— Low energy consumption is a critical issue in embedded systems design. As the technology feature sizes of SoC (Systems on Chip) become smaller and smaller, the percentage of le...
The objective of this paper is to introduce dependability as an optimization criterion in the system-level design process of embedded systems. Given the pervasiveness of embedded ...
In this paper we present a software tool for the simulation of distributed real-time embedded systems. Our tool is based on the popular NS-2 package for simulating the networking ...
As FPGA-based systems including soft processors become increasingly common, we are motivated to better understand the architectural trade-offs and improve the efficiency of these...
We address power minimization of earliest deadline first and ratemonotonic schedules by voltage and frequency scaling. We prove that the problems are NP-hard, and present (1+ ) f...
