Autonomic Middleware for Automotive Embedded Systems
- 2009
-
In: Autonomic Communication. - Boston, MA : Springer US. - 9780387097527 ; , s. 169-210
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter describes DySCAS: an advanced autonomic platform-independent middleware framework for automotive embedded systems. The concepts and architecture are motivated and described in detail, focusing on the need for, and achievement of, high flexibility and automatic run-time reconfiguration. The design of the middleware is positioned with respect to the way it overcomes the specific technical, environmental, and performance challenges of the automotive domain. Self-management is achieved in terms of automatic configuration for context-aware behavior, resource-use efficiency, and self-healing to handle run-time detected faults. The self-management is governed by the use of policies distributed throughout the middleware components. The simulation techniques that have been used for extensive validation are described and some key results presented. A reference implementation is presented, illustrating the way in which the various concepts and mechanisms can be realized and orchestrated.

Towards a curricula for Cyber-Physical Systems
- 2014
-
In: Proceedings of the Workshop on Embedded Systems Education, WESE2014, New Delhi, India. - New York, NY, USA : ACM Digital Library. - 9781450330909
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems education faces several challenges as well as opportunities as every-"thing" becomes connected, and as technology development accelerates. Initiatives such as CDIO, as well as several other academic and industry initiatives to create new CPS programs illustrate strong interests and awareness of these challenges. We provide an overview of foreseen educational needs, existing state of the art in education and an analysis of the subject of CPS with the purpose of understanding the implications for education. The investigation points to key issues in curriculum design regarding balancing depth and breadth, theory and practices, academic and industrial needs, and core technical skills with complementary skills. Curricula in CPS could, if the right balance is achieved, educate CPS engineers of the future that are "ready to engineer".

How should Embedded Systems be taught? Experiences and snapshots from Swedish higher engineering education
- 2005
-
In: ACM SIGBED Review. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 1551-3688. ; 2:4, s. 34-39
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents results from a previously published analysis performed on the subject of embedded systems using a didactical approach together with some educational implications. To illustrate the didactical analysis, examples from embedded systems education at KTH in Sweden are given where an exemplifying selection and an interactive communication have been adopted in embedded systems related courses.The exemplifying selection means that education in embedded systems would benefit from teaching 'everything of something' rather than 'something of everything', that is, depth rather than width. The interactive communication strongly motivates experimental work, hands-on approaches and problem based learning in general.

Automatic allocation of safety integrity levels
- 2010
-
In: Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Critical Automotive applications. - New York : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781605589152 ; , s. 7-10
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In this paper, we describe a concept for the automatic allocationof general Safety Integrity Levels (SILs) to subsystems andcomponents of complex hierarchical networked architectures thatdeliver sets of safety critical functions. The concept is generic andcan be adapted to facilitate the safety engineering approachdefined in several standards that employ the concept of integrityor assurance levels including ISO 26262, the emergingautomotive safety standard. SIL allocation is facilitated by HiPHOPS,an automated safety analysis tool, and can be performed inthe context of development using EAST-ADL2, an automotivearchitecture description language. The process rationalizescomplex risk allocation and leads to optimal/economic allocationof SILs.

A quality of control architecture and codesign method
- 2004
-
In: Proc 10th Real time and embedded technology and applications symposium.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- An architecture and a method supportingcodesign of flexible computer control systems are proposedin this paper. We call this approach Quality of Controlto reflect the emphasis on control performance. Keycomponents of the architecture include negotiation to optimizeoverall quality, admission control, explicit specificationsof control characteristics and timing constraints,and on-line estimation of the control performance as afunction of the actual system timing. The purpose is togive flexibility in terms of scalability, maintainability,configurability and graceful degradation.
