Process-oriented device driver development

Object-oriented Device Driver Programming

Operating systems should be made exible from their low-level system structures, to enable them to adapt to dynamic changes of the outer world. This paper proposes a methodology for making device drivers completely re-con gurable, by introducing objectoriented re ective programming into the low-level system structures of operating systems. We introduce concurrent objects and continuations as a b...

A Process Oriented Approach to USB Driver Development

Operating-systems are the core software component of many modern computer systems, ranging from small specialised embedded systems through to large distributed operating-systems. The demands placed upon these systems are increasingly complex, in particular the need to handle concurrency: to exploit increasingly parallel (multi-core) hardware; support increasing numbers of user and system proces...

Concurrent Object-Oriented Device Driver Programming in Apertos Operating System

This paper proposes a new approach of implementing low-level OS components, especially device drivers. We introduce the notion of concurrent objects into device driver programming. A device driver for every hardware device is implemented as independent concurrent objects. A device driver object has a single thread of control, so that mutual exclusion operations such as spl and semaphores are no...

Automatic Device Driver Synthesis

Modeling of the medical device development process.

Models are abstract representations of reality that are built, analyzed and manipulated to augment the understanding of that reality. They can either be mental or codified but, in both cases, they contribute to good decision-making by ensuring that the right people use the right information at the right time. In order to reduce time to market, companies commonly adopt product development proces...
