Formal techniques have been widely applied in the design of real-time systems and have significantly helped detect design errors by checking real-time properties of the model. Ho...
This paper describes a design methodology for the estimation of bus performance of a tuplespace for factory automation. The need of a tuplespace is motivated by the characteristic...

Modeling systems based on semi-formal graphical formalisms, such as Statecharts, have become standard practice in the design of reactive embedded devices. Statecharts are often mor...
Most of today’s real-time embedded systems consist of a heterogeneous mix of fully-programmable processors, fixed-function components or hardware accelerators, and partially-pr...
