Many of today’s embedded systems, such as wireless and portable devices rely heavily on the limited power supply. Therefore, energy efficiency becomes one of the major design con...
Minimizing energy consumption is an important issue in the design of real-time embedded systems. As many embedded systems are powered by rechargeable batteries, the goal is to ext...
Embedded systems are often subject to constraints that require determinism to ensure that task deadlines are met. Such systems are referred to as real-time systems. Schedulability...
The need for low-power multimedia processing is integral to portable and embedded devices such as cell phones, wireless terminals, multimedia handhelds and PDAs. The multimedia pr...
Many wireless sensor nodes (motes) interface with slow peripheral devices, requiring the processor to wait. These delays waste time, energy and power, which are valuable but limit...
