Riassunto

Embedded computer systems are now everywhere: from alarm clocks to PDAs, from mobile phones to cars, almost all the devices we use are controlled by embedded computers. An important class of embedded computer systems is that of hard real-time systems, which have to fulfill strict timing requirements. As real-time systems become more complex, they are often implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures.

Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems addresses the design of real-time applications implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures. The systems are heterogeneous not only in terms of hardware components, but also in terms of communication protocols and scheduling policies. Regarding this last aspect, time-driven and event-driven systems, as well as a combination of the two, are considered. Such systems are used in many application areas like automotive electronics, real-time multimedia, avionics, medical equipment, and factory systems. The proposed analysis and synthesis techniques derive optimized implementations that fulfill the imposed design constraints. An important part of the implementation process is the synthesis of the communication infrastructure, which has a significant impact on the overall system performance and cost.

Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems considers the mapping and scheduling tasks within an incremental design process. To reduce the time-to-market of products, the design of real-time systems seldom starts from scratch. Typically, designers start from an already existing system, running certain applications, and the design problem is to implement new functionality on top of this system. Supporting such an incremental design process provides a high degree of flexibility, and can result in important reductions of design costs.

Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and designers involved in the field of embedded systems.

Informazioni sull'autore

Paul Pop is a professor at DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). He has received his Ph.D. degree in computer systems from Linkoping University in 2003. His main research interests are in the area of system-level design of embedded systems. He has published extensively in this area, and has received the best paper award at the DATE 2005, RTiS 2007, CASES 2009 and MECO 2013 conferences and the EDAA Outstanding Dissertations Award (co-supervisor) in 2011. Since 2008 he has also addressed Computer-Aided Design methods for biochips. His work in this area has received the best paper award at the CASES 2009 conference. He has co-organized and participated in tutorials and special sessions on CAD for biochips at conferences such as SOCC 2011, ESWEEK 2011, EMBC 2015 and ETS 2015.
