For a significant number of electronic systems used in safety-critical applications circuit testing is performed periodically. For these systems, power dissipation due to BuiltIn Self Test (BIST) can represent a significant percentage of the overall power dissipation. One possible solution to address this problem consists of test pattern reordering with the purpose of reducing the amount of pow...

One important field of application for embedded realtime systems is in the telecommunications industry. The first phase of the E-CARES reengineering project concerned the architecture modeling and the reverse engineering of telecommunication systems implemented in the programming language PLEX. Now, we study the restructuring of such systems including their re-design and re-implementation. This...
