Over 90 percent of all microprocessors are now used for realtime and embedded applications. Since the behavior of these applications is often constrained by the physical world, it...
—Most analysis methods for real-time systems assume that all the components of the system are at roughly the same stage of development and can be expressed in a single notation, ...

We introduce PLC-Automata as a new class of automata which are tailored to deal with real-time properties of Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). These devices are often used in...
Structured program editors can lower the entry barrier for beginning computer science students by preventing syntax errors. However, when editors force programs to be executable a...
Abstract. This paper describes a laboratory equipped for the teaching of realtime systems. The laboratory has been built around a Digital Model Railroad Platform and it allows the ...
