Embedded systems power the modern world—quietly running inside vehicles, medical devices, industrial controllers, routers, consumer electronics, and countless “smart” products.

Analytics-driven embedded systems bring analytics to embedded applications, moving many of the functions found in cloud-based, big-data analytics to the source of data. This allows for more efficient ...

Software architecture has long faced the problem of operating within system boundaries where specific requirements dominate: ...

Computing today is not restricted to your desktop computer. Printers, cell phones, and life-support systems are examples of systems that could not operate without reliable software. Building real-time ...

This fifth lesson on RTOS finally addresses the real-time aspect of the “Real-Time Operating System” name. Specifically, in the video lesson 26, you add a preemptive, priority-based scheduler to the ...

Imaging technologies such as x-rays and MRI have long been critical diagnostic tools used by healthcare professionals. But it's ultimately up to a human operator to analyze and interpret the images ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...
