Networked control systems (NCSs) have been one of the main research focuses in
academia as well as in industry for many decades and have become a multidisciplinary …

The question whether preemptive algorithms are better than nonpreemptive ones for
scheduling a set of real-time tasks has been debated for a long time in the research …

A growing number of industrial applications incorporate multimedia information processing.
These multimedia applications are commonly distributed and subject to time constraints that …

This paper presents different multiprocessor implementations of the proportional-integral-
derivative (PID) controller using two technologies: 1) field programmable gate array (FPGA) …

This paper presents a prototype laboratory experiment to be integrated in the education of
embedded control system engineers. The experiment, a real-time control of a dynamical …

It is well-known that faster sampling increases computational load but gives better
performance. Multiplexed Model Predictive Control (MMPC) has been proposed recently. Its …

In this thesis, control algorithms are studied that are tailored for platforms with limited
computation and communication resources. The interest in such control algorithms is …

Next generation applications will demand more cost-effective programming abstractions to
reduce increasing maintenance and development costs. In this context, the article explores …

This paper gives introspection to the concept of the Ethon–holonomic drive based mobile
robot. Nowadays the mobile robots are widely spread at the industrial and the service …

Embedded control systems are subject to conflicting demands: end-users ask for devices
with better capabilities while strong industrial competition impose tight cost constrains that …
