For real-time applications, it is necessary to estimate the worst-case performance early in the design process without actual hardware implementation. While the non-preemptive task...
We have implemented an aspect of learning and memory in the nervous system using analog electronics. Using a simple synaptic circuit we realize networks with Hebbian type adaptati...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
Live heap space analyses have so far been concerned with the standard sequential programming model. However, that model is not very well suited for embedded real-time systems, wher...
