At runtime, an embedded control system can switch between alternative functional modes. In each mode, the system operates by using a schedule and controllers that exploit the avai...
In the design of hard real-time systems, the feasibility of the task set is one of the primary concerns. However, in embedded systems with scarce resources, optimizing resource us...
The ongoing scaling of semiconductor technology is causing severe increase of on-chip power density and temperature in microprocessors. This has raised urgent requirement for both...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is arguably the most effective energy reduction technique. The multiple-voltage DVS systems, which can operate only at pre-determined discrete voltag...
This paper presents an approach for dynamic software reconfiguration in sensor networks. Our approach utilizes explicit models of the design space of the embedded application. The...
