In recent years, the application of embedded technology and configuration technology in industrial control is more and more widely. The embedded configuration software which is combined of embedded and configuration has become the inevitable trend in industrial control field. Real-time database system as the core of embedded configuration software, the organizational structure whether reasonabl...

Due to its potential to greatly accelerate a wide variety of applications, reconfigurable computing has become a subject of a great deal of research. By mapping the compute-intensive sections of an application to reconfigurable hardware, custom computing systems exhibit significant speedups over traditional microprocessors. However, this potential acceleration is limited by the requirement that...

This paper represents a modified datapath merging technique to amortize the configuration latency of mapping datapaths on reconfigurable fabric in Run-Time Reconfigurable Systems (RTR). This method embeds together the different Data Flow Graphs (DFGs), corresponding to the loop kernels to create a single datapath (merged datapath) instead of multiple datapaths. The DFGs are merged in steps wher...

Current developments in Germany have led to severe consequences for the configuration of working times of medical and nursing personnel in hospitals. They underline the necessity to arrange work processes and personnel employment as efficiently as possible. In this context, the current project „Process Optimization and Efficient Personnel Employment in Hospitals“ has set the goal of developing ...

Current technology trends point towards both an increased heterogeneity in hardware platforms and an increase in the mechanisms available to applications for controlling how these platforms are utilized. These trends motivate the design of resource-aware distributed applications, which proactively monitor and control utilization of the underlying platform, ensuring a desired performance level b...

Cognitive radios CR have the ability to dynamically adapt to local spectrum availability. In a network comprised of CR-enabled devices, layerauto-configuration involves determining a common set of channels also referred to as the global channel set to facilitate communication among participating nodes. This is a unique challenge as nodes in the CR network are unaware of (a) their neighbors and ...

This paper investigates placing the time-history events of a project related folder produced by a project team in a virtual linear spatial configuration, in order to reveal the usually hidden relationships between separate strings of information. We demonstrate the possibility of exploring the history of the events that have taken place on documents in a project folder, as various members make ...

Large-scale information systems emerging in challenging application fields must meet the high standards of reliability, maintainability, and service interruption bound requirements. Their operations are entirely, or partially, of the distributed real-time data object manipulation type. A new architecture for such systems is presented in this paper. The original aspects of the architecture are m...

Distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems are increasingly being constructed with commercialoff-the-shelf (COTS) components to reduce development time and effort. The configuration of these components must ensure that real-time quality-of-service (QoS) and resource constraints are satisfied. Due to the numerous QoS constraints that must be met, manual system configuration is hard. Model-...

This paper proposes a strategy to manage the schedulability of realtime component-based applications that is fully compatible with the concept of component viewed as a reusable and opaque software module. The strategy is used on top of the RT-CCM technology, which extends the OMG’s LwCCM technology with the purpose of building real-time distributed component-based applications that can be execu...
