The proliferation of multicore processors has done more than provide a boost in processing power to server applications. Multicore chips also pose the opportunity to revolutionize how embedded systems ...

As more complex devices with higher levels of integration are inserted into real-time systems, traditional testing methods are becoming obsolete. The most difficult obstacle to thorough testing of ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

In the beginning, real-time operating systems (RTOSs) were primarily used in military, aerospace, and high-end industrial control applications. This has changed dramatically as low-cost, fast, and ...

Real-time systems and embedded computing have become foundational to modern engineering, underpinning applications from industrial automation and automotive control to aerospace and telecommunications ...

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.

Designing an embedded system with security in mind has become necessary for many industries. The drive to connect a device to the internet allows remote attacks on the system. Developers who want to ...
