The Discipline of Embedded Systems Design

The Embedded Systems Design Challenge

We summarize some current trends in embedded systems design and point out some of their characteristics, such as the chasm between analytical and computational models, and the gap between safetycritical and best-effort engineering practices. We call for a coherent scientific foundation for embedded systems design, and we discuss a few key demands on such a foundation: the need for encompassing ...

CSEE4840: Embedded Systems Design

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Design of embedded control systems

The paper presents some guidelines supported by a case study of a design of a fault tolerant computer control system. It was devised and implemented as a laboratory platform for the 5th framework project IFATIS. Instead of the redundancy, in this project it is proposed to deal with faults by dynamic reconfiguration of the resources that are still viable after an in-

Computer Aided Embedded Systems Design

This paper gives an overview of the existing approaches to the hardware/software codesign of embedded systems. We discuss all the steps in the design trajectory. The common approach of adding dedicated hardware to accelerate the software (by way of a FPGA or ASIC coprocessor) is judged as not worth the effort. The multi-processor framework of ASIPs (application specific instruction set processo...
