We present a framework that will enable scalable analysis and design of graceful degradation in distributed embedded systems. We define graceful degradation in terms of utility. A...
Most recent embedded systems use caches to improve their average performance. Current timing analyses are able to compute safe timing guarantees for these systems, if tasks are ru...
In examining software maintenance processes for improvement opportunities, an obvious choice is information flow. Obtaining accurate, up-to-date, and useful information about a sy...
— The share of software in embedded systems has been growing permanently in the recent years. Thus, software architecture as well as its evaluation have become important parts of...
Originally, the hierarchical coding structure was proposed to achieve temporal scalability. Soon after, it was realized that with a proper quantization parameter cascading (QPC) s...
