Abstract Each year manufacturers develop new processors. As a reaction to this continuous development, the developers of software have to adapt their software to those new processors. As a minimal requirement, the code of an operating system has to be changed to enable the execution of other user applications. This change is a complicated process during which incompatible parts of an operating system have to be redesigned and missing parts have to be implemented. Complications arise when there is a need to adapt an operating system to completely different processor architecture. In this paper we present a novel adaptation process that has preconditions to reduce the impact of these complications. This process uses a file for the formal description of a processor, which is also described in this paper. The formal description could act as a standard for processor manufacturers and could allow the generation of a platform dependent code of an operating system. This paper presents concepts, definitions and ideas of the adaptation process and shows possible solutions for an automatic generation of code parts of an operating system.

The Impact

The internet is a basic source of information for many specialities and uses. Such information includes sensitive data whose retrieval has been one of the basic functions of the internet. In order to protect the information from falling into the hands of an intruder, a VPN has been established. Through VPN, data privacy and security can be provided. Two main technologies of VPN are to be discussed; IPSec and Open VPN. The complexity of IPSec makes the OpenVPN the best due to the latter’s portability and flexibility to use in many operating systems. In the LAN, VPN can be implemented through Open VPN to establish a double privacy layer(privacy inside privacy). The specific subnet will be used in this paper. The key and certificate will be generated by the server. An authentication and key exchange will be based on standard protocol SSL/TLS. Various operating systems from open source and windows will be used. Each operating system uses a different hardware specification. Tools such as tcpdump and jperf will be used to verify and measure the connectivity and performance. OpenVPN in the LAN is based on the type of operating system, portability and straightforward implementation. The bandwidth which is captured in this experiment is influenced by the operating system rather than the memory and capacity of the hard disk. Relationship and interoperability between each peer and server will be discussed. At the same time privacy for the user in the LAN can be introduced with a minimum specification.

Reliability Performance

In embedded operating systems (OSes), non-functional properties like reliability, performance, or memory footprint are of special importance. State-of-the-art OS product lines focus on the configurability of functional characteristics of the system. This chapter proposes an approach that aims at also making non-functional properties indirectly configurable and maintainable by the system configurator. In order to reach this goal, the CiAO OS product line used here has configurable architectural properties, which have no functional influence on the target system, but instead bear an impact on its non-functional properties. Additionally, the chapter develops a feedback approach that gains information about the non-functional properties of an already configured system to assist further configuration decisions, and presents and details the CiAO approach and evaluates it using two case studies from the CiAO operating system.

This paper presents a work in progress on experiments with embedded operating systems for the MicroBlaze processor. Modern embedded systems based on a configurable platform incorporating a similar processor core are gaining importance with the ongoing effort to minimize cost and development time. After an overview of the configurable platform based on this processor core, we devote our attention to uClinux OS. This OS has been successfully ported for the MicroBlaze processor, and we present our current experience with it. At the end of the paper we discuss several possible booting strategies and recommend further development of U-BOOT.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a growing research area as a large of number portable devices are being developed. This fact makes operating systems (OS) useful to homogenize the development of these devices, to reduce design times, and to provide tools for developing complex applications. This work presents an operating system scheduler for resource-constraint wireless devices, which adapts the tasks scheduling in changing environments. The proposed adaptive scheduler allows dynamically delaying the execution of low priority tasks while maintaining real-time capabilities on high priority ones. Therefore, the scheduler is useful in nodes with rechargeable batteries, as it reduces its energy consumption when battery level is low, by delaying the least critical tasks. The adaptive scheduler has been implemented and tested in real nodes, and the results show that the nodes lifetime could be increased up to 70% in some scenarios at the expense of increasing latency of low priority tasks.

1045 Steel

The Fine-blanking with negative clearance processing is very complicated process because the blanking clearance is negative clearance, for this reason, the state of stress and strain in sheet inside are also more complicated than conventional blanking. In the process of fine-blanking with negative, plastic deformation of the material is fiercer than conventional blanking, and the change of material inner structure and hardness is more intense because of plastic deformation. The deformation principle of fine-blanking deformation with negative clearance is analyzed by means of streamline and metallographic photograph and micro hardness. The impact of fine-blanking with negative clearance on the materials microstructure and hardness is discussed. The research result indicates that the hardening value is 1.8 times than original material itself and the maximum harden depth is 2.2mm for AISI-1045 steel in the process of blanking with negative clearance. Therefore, it could enhance fatigue strength and the working life of workpiece greatly because of the improvement of the material inner structure.

The use of traditional approaches to teach Operating Systems usually lacks the visual aspect. The following research investigates the novel use of DEVS (Discrete Even Visualization and Simulation) in simulating the operation of an operating system. Cd boost++ was the framework of choice for this project. The simulation successfully mimicked the work of an operating system by simulating multiple cycles of program requests. This simulation is capable of further enhance the explanation of how an operating system works. The cases studied in this work include: 1- two processes running concurrently doing multiple IO’s, 2-four processes running concurrently based on a first come first serve scheduling algorithm, and 3- 20 processes running concurrently using highest priority scheduling algorithm. Output observation of the last case show promising results of successful use of DEVS and cd boost++ as a framework to build an operating system.

Web surveys are an integral part of the feedback of Internet services, a research tool for respondents, including in the field of health and psychology. Web technologies allow conducting research on large samples. For mental health, an important metric is reaction time in cognitive tests and in answering questions. The use of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets has increased markedly in web surveys, so the impact of device types and operating systems needs to be investigated. This article proposes an architectural solution aimed at reducing the effect of device variability on the results of cognitive psychological experiments. An experiment was carried out to formulate the requirements for software and hardware. Three groups of 1000 respondents were considered, corresponding to three types of computers and operating systems: Mobile Device, Legacy PC, and Modern PC. The results obtained showed a slight bias in the estimates for each group. It is noticed that the error for a group of devices differs both upward and downward for various tasks in a psychological experiment. Thus, for cognitive tests, in which the reaction time is critical, an architectural solution was synthesized for conducting psychological research in a web browser. The proposed architectural solution considers the characteristics of the device used by participants to undergo research in the web platform and allows to restrict access from devices that do not meet the specified criteria.
