Multitasking in Embedded System Designs

Verification of Component-based Embedded System Designs

MBEDDED SYSTEMS are becoming increasingly common in our everyday lives. As technology progresses, these systems become more and more complex. Designers handle this increasing complexity by reusing existing components. At the same time, the systems must fulfill strict functional and non-functional requirements. This thesis presents novel and efficient techniques for the verification of component...

Timed Multitasking for Real-Time Embedded Software

Software in real-time embedded systems differs fundamentally from its desktop or Internet counterparts. Embedded computing is not simply computation on small devices. In most control applications, for example, embedded software engages the physical world. It reacts to physical and user-interaction events, performs computation on limited and competing resources, and produces results that further...

Case Studies of Model Checking for Embedded System Designs

As modern embedded systems become more integrated and complex, it is crucial to be able to represent systems at multiple levels of abstraction, so that the design space can be effectively explored by successive refinements and abstractions. In this paper, we present a formal verification methodology and case studies for property verification of designs represented at different abstraction level...

Analysis and Implementation of DVFS Techniques in a Multitasking Embedded System CSE 237 a Final Project

A key concern in embedded systems today is power consumption. Increasing demands for longer battery life and heating issues associated with power have led researchers to develop new ways to reduce power and energy consumption in embedded systems. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) techniques are used to dynamically alter the voltage and frequency levels of the CPU to the lowest possib...
