Fault Management Impacts on the Embedded Systems Hardware Design

Goal of the workshop:

The workshop aims to bring together researchers to the latest research ideas on development of distributed real-Time and embedded systems.

Workshop theme:

Distributing applications and cloud service applications among distributed systems offer many potential benefits. However, implementing robust, efficient, and flexible distributed applications is more complex than building stand-alone applications. A significant portion of this complexity is due to the fact that developers must consider new design alternatives and must acquire many new skills. The problem of building such applications requires finding and orchestrating appropriate services that are frequently non trivial for a developer. This is due to the very large number of available and the different possibilities for constructing an application from matching services. We need an abstract view of the application using modeling approaches. In addition, we need a semantic description to retrieve and compose automatically and semantically this kind of applications. This abstraction allows in one hand the reuse of the elaborated application and on the other hand reduces the complexity and saves the users from the detail of the low level of the environment. Especially for distributed real-time embedded system, cost and quality requirements necessitate reuse of the functional software components for multiple deployment architectures. An important step is the allocation of software components to hardware. During this process the differences between the hardware and application software architectures must be reconciled. We need model-based techniques to resolve these differences and integrate hardware and software components. The system architecture serves as the underpinning based on which distributed real-time components can be generated. Proposed modeling approaches need a standard verification step against required properties to analyze and correct built applications as early as possible in order to avoid any costly maintenance delays due to runtime errors.
