Coordination of Safety-Critical Mobile Real-Time Embedded Systems

چکیده
Safety-critical mobile applications running on resource-constrained embedded systems will play an increasingly important role in domains such as automotive systems, space, robotics and avionics. Such applications are composed of mobile autonomous components interacting spontaneously without any infrastructure. Therefore, to undertake safety-critical missions, the applications will have to coordinate the behaviour of their components in real-time, while overcoming the limitations of (ad hoc) wireless communication. In this paper, we outline the key research challenges to be addressed in order to achieve such real-time coordination.

Reliable Real-Time Communication in Cooperative Mobile Applications
Embedded systems are expected to provide increasingly complex and safety-critical services that will, sooner or later, require the cooperation of several such systems for their fulfillment. In particular, coordinating the access to shared physical and information technological resources will become a general problem. Examples are mobile robots in industrial automation or car-to-car coordination...

متن کاملReal-Time Coordination Patterns for Advanced Mechatronic Systems
Innovation in today’s mechanical systems is often only possible due to the embedded software. Particularly, the software connects previously isolated systems resulting in, so-called, advanced mechatronic systems. Mechatronic systems are often employed in a safety-critical context, where hazards that are caused by faults in the software have to be prevented. Preferably, this is achieved by alrea...
متن کاملResilience Enhancement of Active Distribution Networks Via Mobile Energy Storage Systems and Protection Coordination Consideration
Owing to the portability and flexibility of mobile energy storage systems (MESSs), they seem to be a promising solution to improve the resilience of the distribution system (DS). So, this paper presents a rolling optimization mechanism for dispatching MESSs and other resources in microgrids in case of a natural disaster occurrence. The proposed mechanism aims to minimize the total system cost b...
