Performance analysis plays an increasingly important role in the design of embedded real-
time systems. Time-to-market pressure in this domain is high while the available …

Energy harvesting has recently emerged as a feasible option to increase the operating time
of sensor networks. If each node of the network, however, is powered by a fluctuating energy …

During the past few years there has been an dramatic upsurge in research and
development, implementations of new technologies, and deployments of actual solutions …

This paper investigates real-time scheduling in a system whose energy reservoir is
replenished by an environmental power source. The execution of tasks is deemed primarily …

Considered a standard industry resource, the Embedded Systems Handbook provided
researchers and technicians with the authoritative information needed to launch a wealth of …

The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component
interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a …

Today's wireless sensor networks (WSN) focus on energy-efficiency as the main metric to
optimize. However, an increasing number of scenarios where sensor networks are …

This research demonstrates a novel design of an FPGA-implemented task scheduler for real-
time systems that supports both aperiodic and periodic tasks. The periodic tasks are …

The Real-Time Calculus (RTC) framework proposed in [Chakraborty et al., DATE 2003] and
subsequently extended in [Wandeler et al., Real-Time Systems 29 (2-3), 2005] and a …

Integrating applications with different safety requirements on a common platform requires
either certification of all applications to the highest safety level or" sufficient independence" …
