Real-time and embedded systems operate in constrained environments in which memory and processing power are limited. They must provide their services within strict time deadlines to their users and to ...

Embedded systems use dedicated computers or microprocessors to control or monitor a process. A simple example is when an application program inserts embedded printing commands into a document to ...

During the next few years, the technology needed to meet NextGen requirements will be added to aircraft cockpits already bristling with advanced systems. As it is doing now for many safety-critical ...

Wind River Systems, the leading provider of a realtime embedded operating system known as VxWorks, for example, unveiled this week its first reselling agreement with semiconductor distributor the ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Discuss embedded automotive standards, and OSEK/VDX pops up. So, it's no surprise Accelerated Technology's new royalty-free Nucleus OSEK Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) meets the latest OSEK 2.2 ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

Over the course of the past decade, the evolution of advanced low-energy microcontrollers has raised three questions which this paper outlines and addresses. The first question is: Can a 32-bit ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...
