As CANs (controller area networks) are being increasingly used in safety-critical
applications, there is a need for accurate predictions of failure probability. In this paper we …

We present a guardian-based approach to detecting'babbling idiots', faulty nodes which
erroneously consume extra resource in an event triggered system. In general, one cannot …

Sensor-based driver assistance systems often have a safety-related role in modern
automotive designs. In this paper we argue that the current generation of “Hardware in the …

This paper discusses aspects of dependability of real-time communication. In particular, we
consider timing behaviour under fault conditions for Controller Area Network (CAN) and the …

Distributed embedded control systems play an increasing role in modern automotive
designs and there is a pressing need to investigate the impact of different design decisions …

Nowadays operating systems are inseparable part of computer systems. Real-time
operating systems (RTOS) are a special kind of operating systems that their main goal is to …

The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, an improvement to a previously published
paper on the timing analysis of controller area network (CAN) in the presence of transient …

General-purpose I/O widely exists on multi-and many-core systems. For real-time
applications, I/O operations are often required to be timing-predictable, ie, bounded in the …

Abstract THE ROLE OF THE COMMUNICATIONS BUS is fundamental in distributed real-
time control systems. Such systems are increasingly used for critical functions in avionics …

Manufacturing advances throughout the last decade have led to a steady increase in the
capacity of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGAs). This development has in turn triggered …
