Embedded control systems are becoming ubiquitous in control applications. They combine the properties of computer embedded system with newly designed complex controllers where flexible, safe and reconfigurable operations are required. The aim of this paper is to grasp the main features of these systems, analyse the main problems and present some solutions already developed by the authors. A new...

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a connectivity specification that provides ease of use, expandability, and good performance for the end user. It is one of the most successful interconnects in computer history. Originally released in 1995 for PCs, it now is expanding into use by embedded systems and is replacing older interfaces such as serial and parallel interfaces as the preferred communication...

This paper reports two senior-level design projects in electronic and computer engineering study programs. The projects involve the design, development and construction of model robots using embedded controllers and microprocessors. The teaching technique not only motivates the students to develop a thorough understanding of the embedded controllers and microprocessors, but also helps them in t...

T-Engine is a standard architecture for next generation real-time embedded systems for ubiquitous computing to improve software productivity of these systems. This paper introduces the basic design philosophy of T-Engine, and overview of its standard hardware and software specifications. By now, several computer vendors have released more than ten hardware systems based on the T-Engine specific...

Thank you for reading code optimization techniques for embedded processors methods algorithms and tools. Maybe you have knowledge that, people have look numerous times for their favorite novels like this code optimization techniques for embedded processors methods algorithms and tools, but end up in infectious downloads. Rather than enjoying a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, in...

Increased Automation in the manufacturing sector with the introduction of low cost embedded systems and servo drives has resulted in a substantial increase in the precision and speed of packaged goods output. This increase in speed has rendered manual verification incapable to keep up. Recent developments in the area of computer vision and embedded computing has allowed for replacement of tradi...

This poster presents a sequence mining analysis of collaborative game-based learning for middle school computer science. Using pre-post test results, dyads were categorized into three groups based on learning gains. We then built first-order Markov models for the gameplay sequences. The models perform well for embedded assessment, classifying gameplay sequences with 95% accuracy according to wh...

In many situations, embedded menus represent an attractive alternative to the more traditional explicit menus, particularly in touchtext, spelling checkers, language-based program editors, and graphics-based systems. When compared to command driven systems, computer menu systems are appealing because they reduce memorization of commands, reduce training, and structure the user's decision making...

To most people, embedded systems are not recognizable as computers. Instead, they are hidden inside everyday objects that surround us and help us in our lives. Embedded systems typically do not interface with the outside world through familiar personal computer interface devices such as a mouse, keyboard and graphic user interface. Instead, they interface with the outside world through unusual ...

This paper deals with putting into practice a concept of Remote Service Applications for embedded systems. Remote Service is a merger of remote diagnosis, maintenance, controlling and monitoring. This concept focuses on three important aspects: Distribution, Minimum Modification of Embedded Devices and Component-based Development. The distribution of Remote Service Applications of several compu...
