Packet switched networks and message multiplexing have been a major upgrade for
industrial systems communications. In the avionics domain, this evolution was brought by …

The construction of a design model is a critical phase in RTS development as the choices
made have a direct impact on timing aspects. In traditional model-based approaches, the …

This paper proposes a method for the derivation of end-to-end delays of applications that
involve processing on multiple components in a heterogeneous multiprocessor system. The …

In this paper, we are interested in real-time flows requiring quantitative and deterministic
Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. We focus more particularly on two QoS parameters: the …

The complexity of embedded application design is increasing with growing user demands.
In particular, automotive embedded systems are highly complex in nature, and their …

The AFDX (Avionics Full DupleX Switched Ethernet) is the backbone network of most
modern civilian aircraft. For certification reasons, a guaranteed upper bound has to be …

Because battery-powered nodes are required in wireless sensor networks and energy
consumption represents an important design consideration, alternate energy sources are …

Work on real-time hand-gesture recognition for SAVI (stereo active vision interface) is
presented. Based on the detection of frontal faces, image regions near the face are …

The demands for high performance computing with a low cost and low power consumption
are driving a transition towards multi-core processors in many consumer and industrial …

Schedulability theory provides support for the analysis of the worst case latencies in
distributed computations when the architecture of the system is known and the …
