Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...

A fact of life in today's embedded systems is the increasingly distributed nature and complexity of the designs: multiple processor nodes on a network, multiple servers in a cluster, multiple ...

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...

Embedded systems and networking are high-growth fields. Where they meet--in distributed embedded systems--there's a world of opportunity for new approaches. Just a few in the long list of applications ...

Scientists have developed new methods and tools for the development of embedded systems. The aircraft, car, industrial automation, electronics and telecommunications industries in particular can ...

In the industrial and consumer worlds, the term “remote monitoring” might refer to distributed surveillance video networks, or distance-based control of HVAC and alarm systems for a smart home.

As every aspect of computer design becomes increasingly dependent on the effective performance and interaction of distributed processors, it is clear that as much effort needs to be focused on ...

Proper safeguarding of safety-critical systems in an automotive environment cannot be ensured sufficiently without taking timing into consideration. The failure to observe timing constraints can lead ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, ...
