Research on Topological Characteristic of Embedded Component Network

In order to characterize the architecture and hidden properties of embedded component system at the fine-grained level,a new viewpoint that the embedded component system with large scale could be studied as a large amount of components connected by the relationships.Thus the Embedded Component Network(ECN)was named.Then taking the eCos for an example,the experiment results confirm that the network exhibits some characteristics of small-world,scale-free and high-cohesion.As a result,a general measure of potential centrality and a new algorithm to identify important components in the ECN based on data field potential were proposed,which contribute to the quality measurement of embedded component system.
