Portable embedded systems which mainly handle multimedia applications involve the problem that frequent accesses to fetch data from memory make running time increased. To cope with the problem, embedded processors have adopted data prefetching schemes. From a power point of view, which is a main performance indicator of embedded systems, this paper analyzed to investigate how data prefetching schemes influence on system's performance. To solve the problem, we proposed a power-consumption analysis model of a memory system with data prefetching scheme and measured the power dissipated during running application programs. As a result data prefetching schemes have application program's running time reduced but have system's power increased. Also we proposed a performance analysis model considering execution time and power consumption for embedded system with data prefetching schemes.

In this paper, we constructed Embedded web-server to be monitored and controlled for intelligent vehicle on the base of embedded system and Zigbee wireless communication. By interfacing main controller and embedded system with ECU including every information of vehicle, it is possible to monitor the cruising information of vehicle, and sensor signal added to inside and outside of vehicle is transferred to embedded system through Zigbee communication. Web-server is constructed using embedded system, that's why the access to vehicle is possible using PC or mobile instrument, and the real-time check and control of vehicle is possible as well.

All kinds of equipment which used an embedded system is developed, and these are used as to an actual life in developments regarding an embedded field in a lot of sections. Also, we can collect data from all kinds of sensors through wireless sensor networks, look by real time data collected could be brought if only through embedded system. In this paper we present a plan which improve the capabilities of embedded system only act as a gateway by installing embedded database in an embedded system for the sensing data management that was transmitted by radio from sensor nodes. In other words, by installing an embedded database to store and manage data by sensing data can be reduced the transmission frequency to communicate with a host and by performing the filtering program in embedded system and then by transmitting only valid data to the host can be increase the reliability of the analysis results based on data collected.

Many building foundations are embedded, however it is not easy to compact the backfill around the foundation especially for the deeply embedded ones. The soil condition around the embedded foundation may affect the seismic response of a building due to the weak contact between the soil and the foundation. In this paper, the response accelerations in the short-period range and at the period of 1 second (in the long-period range) for a seismic design spectrum specified in the IBC design code were compared considering perfect and poor backfills to investigate the effect of backfill compaction around the embedded foundation. An in-house finite-element software (P3DASS) which has the capability of horizontal pseudo-3D seismic analysis with linear soil layers was used to perform the seismic analyses of the structure-soil system with an embedded foundation. Seismic analyses were carried out with 7 bedrock earthquake records provided by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center (PEER), scaling the peak ground accelerations to 0.1 g. The results indicate that the poor backfill is not detrimental to the seismic response of a building, if the foundation is not embedded deeply in the soft soil. However, it is necessary to perform the seismic analysis for the structure-soil system embedded deeply in the soft soil to check the seismic resonance due to the soft soil layer beneath the foundation, and to compact the backfill as well as possible.

In this paper, we proposed and developed a fast and efficient real time face detection and recognition which can be run on embedded system instead of high performance desktop. In the face detection process, we detect a face by finding eye part which is one of the most salient facial features after applying various image processing methods, then in the face recognition, we finally recognize the face by comparing the current face with the prepared face database using a template matching algorithm. Also we optimized the algorithm in our system to be successfully used in the embedded system, and performed the face detection and recognition experiments on the embedded board to verify the performance. The developed method can be applied to automatic door, mobile computing environment and various robot.

Wireless LAN 외에도 무선 전송 기술은 종류는 다양하지만 비교적 인지도 및 사용성이 낮아 평범한 사용자들에게 친숙하지 않았고 따라서 호환성과 친밀감이 다소 결여된 면이 있다. 그러나 저전력을 소모해야 하는 일반적인 Embedded System 에 적용되는 무선 전송 기술로서 Wireless LAN 보다는 Bluetooth 와 같은 무선 통신 규약이 적용될 필요가 있다. 이에 대하여 Bluetooth 의 OPP(Object Push Profile)는 다른 Bluetooth Profile 에 비하여 가볍고 또한 사용이 어렵지 않으므로, 빠르게 진보하고 있는 무선 전송 기술의 적용 사례 중 하나로서 Bluetooth 의 OPP 를 적용한 Embedded System 을 구현하고, Bluetooth USB Dongle 와 Embedded System 간의 다리 역할을 하는 HCI(Host Controller Interface) layer 에서의 속도의 제약을 가져오는 요인을 개선하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제시하고자 한다.

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.

Recently, embedded systems role as control systems instead of mechanical control systems in many parts of vehicles. In cases that embedded systems are used controling the electric signal, it is important to secure the reliability of a software within embedded systems. In this paper, the test platform for securing the reliability and real-time characteristic of the embedded system that controls electric signal of All Wheel Steering Control System in a Bi-modal tram is proposed. The platform is built on a HIL (Hardware In the Loop) architecture. Through the HIL platform, various vehicle conditions, driver activities and environment conditions can be successfully tested without actual driving, hence improving the reliability of the embedded system for the All Wheel Steering Control System.
