An aging Society solitary life old mans are increasing. The nurses have to visit old mans and must confirm their disease, because they do not act well. It is very difficult to take care old man, because the number of Nurses are small. This problem is solved by collection of data about condition of old mans from long distance. Data communication with Ethernet have benefit to collection of measurement of old man's condition. The Data storage system an long distance place are storaged data and after several day data was transmitted to the DB over the Ethernet. For Miniaturization of such system the system must be OS-less Embedded Ethernet Server system. Such system manages the file management system only with H/W. The Storage device is used SD-card. SD Card is small size and operates with small power. By using 512MB sd memory card, it is possible to storage during 5~6 years, 10 byte of temperature value per second. In this paper, we make a Embedded Ethernet Server using W3100A, Atmega128 MCU and data stroage device using SD-Card. This system operates with O/S-less Embedded Ethernet Server. We talk about file System, Storage and Ethernet. We explained about MCU Atmega128, Interface between LAN LSIand W3100A, Interface between W3100A and Phyceiver RTL8201, data I/O between MCU and SD-Card and File System. We shows the experiment device and result of monitoring.

Recently, small satellite industries are rapidly changing. Demand for high performance small satellites is increasing with the expansion of Earth Observation Satellite market. A next-generation small satellites require a higher resolution image storage capacity than before. However, there is a problem that the HW configuration of the existing small satellite image storage device could not meet these requirements. The conventional data storing system uses SDRAM to store image data taken from satellites. When SDRAM is used in small satellite platform of a next generation, there is a problem that the cost of physical space is eight times higher and satellite price is two times higher than NAND Flash. Using the same satellite hardware configuration for next-generation satellites will increase the satellite volume to meet hardware requirements. Additional cost is required for structural design, environmental testing, and satellite launch due to increasing volume. Therefore, in order to construct a low-cost, high-efficiency system. This paper shows a next-generation solid state recorder unit (SSRU) using MRAM and NAND Flash instead of SDRAM. As a result of this research, next generation small satellite retain a storage size and weight and improves the data storage space by 15 times and the storage speed by 4.5 times compare to conventional design. Also reduced energy consumption by 96% compared to SDRAM based storage devices.

The DBMS are widely used in embedded systems. The flash memory is used as a storage device of a embedded system. The optimizer of existing database system assumes that the storage device is disk. There is overhead to overwrite on flash memory unlike disk. The block of flash memory should be erased before write. Due to this reason, query optimization model based on disk does not adequate for flash-aware database. Especially embedded system should minimize the consumption of energy, but consumes more energy because of excessive erase operations. This paper proposes new energy based cost model of embedded database and shows the comparison between disk based cost model and energy based cost model.

A large part of the embedded system, compared with the PC, have low performance CPU and small memory. So the embedded operating system fits the condition of that hardware system. A Single Address Space (SAS) OS has the operating system and all applications in the single address space. The SAS architecture enhances sharing and co-operation, because addresses have a unique interpretation. Thus, pointer-based date structures can be directly communicated and shared between programs at any time, and can be stored directly on storage. The key point of the SAS OS on the embedded system is the low overhead inter-action between programs in process and usage. So SAS OS can be ported on the low performance CPU. In this paper, we design the SAS OS (named emNOS, Embedded Network Operating System) on the ARMTTDMI processor. Finally we show the benefits of the SAS OS on the embedded system.

In the present study, the stability of a compressed air energy storage cavern was numerically assessed by concrete plug shapes in order to investigate the optimal shape of concrete plug. The concrete plugs were cylindrical, embedded cylindrical, tapered, and wedged in shape. The stability assessment was carried out based on factor of safety through a strength reduction method and a volume ratio which refers to the ratio of the volume of yield regions in concrete induced by internal pressure to all concrete volume. The results from the present study indicated that the embedded cylindrical and taper shaped plugs were mechanically more stable than the cylindrical and wedge shaped plugs. However, from a comparison of stress distributions in rock mass between the embedded cylindrical and taper shaped plugs, the taper shaped plug was found to be more optimal than the embedded cylindrical plug, since the embedded cylindrical plug caused more stress concentration in the interface between the plug and rock mass than the taper shaped plug.

This paper designs a virtual USB drive for mobile devices which gives an illusion of a traditional USB flash memory drive and provides capacity-free storage space over IP network. The virtual USB drive operating with a S3C2410 hardware platform and embedded linux consists of USB device driver, an iSCSI-enabled network stack, and a seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module. For performance enhancement, it additionally provides a kernel-level seamless USB/iSCSI tunneling module and data sharing with symbol references among kernel modules. Experiments reveal that the kernel-level implementation can improve the I/O performance up to 8 percentage, as compared with the user-level implementation.

TABS (Thermally Activated Building System) has recently applied by huge commercial buildings, airports, and convention centers in Europe. TABS provides night-time thermal storage by heating or cooling. The embedded water-based heating and cooling system uses the high thermal inertia of concrete in the building construction, in which a heating or cooling pipe is embedded. The aim of this study is to analyze the thermal storage and thermal output of TABS applied with PCM (Phase Change Material). To achieve this, prototypes of TABS and the thermal properties of various PCMs were investigated. By using the simulation program Physibel Voltra 6.0 W, the thermal storage and thermal output were evaluated according to a heating and cooling operation schedule.

The objective of cache is to reduce I/O access of physical storage device so that user accesses their data faster. Traditionally, the most important metric to measure the performance of cache is hitratio. Thus, when the cache maintains hitratio high, it is regarded as a good cache replacement policy. However, the cache miss latency is different when the storages are heterogeneous. Though the cache hitratio is high, if the cache often misses with low performance disk, then the user experiences low performance. To address this problem we proposed eviction cost estimation based cache management. In our result, the eviction cost estimation based cache management has 10~30% throughput improvement compared with LRU cache management.

Edge Computing enables real-time big data processing by performing computing close to the physical location of the user or data source. However, in an edge computing environment, various situations that affect big data processing performance may occur depending on temporary service requirements or changes of physical resources in the field. In this paper, we proposed a BigCrawler system that dynamically configures the computing module and storage module according to the big data collection status and computing resource usage status in the edge computing environment. And the feature of big data processing workload according to the arrangement of computing module and storage module were analyzed.

There are two major type of flash memory products, namely, NAND-type and NOR-type flash memory. NOR-type flash memory is generally deployed as ROM BIOS code storage because if offers Byte I/O and fast read operation. However, NOR-type flash memory is more expensive than NAND-type flash memory in terms of the cost per byte ratio, and hence NAND type flash memory is more widely used as large data storage such as embedded Linux file systems. In this paper, we designed an efficient flash memory file system based an Embedded system and presented to make up for reduced to Swapping a weak System Performance to flash file system using NAND-type flash memory, then proposed Swapping algorithm insured to an Execution time. Based on Implementation and simulation studies, Then, We improved performance bases on NAND-type flash memory to the requirement of the embedded system.
