The embedded software has been become more important than the hardware in mobile systems in ubiquitous society. The improvement models such as CMMI(Capability Maturity Model Integration) and SPICE(Software Process Improvement and Capability dEtermination) are used to improve the quality of software in general systems. Software process improvement is also necessary for mobile embedded software development to improve its quality. It is not easy to apply the general software improvement model to the mobile embedded software development due to the high cost effectiveness and heavy process. On the other hand, XP has the characteristics on focused communications with customers and iteration development. It is specially suitable for mobile embedded software development as depending on customer's frequent requirement changes and hardware attributes. In this paper, we propose a framework for development small process improvement based XP(eXtreme Programming)'s practice in order to accomplish CMMI level 2 or 3 in mobile embedded software development at the small organizations. We design and implement the Mobile Embedded Software Process Improvement System(MESPIS) to support process improvement. We also suggest the evaluation method for the mobile embedded software development process improvement framework with CMMI coverage check by comparing other process improvement model. In the future, we need to apply this proposed framework to real project for practical effectiveness and the real cases quantitative. It also include the enhance the functionality of MESPIS.

In this paper, we developed a new hybrid mobile robot which can climb stairs and go over thresholds by crawl gait with embedded real-time control software. This robot is also categorized into hybrid robot that has advantages of wheeled mobile robot and legged mobile robot, but adopts gait feature of crocodile named belly crawl. We imitated the belly crawl using four legs of 2 DOF, four omni-directional wheels, and embedded control software which controls legs and wheels. This software is developed using RTAI/Linux, real-time drivers. As a result, the new hybrid mobile robot has crawl gait. Using this feature, the new hybrid mobile robot can climb stairs and go over thresholds just by path planning of each leg with size of stairs and thresholds, and computing the movement distance of robot body center without considering stability. The performance of our new hybrid mobile robot is verified via experiments.

Computing systems in the modern era are expanding rapidly to include mobile-based businesses that make us of the various convergence distributed business process. This has lead to growing interest in the field of mobile embedded software development methodology, which has in turn lead to the proliferation of the embedded mobility. The use of CBD (Component Based Development) provides reusability, maintainability and portability, all of which are very important and focus issues to the business process. It also comes with the inherent productivity, quality and reliability of CBD. To make efficient use of CBD, though, clarified interface definitions for component integration are necessary. These definitions should be made up of collaborative hierarchical and horizontal architecture layers. Successful definitions should apply an effective framework made up of the architecture and process. In this paper, we describe an interface specification for small grained mobile embedded components(MEC) for the mobile embedded domain to meet maximum user requirements. We build and deploy the reconfigurable design patterns and components (in business domain categories) to make a component hierarchy and business logics for mobile embedded software. Proposed components specification plays a major role in development of the software for handling inconsistency in existing specification. It also includes plenty of specification information, using semantics and modeling based mechanisms to support business processes. We propose a development model of mobile embedded software using CBD for very complex and dynamic mobile business. We can apply it in a plug and play manner to develop the software. We verify that our framework supports very good productivity, quality and maintainability to meet the user's requirements in mobile business.

A tool for analyzing and testing software in real-time is required for the efficient development of highly reliable real-time mobile embedded software This too] requires various technologies, such as source code based white-box test and real-time system monitoring and control. The tool also should be designed to improve reusability and portability by considering the interaction with other kinds of real-time system. This paper identifies and analyzes the functional requirements for the test tool on real-time mobile embedded software and suggests an adequate tool architecture based on the collected requirements. It also suggests the specific implementation technology and architecture design pattern to support the tool's expandability and portability.

The development process of Embedded Software (SW) is gathering interest due to the increased importance of SW in mobile products. According to tough competition and the growing size of the Embedded SW, there is a demand for a new effective way to improve the SW development process, based on customer and market quality aspects, rather than focusing on defect removals in individual SW modules. We review 103 SW improvement projects from the area of mobile phones in order to check the effectiveness of Six Sigma which is the standard for the process improvement statistical tools and methods.

The present study describes the development of control hardware and software for a mobile welding robot. This robot is able to move and perform welding tasks in a double hull structure. The control hardware consists of a main controller and a welding machine controller. Control software consists of four layers. Each layer consists of modules. Suitable combinations of modules enable the control software to perform the required tasks. Control software is developed using C programming under QNX operating system. For the modularizing architecture of control software, we designed control software with four layers: Task Manager, Task Planner, Actions for Task, and Task Executer. The embedded controller and control software was applied to the mobile welding robot for successful execution of the required tasks. For evaluate this imbedded controller and control software, the field tests are conducted, it is confirmed that the developed imbedded controller of mobile welding robot for shipyard is well designed and implemented.

Cloud storage services are used for efficient sharing or synchronizing of user's data across multiple mobile devices. Although cloud storages provide flexibility and scalability in storing data, security issues should be handled. Currently, typical cloud storage services offer data encryption for security purpose but we think such method is not secure enough because managing encryption keys by software and identifying users by simple ID and password are main defectives of current cloud storage services. We propose a secure data access method to cloud storage in mobile environment. Our framework supports hardware-based key management, attestation on the client software integrity, and secure key sharing across the multiple devices. We implemented our prototype using ARM TrustZone and TPM Emulator which is running on secure world of the TrustZone environment.

In this paper, we propose a simple one-click marketing solution for mobile devices which can advertise a product which is embedded in a mobile video while watching the video on a smartphone. If a specific product of interest appears in the video to the user, one can simply click on the product in the video and a pop-up window with information about the product is proposed. The implementation of the system is expected to enable users to gain real-time information about the product while watching the video without having to search for the product again after watching the movie, and thereby facilitating more mobile commerce. We use a two-fold system to prevent the failure of tracking which often occurs on a single online tracking system, so that the user cannot always get the commercial product information.

Due to the rapid advance of IT technologies such as mobile communication, sensor network, wearable computer, and so on, the needs of embedded software has increased. In those domain areas, the development of low-power embedded software is one of critical issues to enhance servicability of the system because almost embedded system depends on battery-based power supply system. Therefore this paper identifies the factors that can reduce the power consumption in embedded software operation, and proposes the method that how to handle the factors in software development process. Even though the existing and general studies about power reduction has been performed with code-based analysis, this analysis approach can lead reworks when the requirement for power consumption was not met. Our proposed techniques will support the power reduction in embedded software development process whenever the code was not developed. Our proposed process for lop-power embedded software development can gives the high quality in power-related serviceability.

Nowadays, an explosive increase of mobile devices has triggered a lot of research into radio resource management. Therefore, many studies have been done and still underway to use this limited resource efficiently. However, most of the existing studies focused on efficiency in mac layer. In this paper, I proposed a timer to manage radio resource, which refreshes the timer's values based on the number of connections dynamically. This dynamic timer enables Base Station (BS) to be able to manage available radio resources efficiently and accommodate much more Mobile Stations (MSs). Simulation result showed that BS with dynamic timer could accommodate the MS about 30% more, compared with BS with a static timer in terms of radio resource management. Dynamic timer is not restricted to any specific network standard. So its mechanism is practical and implementable without changing the original standard, which can contribute to service providers by increasing capability that BS can support.
