Specifying and validating embedded systems and chips becomes increasingly challenging as feature sets and non-functional constraints grow. It's especially difficult when the system involves a ...

I have been investigating several modeling systems for my January 18 cover story on embedded software shortcuts. Instead of a traditional written specification, these systems require a formal ...

MITRE, in collaboration with researchers from three other organizations, this week released a draft of a new threat-modeling framework for makers of embedded devices used in critical infrastructure ...

It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Prior knowledge needed: ECEA 5385 Industrial IoT Markets and Security, ECEA 5386 Project Planning and Machine Learning, experience with technical writing, foundational knowledge and experience in ...

Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

From surveillance and access control to smart factories and predictive maintenance, the deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) built around machine learning (ML) models is becoming ubiquitous in ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

This installment starts a new segment of lessons about state machines. The subject conceptually continues the event-driven theme and is one of my favorites [1,2]. Today, you’ll learn what event-driven ...
