We show the difficulties that arise for the implementation of a real-time garbage collector in a multi-threaded system. A mechanism for synchronization between threads and the gar...
It is well known that the extensive use of preprocessors can lead to serious maintenance problems. However, these tools are still heavily used by developers and maintainers to imp...
We consider a switch module routing problem for symmetric array FPGAs. The work is motivated by two applications. The rst is that of eciently evaluating switch module designs [8]...
In a multi-agent system (MAS), the agents are often considered to be autonomous entities, such as robots or software programs, each under the influence of a local rule, representin...
Strong unit testing is the foundation of agile software development but embedded systems present special problems. Test of embedded software is bound up with test of hardware, cro...
