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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
