Although flash disks are being used widely instead of hard disks, it is difficult to optimize for effective utilization of flash disks because overwrite in place is impossible and the power consumption and time required for read, write, and erase operations are all different. One of these optimization issues is a cache management strategy to minimize write operations. The cache operates at two levels: an operating system equipped with flash disks and a translation layer within the flash disk. Most studies deal with the operating system-level cache strategy. In this study, we implement and analyse the DPW-LRU algorithm which is one of the recently proposed operating system cache replacement algorithms to apply to FTL, and grope with some improvements. As a result of the experiment, the DPW-LRU algorithm maintained superiority even in the FTL environment, and showed better performance with a slight improvement.

본 논문은 uC/OS-II 실시간 커널이 관리하는 주 자원인 마이크로프로세서와 메모리를 가상화하여 하나의 마이크로프로세서 상에서 다수의 uC/OS-II 실시간 커널을 수행시키는 하이퍼바이저를 구현하였다. 마이크로프로세서는 uC/OS-II 실시간 커널이 처리하는 인터럽트들을 제어하는 알고리즘을 적용하여 가상화하고 메모리는 물리적 메모리를 파티션하는 방식을 사용하여 가상화한다. 개발된 하이퍼바이저 프로그램은 타이머 인터럽트와 소프트웨어 인터럽트를 가상화하는 인터럽트 제어 루틴들, 하이퍼바이저와 각 커널을 정상 수행 상태까지 유도하는 코드, 그리고 가상화된 두 커널 사이에 데이터 전달을 제공하는 API로 구성되어 있다. 기존의 uC/OS-II 실시간 커널은 개발한 하이퍼바이저 상에서 수행되기 위하여 소스 코드 레벨에서 수정이 필요하다. 구현된 하이퍼바이저는 Jupiter 32비트 EISC 마이크로프로세서 상에서 실시간 동작 시험 및 독립 수행 환경 시험을 거친 결과 가상화 커널이 정상적으로 수행되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과는 다수의 내장형 마이크로프로세서가 요구되는 응용 분야에 활용될 경우 하드웨어 가격 절감효과를 얻을 수 있으며 내장형 시스템의 부피, 무게 및 전력 소비량을 줄이는 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

The ubiquitous flexible operating system (UbiFOS) is a real-time operating system designed for cost-conscious, low-power, small to medium-sized embedded systems such as cellular phones, MP3 players, and wearable computers. It offers efficient real-time operating system services like multi-task scheduling, memory management, inter-task communication and synchronization, and timers while keeping the kernel size to just a few to tens of kilobytes. For flexibility, UbiFOS uses various task scheduling policies such as cyclic time-slice (round-robin), priority-based preemption with round-robin, priority-based preemptive, and bitmap. When there are less than 64 tasks, bitmap scheduling is the best policy. The scheduling overhead is under 9 ${\mu}s$ on the ARM926EJ processor. UbiFOS also provides the flexibility for user to select from several inter-task communication techniques according to their applications. We ported UbiFOS on the ARM9-based DVD player (20 kB), the Calm16-based MP3 player (under 7 kB), and the ATmega128-based ubiquitous sensor node (under 6 kB). Also, we adopted the dynamic power management (DPM) scheme. Comparative experimental results show that UbiFOS could save energy up to 30% using DPM.

Most of the existing studies on functional safety testing for the railway signaling system software have focused on verifying the functional safety through the monitoring of internal memory embedded railway signaling system. However, the railway signaling system is one of the typical embedded control system in the railway sector, and the embedded software has a characteristic of generating an appropriate outputs through the combination of internal processing in consideration of the current internal status and external input. Therefore, the test approach of using the interface communication channel can be effective way for the functional testing for railway signaling system software in consideration of these characteristic. Since a communication interface specification of the railway signal system has a the properties of the sequence input and output signals, test-case for software testing is the most effective methodology by MSC (Message Sequence Chart) language, one of the graphic language. The MSC-based test-case generating methodology for signaling system software was proposed in this paper.

In case of environment requiring safety such as human body and requiring flexible shape, a conventional mechanical actuator system does not satisfy requirement. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a research of various smart material such as EAP (Electro Active Polymer), EAC (Electro Active Ceramic) and SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) is in progress. Recently, the highest preferring material among various smart material is EP (Electrostictive Polymer), because it has very fast response time, poerful force and large displacement. The previous researches have been studied properties of polymer and simple control, but present researches are studied a polymer actuator. An EP (Electostrictive Polymer) actuator has properties which change variably as shape and environmental condition. Therefore, in order to coincide with a user's purpose, it is important not only to decide a shape of actuator and mechanical design but also to investigate a efficient controller. In this paper, we constructed the control logic with an adaptive fuvy algorithm which depends on the physical properties of EP that has a dielectric constant depending on time.

Smart sensors and actuators have recently been developed. In this study, first, small-diameter fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors developed by the author, whose cladding and polyimide coating diameters were 40 and $52{\mu}m$, respectively, were embedded inside a laminate without resin-rich regions around sensors and the deterioration of mechanical properties of the composite laminate. The small-diameter FBG sensor was embedded in $0^{\circ}$ ply of a CFRP laminate for the detection of transverse cracks in $90^{\circ}$ ply of the laminate. The reflection spectra from the FBG sensor were measured at various tensile stresses. The spectrum became broad and had some peaks with an increase of the transverse crack density. Furthermore, the theoretical calculation reproduced the change in the spectrum very well. These results show that the small-diameter FBG sensors have a potential to detect the occurrence of transverse cracks through the change in the form of the spectrum, and to evaluate the transverse crack density quantitatively by the spectrum width. On the other hand, shape memory alloy (SMA) films were used to suppress the initiation and growth of transverse cracks in CFRP laminates. Pre-strained SMA films were embedded between laminas in CFRP laminates and then heated to introduce the recovery stress in SMA films and compressive stresses in the weakest plies ($90^{\circ}$ ply). The effects of recovery stresses are demonstrated in the experiments and well predicted using the shear-lag analysis and the nonlinear constitutive equation of SMA films.

Soft morphing robotics making use of smart material and based on biomimetic principles are capable of continuous locomotion in harmony with its environment. Since these robots do not use traditional mechanical components, they can be built to be light weight and capable of a diverse range of locomotion. This paper illustrates a flexible smart phone robot made of smart soft composite (SSC) with inchworm-like locomotion capable of two-way linear motion. Since rigid components are embedded within the robot, bending actuators with embedded rigid segments were investigated in order to obtain the maximum bending curvature. To verify the results, a simple mechanical model of this actuator was built and compared with experimental data. After that, the flexible robot was implemented as part of a smart phone robot where the rigid components of the phone were embedded within the matrix. Then, experiments were conducted to test the smart phone robot actuation force under different deflections to verify its load carrying capability. After that, the communication between the smart phone and robot controller was implemented and a corresponding phone application was developed. The locomotion of the smart phone robot actuated through an independent controller was also tested.

H.264 영상압축표준은 우수한 부호화 성능 때문에 현재 DMB와 IPTV 등에 다양한 응용에 활용되고 있으나, 높은 계산량으로 인하여 임베디드 환경에서의 실시간 부호화기로의 활용은 매우 제한적이다. 본 논문은 DSP 시스템이 제공하는 컴파일러 옵션 최적화, 인트린식과 어셈블코드 적용, 데이터 메모리 배치 최적화 과정을 H.264 부호화기 최적화의 입장에서, 비판적, 종합적으로 분석하고 반영한 결과를 소개한다. 특히, 대표적인 DSP인 TMS320DM64x를 사용하여 적용된 최적화 방식에 따른 연산이득을 구체적으로 제시하였으며, 그 결과 CIF급의 영상은 현재시장에 유통되는 DSP기반으로 실시간 구현이 가능함을 확인하였다.
