Comfortable software engineering tools are being developed that allow a more functionality-oriented development of embedded systems. This paper demonstrates how WCET analysis is integrated into such a high-level application design and simulation tool – Matlab/Simulink – thus providing a higher-level interface to WCET analysis. The Matlab/Simulink extensions compute and display worst-case timing...

The aim of this paper is to present a flexible and versatile environment for developing, analyzing and prototyping data communication and signal processing systems. This environment is based on the Matlab/Simulink tools and a reconfigurable hardware platform that includes reprogrammable and digital processing circuits. The hardware platform communicates with the Matlab workspace via a dynamic d...

Matlab is a powerful software development tool and can dramatically reduce the programming workload during the period of algorithm development and theory research. Unfortunately, most of commercial robot simulators do not support Matlab. This paper presents a Matlab-based simulator for algorithm development of 2D indoor robot navigation. It provides a simple user interface for constructing robo...

Despite the large offer of software products available for MATLAB, none of its toolboxes provides instruments able to handle Petri net models. It is the purpose of our paper to present several types of problems formulated for such models, which are approached in MATLAB. The treatment does not use the primary resources of the MATLAB environment, but exploits the facilities of a toolbox with a fu...

A new educational power electronics laboratory based on state-of-the-art tools and industrial-grade platforms is presented in this paper. The developed laboratory, which is built based upon prior theoretical knowledge and background of the students in power electronics, combines the sophisticated Texas Instruments (TI)’s hardware tools with MATLAB/Simulink software tools to design, test, and ra...

This review-paper focuses on the latest development of modelling and control of grid connected photovoltaic energy conversion system. Modelling of photovoltaic systems include modelling of SPV array, power electronics inverter/converter based on MATLAB/SIMULINK. This present control algorithm of a three-phase and single phase grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) system including the PV array and th...

Many gene selection algorithms have been applied in gene expression data analysis successfully. To solve different developing environments of these toolkits, such as rankgene (Su et al., 2003), and mRMR (http://research.janelia.org/peng/proj/mrmr/index.htm), perform data analysis and make algorithm comparison more flexible, we have developed a software package LIBGS including: 1) Seven new gene...

This article presents a few different methods to present a passive walker model in Adams MD R3 software and compares their simulation results to a walker model built in Matlab software. The discontinuous Matlab simulator applies manually entered mathematical equations to describe system dynamics while the Adams simulation software creates the dynamic models automatically. In the Adams simulator...

─ This paper presents a new method to model inhomogeneous media in commercial electromagnetics software, especially FEKO. In this method, the inhomogeneous medium is fragmented to some homogeneous pieces. If the size of these pieces is chosen correctly, then the electromagnetic behaviors of them and inhomogeneous medium are the same. Since creating these homogeneous pieces in FEKO manually is v...

Software estimation accuracy is among the greatest challenges for software developers. Software development effort estimation is one of the most major activities in software project management. A number of models have been proposed to make software effort estimations but still no single model can predict the effort accurately. The need for accurate effort estimation in software industry is stil...
