Today, security can no longer be treated as a secondary issue in embedded and cyber-physical systems. Therefore, one of the main challenges in these domains is the design of secure embedded systems under stringent resource constraints and real-time require ...
In most robotic and biomedical applications, the interest for real-time embedded systems with tactile ability has been growing. For example in prosthetics, a dedicated portable system is needed for developing wearable devices. The main challenges for such ...
With the omnipresence of embedded processing in all forms of electronics today, there is a strong trend towards wireless, battery-powered, portable embedded systems which have to operate under stringent energy constraints. Consequently, low power consumpti ...
With the emergence of wearable and non-intrusive med- ical devices, one major challenge is the real-time analysis of the acquired signals in real-life and ambulatory con- ditions. This paper presents a lightweight algorithm for on-line heart beat classific ...
When it comes to performance, embedded systems share many problems with their higher-end counterparts. The growing gap between top processor frequency and memory access speed, the memory wall, is one such problem. Driven, in part, by low energy consumption ...
Embedded systems play an increasing role in our society. From consumer electronics to driving assistance in cars, from medical devices to space exploration, they are ubiquitous. To better assist human beings, embedded systems become more complex, and more ...
Because the market has an insatiable appetite for new functionality, performance is becoming an increasingly important factor. The telecommunication and network domains are especially touched by this phenomenon but they are not the only ones. For instance, ...
