چکیده

Software engineering requires creativity, thorough design and analysis, and sound design decisions. Design decisions often have tradeoffs and implications associated with them. Therefore, it is important that design decisions are based on sound analysis. With respect to embedded systems, key drivers are often performance and cost. Thus the purpose of this paper is to describe an approach to aid in the design decision process on cost and performance tradeoffs for embedded systems. Specifically, it presents a modeldriven approach to understand and communicate the performance-cost tradeoff.

Effects of Project Uncertainties on Nonlinear Time-Cost Tradeoff Profile

This study presents the effects of project uncertainties on nonlinear time-cost tradeoff (TCT) profile of real life engineering projects by the fusion of fuzzy logic and artificial neural network (ANN) models with hybrid meta-heuristic (HMH) technique, abridged as Fuzzy-ANN-HMH. Nonlinear time-cost relationship of project activities is dealt with ANN models. ANN models are then integrated with ...

A New Mathematical Approach based on Conic Quadratic Programming for the Stochastic Time-Cost Tradeoff Problem in Project Management

In this paper, we consider a stochastic Time-Cost Tradeoff Problem (TCTP) in PERT networks for project management, in which all activities are subjected to a linear cost function and assumed to be exponentially distributed. The aim of this problem is to maximize the project completion probability with a pre-known deadline to a predefined probability such that the required additional cost is min...

Two Iterative Metaheuristic Approaches to Dynamic Memory Allocation for Embedded Systems

Electronic embedded systems designers aim at finding a tradeoff between cost and power consumption. As cache memory management has been shown to have a significant impact on power consumption, this paper addresses dynamic memory allocation for embedded systems with a special emphasis on time performance. In this work, time is split into time intervals, into which the application to be implement...

RED: A Reconfigurable Datapath

The popularity that certain applications such as mobile telephony or mp3 audio reproduction have gained lately, has made it possible the increase in the number and complexity of embedded systems. Depending on the tradeoffs performance/flexibility/cost, several architectures that range from ASIPs to fullcustom computing machines, based on reconfigurable logic, are being used. Here, what we propo...

A Software Framework for Energy and Performance Tradeoff in Fixed-Priority Hard Real-Time Embedded Systems

A dynamic energy performance scaling (DEPS) framework is proposed to save energy in fixed-priority hard real-time embedded systems. In this generalized framework, two existing technologies, i.e., dynamic hardware resource configuration (DHRC) and dynamic voltage frequency scaling (DVFS) can be combined for energy performance tradeoff. The problem of selecting the optimal hardware configuration ...
