Streamlining Development for Networked Embedded Systems Using Multiple Paradigms

Prototyping Networked Embedded Systems

Networked Embedded Systems

Ten years after the Internet revolution are we standing on the brink of another revolution: networked embedded systems that connect the physical world with the computers, enabling new applications ranging from environmental monitoring and wildlife tracking to improvements in health care and medicine. Only 2% of all microprocessors that are sold today are used in PCs; the remaining 98% of all mi...

ORB Middleware Evolution for Networked Embedded Systems

Standards-based COTS middleware has been shown to be effective in meeting a range of functional and QoS requirements for distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems. Each standard makes limiting assumptions, often implicit, about the fundamental set of system capabilities and constraints typical of the domain to which the standard applies. When the characteristics of a particular class of ...

Challenges for Future Networked Embedded Systems

In this white paper we examine the direction research in embedded networks might take. We first discuss the technological drivers for the advent of ubiquitous computing and communication, which will spawn a myriad of networked embedded systems. Next we examine the nature of these networked systems in contrast to the classical telecommunication and data networks. We then argue that a number of n...

Constructing Reliable Architectures for Networked Embedded Systems

The area of wireless sensor networks had a huge impact on the research in various fields related to electricalengineering and computer science. Spatially distributed sensor nodes are used as a new kind of measurementinstruments to collect physical or environmental data. Much of this work was driven by the early vision ofSmartDust. One of the corner stones to achieve the required...
