The lack of virtual memory protection is a serious source of unreliability in many embedded systems. Without the segment-level protection it provides, these systems are subject to...
In software development, resources for quality assurance are limited by time and by cost. In order to allocate resources effectively, managers need to rely on their experience bac...
Dynamic Fault Trees (DFT) extend standard fault trees by allowing the modeling of complex system components’ behaviors and interactions. Being a high level model and easy to use...
Multitasked real-time systems often employ caches to boost performance. However the unpredictable dynamic behavior of caches makes schedulability analysis of such systems difficul...
The speedup over a microprocessor that can be achieved by implementing some programs on an FPGA has been extensively reported. This paper presents an analysis, both quantitative a...
