Over the last few decades, several advancements in the field of smart environment gained importance, so the experts can analyze ideas for smart building based on embedded systems to minimize the expense and energy conservation. Therefore, propelling the concept of smart home toward smart building, several challenges of power, communication, and sensors’ connectivity can be seen. Such challenges distort the interconnectivity between different technologies, such as Bluetooth and ZigBee, making it possible to provide the continuous connectivity among different objects such as sensors, actuators, home appliances, and cell phones. Therefore, this paper presents the concept of smart building based on embedded systems that enhance low power mobile sensors for sensing discrete events in embedded systems. The proposed scheme comprises system architecture that welcomes all the mobile sensors to communicate with each other using a single platform service. The proposed system enhances the concept of smart building in three stages (i.e., visualization, data analysis, and application). For low power mobile sensors, we propose a communication model, which provides a common medium for communication. Finally, the results show that the proposed system architecture efficiently processes, analyzes, and integrates different datasets efficiently and triggers actions to provide safety measurements for the elderly, patients, and others.

The growing complexity of today's embedded systems demands new methodologies and tools to manage the problems of analysis, design, implementation, and validation of complex-embedded systems. Focusing on this issue, this paper describes a design and implementation toolset using our ODYSSEY methodology, which advocates object-oriented (OO) modeling of embedded systems and its ASIP-based implementation. The proposed approach promotes a smooth transition from high-level object-oriented specification to the final embedded system, which is composed of hardware and software components. The transition from higher to lower abstraction levels is facilitated by the use of our GUI, which supports the intermediate steps of the design and implementation process. In order to illustrate the proposed approach and related toolset, we apply this top-down design and implementation framework to real-world embedded systems, namely JPEG codec and Motion JPEG codec. Experimental results show that the developed tool remarkably decreases the design and verification time with modest performance penalty.

Reusability and tailorability in software development are discussed in general and a set of techniques supporting these concepts are described. An important concept that can give a high degree of reusability as well as tailorability is generality. Object-oriented languages give good support for expressing generality. The techniques discussed in this paper have been developed during the construction of the Mjølner BETA System. Some of them are of general (language independent) character but a great part of the flexibility in the system is due to the BETA programming language. An exception handling technique is presented as a special kind of tailoring. A general communication model supporting integration and tailorability of software components is presented.
