In the ever increasing world of distributed systems, different middleware implementations can be compared qualitatively or quantitatively. Existing evaluation techniques are often...
While hardware caches are generally effective at improving application performance, they greatly complicate performance prediction. Slight changes in memory layout or data access p...
In recent years the Unified Modeling Language (UML) including its profiles gained increasing acceptance as a specification language for modeling real-time systems. It is crucia...
To ensure correctness and performance of real-time embedded systems, early evaluation of properties is needed. Based on design experience for real-time systems and using the conce...
This paper presents a general framework for analyzing and designing embedded systems with energy and timing requirements. A set of realistic assumptions is considered in the model...
