Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...

Embedded systems and networking are high-growth fields. Where they meet--in distributed embedded systems--there's a world of opportunity for new approaches. Just a few in the long list of applications ...

A fact of life in today's embedded systems is the increasingly distributed nature and complexity of the designs: multiple processor nodes on a network, multiple servers in a cluster, multiple ...

Proper safeguarding of safety-critical systems in an automotive environment cannot be ensured sufficiently without taking timing into consideration. The failure to observe timing constraints can lead ...

Real-time scheduling algorithms determine the order and timing with which tasks execute in embedded systems subject to stringent timing constraints. These algorithms seek to guarantee that critical ...
