One of the main issues that inhibit the development of contextaware mobile applications is the lack of systematic methods for sensor data acquisition. This lack, however, is a res...
Interrupts are important aspects of real-time embedded systems to handle events in time. When there exist nested interrupts in a real-time system, and an urgent interrupt is allow...
Detecting software architecture inconsistencies is a critical issue in software design. Software systems are described in terms of components, component behavior and interaction a...
The present paper investigates the influence of the execution history on the precision of measurementbased execution time estimates for embedded software. A new approach to timing...
: Nowadays, software evolution is a very hot topic. It is particularly complex when it regards critical and nonstopping systems. Usually, these situations are tackled by hard-codin...
