Model Driven Engineering (MDE) and Component Based Software Development (CBSD)
are promising approaches to deal with the increasing complexity of Distributed Real-Time …

Currently, middleware for smart home networks with embedded and mobile devices are in
the focus of several investigations. In this paper, we propose a middleware for secure …

Embedded systems are being used in an ever growing number of applications, from
simplest toys to highly complex industrial, military and space systems. In [1], it is estimated …

We introduce the concept of database proxies intended to mitigate the gap between two
disjoint productivity-enhancing techniques: component based software engineering (CBSE) …

Considering security as an afterthought and adding security aspects to a system late in the
development process has now been realized to be an inefficient and bad approach to …

We propose to integrate a real-time database management system into the basic software of
the AUTOSAR component model. This integration can be performed without violating the …

AUTOSAR has been introduced as a remedy for the increasing complexity and rising costs
within automotive systems development. However, AUTOSAR does not provide sufficient …

Several decades ago, computer control systems known as Electric Control Units (ECUs)
were introduced to the automotive industry. Mechanical hardware units have since then …

We introduce the concept of database proxies capable of mitigating the gap between two
disjoint productivity-enhancing techniques: Component Based Software Engineering …

This thesis presents new data management techniques for run-time data in component-
based embedded real-time systems. These techniques enable data to be modeled …
