whitepaper Design of the Light Weight Linux O.S on the DOM Memory2008-03-01 Dong-eui University
  Many people are studying the embedded system. The embedded system becomes a small size device. The DOM memory is using in the mobile device and small size devices. This paper designs the light-weighted Linux O.S that is running onto the DOM flash memory. The embedded system with the DOM must have a light-weigthed O.S due to the memory space restriction. This paper designs a light-weigthed Linux O.S for the DOM memory. The new designed LILO boot loader boots the new designed light-weigthed Linux O.S as a normal Linux O.S. This paper experiments to compare the designed new light-weigthed Linux O.S with a Linux PC.

whitepaper An Innovative Tool to Benchmark Smartphone Operating Systems2008-01-01 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.

whitepaper Teaching Software Engineering for Embedded Systems: An Experience Report From the Manaus Research and Development Pole2007-10-13 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
  The number of microprocessors and microcontrollers being applied to modern computational systems is growing exponentially. Nevertheless, it is not easy to find engineers with the necessary skills for developing software for such devices. In fact, the creation of official undergraduate courses to fulfill this modern demand proved not to be the best solution. This paper describes an inter-universities training program specially created for embedded systems organized by CEFET-AM, a technical college, and carried out by Genius Institute of Technology, a research and development company, both located in Manaus - Brazil. After a restrictive selection process, 24 senior students coming from 8 of the most important universities of the region started their studies. Eleven theoretical modules distributed in 300 hours of training were given.

whitepaper New Ferroelectric Material for Embedded FRAM LSIs2007-10-01 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.   
whitepaper Hacking Embedded Linux Based Home Appliances2007-08-30 Metalink
  Embedded Linux is an interesting phenomenon. With millions of devices shipped to-day, from residential gateways to cellular phones, it may be Linux's biggest success story ever. However, it gets disproportionately small amount of interest from the open source community. Part of the blame is on the companies developing embedded Linux based products, which feel uncomfortable with the idea of opensource. However, even bigger problem can be the fact that embedded systems are perceived as black boxes which are very hard to hack, contrary to an "Open" PC. This paper tries to break this stigma by showing Linux developers how to hack various Linux based devices that they might already have at home.

whitepaper Combined Usage of UML and Simulink in the Design of Embedded Systems: Investigating Scenarios and Structural and Behavioral Mapping2007-07-08 KTH - Royal Institute of Technology
  The multidisciplinary nature of advanced embedded systems requires a combined usage of several tools and modeling languages in systems development. The paper investigates the needs and some of the possibilities in simultaneous usage of Matlab/Simulink and UML. Structural and behavioral mappings are explored considering the needs for models at different abstraction level as well as environment models. The representation and mapping between behavioral models, including discrete-time, event-triggered, and continuous time systems is of special concern and solutions are discussed.

whitepaper Java-Based Programmable Networked Embedded System Architecture With Multiple Application Support0000-00-00 Seoul National University
  This paper addresses the problem of designing embedded system architecture for emerging information appliances such as PDAs and IMT2000 terminals. These systems are characterized by multiple-application support and network connectivity. Programmable architecture is an efficient way of implementing the multiple-application support. This paper proposes an FPGA-based embedded system architecture using Java as a software platform. The paper defines a set of native communication APIs for the communication between Java application and the FPGA.

whitepaper Fast Embedding of Sparse Music Similarity Graphs0000-00-00 Microsoft
  This paper applies fast sparse MultiDimensional Scaling (MDS) to a large graph of music similarity, with 267K vertices that represent artists, albums, and tracks; and 3.22M edges that represent similarity between those entities. MDS on very large sparse graphs can be effectively performed by a family of algorithms called Rectangular Dijsktra (RD) MDS algorithms. These RD algorithms operate on a dense rectangular slice of the distance matrix, created by calling Dijsktra a constant number of times. Two RD algorithms are compared: Landmark MDS, which uses the Nystrm approximation to perform MDS; and a new algorithm called Fast Sparse Embedding, which uses FastMap. These algorithms compare favorably to Laplacian Eigenmaps, both in terms of speed and embedding quality.

whitepaper Forensic Data Recovery From Flash Memory2007-06-01 Purdue University
  Current forensic tools for examination of embedded systems like mobile phones and PDA's mostly perform data extraction on a logical level and do not consider the type of storage media during data analysis. This paper suggests a low level approach for the forensic examination of flash memories and describes three low-level data acquisition methods for making full memory copies of flash memory devices. Results are presented of a file system study in which USB memory sticks from 45 different make and models were used. For different mobile phones is shown how full memory copies of their flash memories can be made and which steps are needed to translate the extracted data into a format that can be understood by common forensic media analysis tools.

whitepaper Embedding Test Components Into Operational Systems: A Guide to Enhance System Testing During Production2007-05-15 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.
