The Internet of Things (IoT) gets real. Already today, there are more connected devices than humans. In order to leverage this trend platforms are required to enable building and operating of applications. In contrary, there is hardly any systematic research available that evaluates the capabilities of existing IoT platforms. This paper contributes to the understanding of the current IoT platfo...

Embedded systems are an appealing application domain for reconfigurable System-on-Chip (rSoC) technology. However, rSoC design is inherently a complex task with enormous freedom in design parameters such as processor, operating system, and backplane buses. Design efficiency can potentially be improved by the use of an rSoC platform which constrains these choices, and allows new designs to lever...

Payouts play an important role in the relationship between shareholders and agents in terms of rewarding the decisions of shareholders. Previous studies have observed that payout decisions appear in different ways depending on an industry's financial and operating structures. Since the airline industry has been characterized as high debt dependency, this study presumes distinctive characteristi...

As embedded system designs become increasingly more complex, the use of real-time operating systems (RTOS) becomes essential to meet time-to-market pressures and to contain non-recurring engineering costs. However, an RTOS consumes precious CPU cycles in return for the services it provides. Further, the RTOS is typically treated as a pure software entity and is subject only to minor adaptations...

There is a critical and urgent need for automated analytical agents operating in complex domains to provide meta-level explanations of their reasoning and conclusions. In this paper, we identify the principles for designing analytical agents that can explain their reasoning and justify their conclusions at different levels of abstractions to potential human customers with varying goals. We also...

We study the leverage of firms making large dividend increases. Over the five years following the dividend increase they raise leverage enough to finance the entire dividend increase for that period with debt. This is not explained by trade-off variables or the pecking order. The effect is greatest for big firms with low-powered incentives, suggesting an agency effect whereby they make large di...
