Fast networks and low-cost processors are making distributed systems for real-time applications attractive from a simple cost-of-goods perspective. However, the complexity of the communications code ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...

If you listen to enough conference talks, vendor pitches, and analyst pronouncements, you can be forgiven for assuming every organization on the planet now can sense and respond, in real time, to ...

This paper describes an FPGA and Matlab-based hybrid solution dedicated for real-time communication tests. The main idea is to use an FPGA-based RT Ethernet device for simulation of communication ...

We consider that the protection is achieved through a temporal- and space-partitioning scheme similar to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA). At the processing-level, we have proposed an optimization ...
