A fact of life in today's embedded systems is the increasingly distributed nature and complexity of the designs: multiple processor nodes on a network, multiple servers in a cluster, multiple ...

Embedded systems and networking are high-growth fields. Where they meet--in distributed embedded systems--there's a world of opportunity for new approaches. Just a few in the long list of applications ...

Real-time system designers and embedded software developers are veryfamiliar with the tools and techniques for designing, developing anddebugging standalone or loosely coupled embedded systems. UML ...

As every aspect of computer design becomes increasingly dependent on the effective performance and interaction of distributed processors, it is clear that as much effort needs to be focused on ...

Proper safeguarding of safety-critical systems in an automotive environment cannot be ensured sufficiently without taking timing into consideration. The failure to observe timing constraints can lead ...

Scientists have developed new methods and tools for the development of embedded systems. The aircraft, car, industrial automation, electronics and telecommunications industries in particular can ...

Embedded controllers of all sizes and capabilities are ubiquitous today, though rarely seen by consumers. Mobile handsets, for instance, contain as many as a dozen different embedded devices ...

Our research area includes the groups "Embedded Systems (EmbSys)", "Parallel and Distributed Systems (PVS)", and "Computer Networks and Network Security (NetSec)". We focus on enhancing the safety, ...

USB 2.0, about forty times faster than conventional USB, makes its debut in Linux 2.6. The high speed USB devices support device bandwidth of up to 480 megabits per second, compared to 12 mbit/sec of ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.
