Wireless Communication and Sensor Networks (WCSN) occupy a very important place in
creating pervasive environment that would have profound influence on the society. The
wireless communication technologies and devices have reached a point that would allow
the creation of large and pervasive services in a reliable manner. Wireless Sensor and
Actor Networks (WSAN) would thus influence the world through their pervasive presence
in even the remotest locations and permit distributed monitoring and control with the
advantage of the developments in Wireless Communication, Embedded Processors,
Semantic Web and Smart Surroundings. The breakthroughs in power aware designs and
the availability of adequate wireless channel bandwidths enable building large and
sustainable systems that would benefit the society. However, since currently no practical
application systems of any significant size exist, there would be major challenges in
developing intelligent, distributive, collaborative and multimodal networks that would
sense and act in wide areas in an unattended manner and in deployment of such large
network that function in a reliable manner would be a major challenge.
The Seventh International WCSN Conference is planned to facilitate exchanging
information in regard to the development of technologies, applications and experiences
with focus on large deployable applications. The conference would have special focus on
wildlife and forest protection, health care and mine safety using WSAN.

The themes of the conference are as under, but are not limited to:

1. Wireless Communications
2. Wireless Sensor Networks
3. Sustainable Pervasive WSAN Applications
4. Devices, Tools and Techniques Relevant to Wireless Sensor Networks

*1. Current Challenges in Embedded Communication Systems*
Jouni Isoaho, University of Turku, Finland
Seppo Virtanen, University of Turku, Finland
Juha Plosila, University of Turku, Finland

This article defines and analyses key challenges met in future embedded
systems in networked multimedia and communication applications.
Self-awareness, interoperability and embedded security are used to
characterize different aspects of designing and implementing next
generation embedded systems. The dynamic nature of applications and
implementations as well as possible technological faults and variations
need to be considered in system verification and modeling. A new design
layer needs to be added to current NoC platforms in order to build
procedures that take into account dynamic system reconfigurations,
fault-tolerance aspects and flexible portability. Increased modularity
and networked implementations create a need for trust management
mechanisms between system components and technology for analyzing
validity and correctness of received application and system
configuration information.

*2. Embedded Networks in Mobile Devices*
Sergey Balandin, Nokia Research Center, Finland
Michel Gillet, Nokia Devices, Finland

The concept of a mobile phone has recently transformed into a new
concept of mobile multimedia devices capable of performing multiple
complex tasks and integrating multiple functionalities. It has resulted
in a significant increase of device integration costs and complicated
deployment of new technologies. Device integrator companies favor
modularity everywhere possible, which results in a new trend toward
networked architectures for the mobile devices. However, comparing to
the best-known embedded network solutions, e.g., SoC and NoC, these
architectures have unique constraints and requirements, which also are
significantly different from the wide area networks. The main
constraints are power consumption and having a modular architecture to
allow reuse of the components. Transition to the new architectures for
mobile devices is a time consuming task that requires the analysis of
many solutions applied in other contexts, especially for embedded
protocols, QoS and resource management. This article reviews the state
of the art in embedded networks research and the key assumptions,
restrictions and limitations faced by designers of embedded networks
architectures for mobile devices.


*3. Generating Process Network Communication Infrastructure for Custom
Multi-Core Platforms*
Peter Srensen (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)
Jan Madsen (Technical University of Denmark, Denmark)

We present an approach for generating implementations of abstraction
layers implementing the communication infrastructure of applications
modeled as process networks. Our approach is unique in that it does not
rely on assumptions about the capabilities and topology of the
underlying platform. Instead, a generic implementation is adapted to the
particular platform based on information retrieved from analyzing the
platform. At the heart of the approach is a novel method for analyzing
the capabilities of custom execution platforms composed of components.
The versatility and usefulness of the approach and analysis method is
demonstrated through a case study.


*4. Parallel Programming and Its Architectures Based on Data Access
Separated Algorithm Kernels*
Dake Liu, Linkping University, Sweden
Joar Sohl, Linkping University, Sweden
Jian Wang, Linkping University, Sweden

A novel master-multi-SIMD architecture and its kernel (template) based
parallel programming flow is introduced as a parallel signal processing
platform. The name of the platform is ePUMA (embedded Parallel DSP
processor architecture with Unique Memory Access). The essential
technology is to separate data accessing kernels from arithmetic
computing kernels so that the run-time cost of data access can be
minimized by running it in parallel with algorithm computing. The SIMD
memory subsystem architecture based on the proposed flow dramatically
improves the total computing performance. The hardware system and
programming flow introduced in this article will primarily aim at
low-power high-performance embedded parallel computing with low silicon
cost for communications and similar real-time signal processing.


*5. Joint Validation of Application Models and Multi-Abstraction
Network-on-Chip Platforms*
Sanna Mtt, Tampere University of Technology, Finland
Leandro Mller, Technische Universitt Darmstadt, Germany
Leandro Indrusiak, University of York, UK
Luciano Ost, Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
Manfred Glesner, Technische Universitt Darmstadt, Germany
Jari Nurmi, Tampere University of Technology, Finland
Fernando Moraes, Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

Application models are often disregarded during the design of
multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC). This is due to the difficulties
of capturing the application constraints and applying them to the design
space exploration of the platform. In this article we propose an
application modelling formalism that supports joint validation of
application and platform models. To support designers on the trade-off
analysis between accuracy, observability, and validation speed, we show
that this approach can handle the successive refinement of platform
models at multiple abstraction levels. A case study of the joint
validation of a single application successively mapped onto three
different platform models demonstrates the applicability of the
presented approach.


*6. Schedulability Analysis for Real Time On-Chip Communication with
Wormhole Switching*
Zheng Shi, University of York, UK
Alan Burns, University of York, UK
Leandro Indrusiak, University of York, UK

In this paper, the authors discuss a real-time on-chip communication
service with a priority-based wormhole switching policy. The authors
present a novel off-line schedulability analysis approach, worst case
network latency analysis. By evaluating diverse inter-relationships and
service attributes among the traffic flows, this approach can predict
the packet network latency for all practical situations. The simulation
results provide evidence that communication latency calculated using the
real time analysis approach is safe, closely matching the figures
obtained from simulation.

*7. Modeling Communication in Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip Using Modular
Connectors*
Leonidas Tsiopoulos, bo Akademi University, Finland
Kaisa Sere, bo Akademi University, Finland

Formal methods of concurrent programming can be used to develop and
verify complex Multi-Processor Systems-On-Chip in order to ensure that
these systems satisfy their functional and communication requirements.
The authors use the Action Systems formalism and show how asynchronous
communication of Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip can be modeled using
generic connectors composed out of simple channel components. The paper
proposes a new approach to modeling generic and hierarchical connectors
for handling the complexity of on-chip communication and data flow. The
authors goal is to avoid overloaded bus-based architectures and give a
distributed framework. A case study presents the authors modeling
methodology.



*8. Towards Sustainable Development of Energy-Aware Systems*
Luigia Petre, bo Akademi University, Finland
Kaisa Sere, bo Akademi University, Finland

Smart devices have pervaded our society and encouraged lifestyles that
depend on them. One of the fundamental requirements for a successful
dependency is that the general public be aware of the energy limitations
of these devices and to stay in control of energy consumption. In this
paper, the authors propose a formal specification method that takes
energy into account. They propose two development approaches that can
use these specifications to develop energy-aware systems in a
sustainable manner.



*9. Service-Oriented Development of Fault Tolerant Communicating Systems:
Refinement Approach*
Linas Laibinis, bo Akademi University, Finland
Elena Troubitsyna, bo Akademi University, Finland
Sari Leppnen, Nokia Research Center, Finland

Telecommunication systems must have a high degree of availability, that
is, a high probability of correct and timely provision of requested
services. To achieve this, correctness of software for such systems
should be ensured. Application of formal methods helps increase
confidence in building correct software. However, to be used in
practice, formal methods should be well integrated into existing
development process. In this paper, the authors propose a formal
model-driven approach to development of communicating systems. The
authors formalize and extend the Lyra approach-a top-down
service-oriented method for development of communicating systems. Lyra
is based on transformation and decomposition of models expressed in
UML2. The authors formalize Lyra in the B Method by proposing a set of
formal specification and refinement patterns reflecting the essential
models and transformations of the Lyra phases. Moreover, this paper
extends Lyra to integrate reasoning about fault tolerance in the entire
development flow.



*10. Hierarchical Agent Monitored Parallel On-Chip System: A Novel Design
Paradigm and its Formal Specification*
Liang Guang, University of Turku, Finland
Jouni Isoaho, University of Turku, Finland
Hannu Tenhunen, University of Turku, Finland

In this paper, the authors present a formal specification of a novel
design paradigm, hierarchical agent monitored SoCs (HAMSOC). The
paradigm motivates dynamic monitoring in a hierarchical and distributed
manner, with adaptive agents embedded for local and global operations.
Formal methods are of essential importance to the development of such a
novel and complex platform. As the initial effort, functional
specification is indispensable to the non-ambiguous system modeling
before potential property verification. The formal specification defines
the manner by which the system can be constructed with hierarchical
components and the representation of run-time information in modeling
entities and every type of the monitoring operations. The syntax follows
the standard set theory with additional glossary and notations
introduced to facilitate practical SoC design process. A case study of
hierarchical monitoring for power management in NoC (Network-on-chip),
written with the formal specification, is demonstrated.



*11. Automatic Generation of Memory Interfaces for ASIPs*
David Kammler, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Ernst Witte, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Anupam Chattopadhyay, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Bastian Bauwens, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Gerd Ascheid, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Rainer Leupers, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
Heinrich Meyr, RWTH Aachen University, Germany

With the growing market for multi-processor system-on-chip (MPSoC)
solutions, application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs) gain
importance as they allow for a wide tradeoff between flexibility and
efficiency in such a system. Their development is aided by architecture
description languages (ADLs) supporting the automatic generation of
architecture-specific tool sets as well as synthesizable register
transfer level (RTL) implementations from a single architecture model.
However, these generated implementations have to be manually adapted to
the interfaces of dedicated memories or memory controllers, slowing down
the design-space exploration regarding the memory architecture. To
overcome this drawback, the authors extend RTL code generation from ADL
models with the automatic generation of memory interfaces. This is
accomplished by introducing a new abstract and versatile description
format for memory interfaces and their timing protocols. The feasibility
of this approach is demonstrated in real-life case studies, including a
design space exploration for a banked memory system.

*12. Implementation of FFT on General-Purpose Architectures for FPGA*
Fabio Garzia, Tampere University of Technology, Finland
Roberto Airoldi, Tampere University of Technology, Finland
Jari Nurmi, Tampere University of Technology, Finland

This paper describes two general-purpose architectures targeted to Field
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation. The first architecture is
based on the coupling of a coarse-grain reconfigurable array with a
general-purpose processor core. The second architecture is a homogeneous
multi-processor system-on-chip (MP-SoC). Both architectures have been
mapped onto two different Altera FPGA devices, a StratixII and a
StratixIV. Although mapping onto the StratixIV results in higher
operating frequencies, the capabilities of the device are not fully
exploited. The implementation of a FFT on the two platforms shows a
considerable speed-up in comparison with a single-processor reference
architecture. The speed-up is higher in the reconfigurable solution but
the MP-SoC provides an easier programming interface that is completely
based on C language. The authors approach proves that implementing a
programmable architecture on FPGA and then programming it using a
high-level software language is a viable alternative to designing a
dedicated hardware block with a hardware description language (HDL) and
mapping it on FPGA.


*13. System Architecture for 3GPP-LTE Modem using a Programmable Baseband
Processor*
Di Wu, Linkping University, Sweden
Johan Eilert, Linkping University, Sweden
Rizwan Asghar, Linkping University, Sweden
Dake Liu, Linkping University, Sweden
Anders Nilsson, Coresonic AB, Sweden
Eric Tell, Coresonic AB, Sweden
Eric Alfredsson, Coresonic AB, Sweden

The evolution of third generation mobile communications toward
high-speed packet access and long-term evolution is ongoing and will
substantially increase the throughput with higher spectral efficiency.
This paper presents the system architecture of an LTE modem based on a
programmable baseband processor. The architecture includes a baseband
processor that handles processing time and frequency synchronization,
IFFT/FFT (up to 2048-p), channel estimation and subcarrier de-mapping.
The throughput and latency requirements of a Category four User
Equipment (CAT4 UE) is met by adding a MIMO symbol detector and a
parallel Turbo decoder supporting H-ARQ, which brings both low silicon
cost and enough flexibility to support other wireless standards. The
complexity demonstrated by the modem shows the practicality and
advantage of using programmable baseband processors for a single-chip
LTE solution.
