Abstract

Along with the complexity and size growth of embedded software, it is critical to meet the nonfunctional requirements such as power consumption as well as functional requirements such as correctness. This paper, apart from the existing studies of source code-based power analysis, proposes an approach of model-based power analysis using UML 2.0. Specially, we focus on the development of energy library to analyze the power consumption of embedded software. Our energy library supports model-based power analysis, and also supports the easy adaption for the change of embedded application.

임베디드 소프트웨어의 복잡성 및 대형화로 인하여 기능적 요구사항뿐만 아니라 소모전력 관리와 같은 비기능적 요구사항이 중요시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 소스 코드 기반의 소모 전력을 분석하는 기존의 접근 방법과 달리 UML 2.0 기반의 모델을 중심으로 하는 임베디드 소프트웨어의 소모전력 분석 기법을 제시한다. 특히 소모 전력 분석을 위해 요구되는 에너지 컴포넌트에 대한 라이브러리 구축에 대하여 제시한다. 제시하는 라이브러리는 모델 기반의 소모전력 분석을 가능하도록 지원할 뿐만 아니라, 임베디드 응용의 변경에 따른 라이브러리 적용이 쉽게 이루어질 수 있다는 장점을 제공한다.
