In general, software upgrade technique is needed to add new features or fix bug of software on a network devices. However, the problem is that the software must be upgraded after the termination of networking service to replace new package. An ISSU(In-Service Software Upgrade) technique is used to solve such the problem. ISSU is a technology to upgrade the software without interrupting the network service or an offline network equipment. In this paper, to provide a seamless networking service, we design and implement an architecture to apply ISSU technique to a network operating system. In this paper, we use high-availability feature in N2OS which has been developed by ETRI. In addition, in order to verify that the implemented ISSU function is operation properly, we proceed to test using a test environment based on a virtual machine.

Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) are applied to many monitoring applications. Present sensor nodes can perform many functions at the same time and contain complex software. During the lifetime of sensor nodes, they are required to reprogram their software because of their new functions, software, software bug fixes. The nodes are inaccessible physically or it is very difficult to upgrade their software by one by one. To upgrade the software of sensor nodes in WSNs remotely, this paper presents an energy efficient method by selecting an optimal relay node. The CHR(Cluster Head Relay) method is compared with SPIN and RANDOM method. Three methods are simulated in NS-2 with the same environmental parameters. Simulation results show that CHR shows faster update time and less power consumption compared with other two methods.

In this paper, we have implemented the device management system to upgrade T-PAK software in mobile phone. The hybrid scheduling method and selective upgrade method are proposed. Hybrid scheduling method is based on distribution of delivery data in accordance with network traffic load and service priority from device management server to mobile phone. Selective upgrade method manages DSL classified by T-PAK software version to be upgrade using version management established in OMA DM SCOMO. Key mechanism of selective upgrade method is to only deliver DSL to be replaced to the mobile phone. We made an experiment on two methods using MS-700T terminals. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is faster than normal from delivery time standpoint.

The purpose of this study and report is to provide, to the MND, an independent cost analysis of modernizing software of F-16 fighter fleets to support the use of several weapon system options, including JDAM, AIM-9X and HARM Targeting System etc. The study analyzed each options with software sizing, software cost, enabling hardware cost, flight test cost, system engineering cost, and 3 strategies. And the study proposed and analyzed some alternative strategies: strategy1 is to modernize software only within existing electronic processing capability; strategy2 is a full upgrade of weapons avionics with plug compatible electronics; strategy3 is an approach defined to mirror the USAF Common Configuration Implementation Approach (CCIP). The recommended alternative is strategy2.

It can be seen that the infringement of copyright cases is increasing as the society becomes more complex and advanced. During the software copyright dispute, there may be a dispute over whether the software is duplicated and made into upgraded software. In this paper, we intend to propose an analysis method for determining whether to upgrade software. For the software upgrade analysis, a software similarity analysis technique was used. The analysis program covers servers, management programs, and Raspberry PC programs. The first analysis confirms the correspondence between program creation information and content. In addition, it analyzes the similarity of functions and screen composition between the submitted program and the program installed in the field. The second comparative analysis compares and analyzes similarities by operating two programs in the same environment. As a result of comparative analysis, it was confirmed that the operation and configuration screens of the two programs were identical. Thus, minor differences were found in a few files, but it was confirmed that the two programs were mostly made using the same or almost similar source code. Therefore, this program can be judged as an upgrade program.

FOTA는 무선기능이 장착된 Mobile Device에 새로운 Software에 대한 알림기능이 도착하면, Software가 탐재된 서버에 접속하여 Software를 Download 받고, 그 Download한 Software를 Upgrade 하는 기능을 말한다. FOTA 기능을 장착하기 위해서 Mobile Device는 Delta Package의 사이즈를 최소화하기 위한 특별한 Binary 구조를 가지는데 두 Binary의 차이를 압축한 것을 Delta Package라고 부르며, Binary 사이에 Upgrade를 위한 여분의 Gap을 두어, 향후 수정된 내용이 있을 때, 수정사항을 공간 내에 포함할 수 있도록 한다. 바이너리를 구성하는 Object들이 Image내에 어떤 위치에 포함될 것인지를 결정하는 Scatter Loader에 따라, Binary의 구조 및 확장성, Delta의 크기를 결정하게 되는데, 이것은 Object의 Type이나 Scatter Loading File내에서 명시한 순서와는 관계가 없고, Execution Region의 분할 개수를 늘릴수록, 각 Object의 Dependency 별로 묶을수록 Delta Size가 작아지는 것을 알게 되었다. 이 논문에서는 위에서 제시한 조건이 Delta Size에 미치는 원인에 대해 분석하고, Scatter Loading File을 최적화시킬 수 있는 방안에 대해서 연구한다.

This paper addresses the problem of the software update or upgrade of embedded equipments on a missile assembly with booster. Because the embedded equipments are assembled delicately and closely one another with various communication and power cables, they should be very carefully disassembled to directly upgrade the software of a certain embedded equipment. This may cause not only the costs for disassembly and reassembly but also additional tests to verify the completeness of the reassembled missile as a missile assembly with booster. This paper presents an indirect data transfer technique based on MIL-STD-1553B through Guidance Control Unit to easily upgrade the software of other equipments without any additional costs caused by disassembly and reassembly. The presented technique was successfully applied to the software upgrade of various equipments on real missile assembly with booster.

The firmware upgrade, which is remotely performed, is an essential function in smart metering or AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure). In other words, the AMI software and firmware can be switched for maintaining and improvement without replacement of H/W devices in AMI environment. Also, if number and type of devices are increase, the demand of remote update service will be increased. Through the firmware upgrade service remotely, the electric power corporation may be able to benefit various fields. For example, there are to adapt more easily in many environments, real-time service and to cut maintenance costs. In this paper, we proposed to design an international level FUMS(Firmware Upgrade Management System) which includes requirement function, architecture and protocol related with DCU, Smart Meter.
