In a world of pervasive computing, embedded systems can be found in a wide range of products and are employed in various heterogeneous domains. The abovementioned devices often need to access, store, manipulate and/or communicate sensitive or even critical information, making the security of their resources and services an important concern in their design process. These issues are further exac...

Embedded systems are critical components of our everyday lives, be they in control systems like airbag controllers in cars, or in consumer products like washing machines and phones. Since such electronic products evolve to software intensive systems, software, becoming larger, more complex and prevalent, poses severe problems in the development of those systems. The required degree of dependabi...

The most interesting point however of a model driven approach is the ability to continuously map the model from a platform independent model to (a) more platform specific model(s) through model transformations. This may be performed eithervertically meaning here development of the model or horizontally meaning mapping the model to a different (or supporting) modeling aspect, eg: structural to t...

Open the file Makefile. This file contains all information necessary to build the project. Makefiles define build goals, which can be run using the command make. The default build goal is called all. make supports many helpful macros which simplify the build definition. $(wildcard *.c) defines a list of all .c files in the current directory. $(addprefix build/,$(SRC:.c=.o)) adds a prefix to eac...

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...

A version control system helps multiple developers working on the same code base. It keeps copies of previous code versions, which is helpful for debugging and software change analysis. It also allows to merge concurrent edits of text files. We use the version control system git for our tutorial. Download and install git from http://git-scm.com/download/mac. Switch to the directory ex-03/git-re...

Computation of the meteorological parameters in airport environment is a more difficult task than it may appear -at first. This work contributes with a practical description to describe this question when embedded systems are available. It is based on the author’s experience as system designers and in international rules from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Sensors embedde...
