흐름을 분석하고, 두 번째 단계에서는 수행되는 흐름 경로상의 하드웨어적인 요소를 고려하여 수행시간을 분석한다. 본 논문에서는 XScale 프로세서를 대상으로 하는 최악실행시간 통합 분석 도구인 WATER(WCET Analysis Tool for Embedded Real-time system)를 설계하고 구현한다. 상위 수준의 흐름 분석기와 하위 수준의 실행시간 분석기로 이루어진 WATER의 구조를 소개하고 소프트웨어의 실제 측정과 WATER의 분석 결과를 비교한다.

We propose a real time gas monitoring system for classifying various gases with different concentrations. Using thermal modulation of operating temperature of two sensors, we extract patterns of gases from the voltage across the load resistance. We adopt the relative resistance as a pre-processing method and an ART2 neural network as a pattern recognition method. The proposed method has been implemented in a real time embedded system with tin oxide gas sensors, TGS 2611, 2602 and an MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller in the test chamber.

To reduce time-to-market, more and more embedded system developers and system-on-chip designers rely on microprocessor-based design methodology. ARM processor has been a major player in this industry over the last 10 years. However, there are many restrictions on developing embedded software using ARM processor in the early design stage. For those who are not familiar with embedded software development environment or who cannot afford to have an expensive embedded hardware equipment, testing their software on a real ARM hardware platform is a challenging job. To overcome such a problem, we have designed VMA (Virtual ARM Machine), which offers easier testing and debugging environment to ARM based embedded system developers. Major benefits that can be achieved by utilizing a virtual ARM platform are (1) reducing development cost, (2) lowering the entrance barrier for embedded system novices, and (3) making it easier to test and debug embedded software designs. Unlike many other purely software-oriented ARM simulators which are independent of real hardware platforms, VMA is specifically targeted on SYS-Lab 5000 ARM hardware platform, (designed by Libertron, Inc.), which means that VMA imitates behaviors of embedded software as if the software is running on the target embedded hardware as closely as possible. This paper will describe how VMA is designed and how VMA can be used to reduce design time and cost.
