An Innovative Tool to Benchmark Smartphone Operating Systems 2008-01-01 Jakajima

Jakajima, a knowledge and information provider for the telecom, ICT, and consumer-electronics trade chain, noticed that no real benchmark has been developed for Smartphone Operating Systems, while the importance of the smartphone and its' OS is growing rapidly. Together with Eindhoven University of Technology, Jakajima has developed a benchmark for these Operating systems. With this benchmark, Jakajima and Eindhoven University of Technology offer the market (OS developers, application developers, hardware suppliers, operators etc.) new innovative tools to compare their mobile products and/or applications in an independent way. The benchmark is an ideal tool in any phase of a product; during concept, development and deployment. This paper provides the approach, methodology and some results.

New Ferroelectric Material for Embedded FRAM LSIs 2007-10-01 Fujitsu

The strong growth of information network infrastructures in the society has enabled personal authentication services for electronic money systems and ticketless trans- portation services to become firmly established. Secure, high-speed, and low power consumption nonvolatile memories will be required for mobile devices used with smart RFID tags and secure IC cards. Ferroelectric Random Access Memory (FRAM) is one of the best choices for these applications. Market needs must be paid attention for these mobile and secure applications.

Embedding Test Components Into Operational Systems: A Guide to Enhance System Testing During Production 2007-05-15 IBM

Large enterprise solutions have many components. Verifying the operability of each system component is challenging, but it is an extremely important task. One can use embedded test components, even in a production environment, that make the whole system testable during deployment. This paper explains how to efficiently plan for embedded test components in the architectural, implementation, and operational phases of a project. The reader also discovers how to embed these test components with functional components with minimal operational overhead.

Intel Virtualization Technology: New Client Virtualization Usage Models Using Intel Virtualization Technology 2006-08-10 Intel

Intel's Embedded IT (EIT) strategy focuses on defining a set of usages aimed at benefiting IT departments and home PC customer support by providing advanced and remote capabilities for provisioning, manageability, diagnostics, and remediation of the client (desktop and mobile) platform. EIT leverages key platform technologies supported on Intel vPro technology platforms and select digital home platforms, including Intel Virtualization Technology (VT), Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), and dual core processors to deliver an innovative framework on which these capabilities may be implemented and enhanced.

Boxy Types: Inference for Higher-Rank Types and Impredicativity 2006-05-02 05:49:02

Languages with rich type systems are beginning to employ a blend of type inference and type checking, so that the type inference engine is guided by programmer-supplied type annotations. This paper shows how to combine the virtues of two well-established ideas: unification-based inference, and bidirectional propagation of type annotations. The result is a type system that conservatively extends Hindley-Milner, and yet supports both higher-rank types and impredicativity.

On-Time and Scalable Intrusion Detection in Embedded Systems 2006-02-22 University of Houston

Embedded systems are becoming ubiquitous and are increasingly interconnected or networked, making them more vulnerable to security attacks. A large class of these systems such as SCADA and PCS has real-time and safety constraints. Therefore, in addition to satisfying these requirements, achieving system security emerges as a critical challenge to ensure that users can trust these embedded systems to perform correct operations. One objective in a secure system is to identify attacks by detecting anomalous system behaviors. This paper describes the challenges in the design and implementation of such intrusion detection capability.

Production-Testing of Embedded Systems With Aspects 2005-10-21 Tampere University of Technology

A test harness plays an important role in the development of any embedded system. Although the harness can be excluded from final products, its architecture should support maintenance and reuse, especially in the context of testing product families. Aspect-orientation is a new technique for software architecture that should enable scattered and tangled code to be addressed in a modular fashion, thus facilitating maintenance and reuse. However, the design of interworking between object-oriented baseline architecture and aspects attached on top of it is an issue, which has not been solved conclusively. For industrial-scale use, guidelines on what to implement with objects and what with aspects should be derived.

Sizzle: A Standards-Based End-to-End Security Architecture for the Embedded Internet 2005-10-04 03:00:05

According to popular perception, public-key cryptography is beyond the capabilities of highly constrained, "mote"-like, embedded devices. This paper shows that elliptic curve cryptography not only makes public-key cryptography feasible on these devices, it allows one to create a complete secure web server stack that runs efficiently within very tight resource constraints.

Controlling EWF by Using the EWF APIs 2005-08-09 03:00:02

Windows XP Embedded includes Enhanced Write Filter (EWF), which provides a means for protecting a volume from disk writes. This paper provides several examples that demonstrate how to create applications by using the set of EWF application programming interfaces (APIs) through Visual Studio .NET 2003. The Write Filter component in Microsoft Windows NT Embedded provides basic support to protect a hard disk from read and write access.

Evaluation of GPRS Enabled Secure Remote Patient Monitoring System 2005-11-22 01:00:03

This paper presents a methodology for monitoring patients remotely without geographical barriers using a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) enabled embedded system. The system architecture is described and performance has been evaluated in the context of data security needs. The suitability of the GPRS connectivity is considered in the context of the overall architecture and TCP/IP over GPRS has been shown to provide both a feasible and practical strategy.
