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.

Since embedded software is very dependent for target hardware architecture, characteristics of the platform must be considered when designing the software. Furthermore, MPSoCs consists of heterogeneous hardware components that are specified in micro level. Thus mapping of embedded software for MPSoCs should be considered the characteristics. In this paper, we provide an approach to automatic mapping PIM (Platform Independent Model) of an embedded software to PSM(Platform Specific Model) for MPSoC(Multi Processor System On Chip) and verify its effectiveness with simulation. In the proposed approach, tasks are derived from an object oriented model based on the UML (Unified Modeling Language). And then the types of the derived tasks are identified. With the identified types and inter relationship between tasks, the tasks are assigned to appropriate heterogeneous hardware components. We expect that the approach improve accuracy of the assigning and concurrency of the deployed software.

This paper presents the new development result of the multi-band, the multi-mode SDR(Software Defined Radar) platform. The SDR hardware platform is implemented by using the reconfigurable multi-band RF transceiver and antenna modules of S, X, and K-bands, and a programmable signal processing module. The SDR software platform is implemented by using the multi-mode waveform generation of CW, Pulse, FMCW, and LFM Chirp as well as the adaptable algorithm library of signal processing and open API software modules. Through the integrated test of the SDR platform, the operational performance was verified in real-time. Also, through the field-application test, the ground target and air-vehicle drone target were successfully detected and their test results were presented.

A component is a reusable and replaceable software module accessed through its interface. Component-based development is expected to shorten the development period, reduce maintenance costs, and improve program reusability and the interoperability of components. This paper proposes a new robot software component platform in order to support the entire process of robot software development. It consists of specifications of a component model, component authoring tool, component composer, and component execution engine. To show its feasibility, this paper presents the analysis results of the component's communication overhead, a comparison with other robotic software platforms, and applications in commercial robots.

Fashion design in the metaverse is not simply a 3D avatar or virtual fashion, it is an important clue for shopping trends, and the role of fashion design has grown even more because avatars and humans are identified and active. This study, I attempts to understand the metaverse platform accurately and find out the scope of fashion design within the metaverse platform. In addition, we want to provide basic data that can expand the field by using fashion design in various ways on the metabus platform. This study investigated and analyzed various metaverse fashion cases, articles, software, and methods used by metaverse fashion creators, and the results are as follows. First, the metaverse platform is a new level of virtual interaction where users and creators communicate through the convergence of augmented reality, lifelogging, mirror world, and virtual world. Second, most of the users of the metaverse platform are generation Z, and metaverse creators who make money by producing avatars or items, including fashion design, are emerging as a new job field. Third, many fashion brands created spaces on the Metaverse platform, collaborated with games, or opened fashion weeks for publicity, marketing, and sales. Fourth, as a 3D program for metaverse fashion creator activities, open-source software is easier and free of charge compared to programs for fashion design specialists, and most costumes can be reproduced, so it will be easier for fashion design majors to utilize.

The global market for medical devices is huge, and it will continue showing remarkable growth in the future. However, due to the entry barrier to develop medical devices, many domestic companies have technical problems in entering the medical device industry. In this paper, we introduce an open platform that can help with research and development for companies in the healthcare industry. This open platform consists of a hardware part and a software part. A hardware part is combined into CPU, base and other modules that are easy to replace and assemble. A software part is based on application software for development developed by Bionet. We test the performance of the open medical device platform using a biosignal processing algorithm.

The importance of mobile software test is being addressed to improve the productivity and reliability of the software. Test automation technique based on mobile platform is required for effective application of mobile software test. That is, a technique is needed to generate test case for mobile platform API. When test case generated, software productivity and reliability are improved, while test duration and cost are decreased. In this paper, we identified test case generation scope through previous works about test automation, suggested keyword driven method, a test case generation technique on J2ME platform, and recognized that proposed method can be applicable to generating test case based on J2ME platform.

Recently, as the roles and utilization fields of UAV become more diverse, demand for high - level mission has been increasing. To solve this issue, researches on the operation of multiple small UAVs and related systems have been actively carried out. The multiple small UAVs based application system has a problem that the task complexity of control personnel increases because the control personnel must continuously control and manage several small UAVs. Hence, it is necessary to develop a software platform that can perform efficient control in order to employ a multiple small UAVs based application system successfully. In this paper, we propose an effective ground control software platform for application systems using multiple small UAVs. We first analyze the requirements for the software platform, and design and implement software based on the analysis. Simulation using the X-plane flight simulator shows that multiple flight data are effectively displayed and that the image data transmitted from many small UAVs are simultaneously displayed in real time.

Traceability enables software developers to trace up the changes occurring in software artifacts. In software product line, traceability is more complex than traceability in a single product as commonality and variability should be considered. Modeling traceability between features and requirements has been proposed in the past. However, traceability between requirements and architecture has more factors to consider, including many-to-many mappings and hierarchical structure of architectures. This paper proposes a method of systematically constructing platform traceability between platform requirements and platform architecture. This paper also shows the efficacy of the proposed mechanism through case studies.
