Embedded Computing Technology for Highly-demanding Cyber-physical Systems

Autonomic Computing Framework for Cyber-Physical Systems

The more systems are becoming to be controlled by computing devices. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are expected to be an alternative to the traditional control systems. However, there are several problems to adopt CPS since they cannot adapt to changes in environment and system failures. Autonomic computing concept is widely applied to enable systems to adapt changes at runtime. In this paper we...

Highly configurable platforms for embedded computing systems

Platform chips, which are pre-designed chips possessing numerous processors, memories, coprocessors, and field-programmable gates arrays, are becoming increasingly popular. Platforms eliminate the costs and risks associated with creating customized chips, but with the drawbacks of poorer performance and energy consumption. Making platforms highly configurable, so they can be tuned to the partic...

Cyber-Physical Systems - Are Computing Foundations Adequate?

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation with physical processes. Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes, usually with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa. In the physical world, the passage of time is inexorable and concurrency is intrinsic. Neither of these properties is present in today’s computing...

Multicore Enablement for Embedded and Cyber Physical Systems

This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 13052 “Multicore Enablement for Embedded and Cyber Physical Systems”. During the seminar the participants from industry and academia actively discussed chances and problems of multicore processors in embedded in cyber-physical systems. The focus of the seminar was on the exchange of experiences and discussion of the challeng...
