Trusted systems are becoming more integrated into everyday life. Security and reliability are at the forefront of trusted system design and are often directed at hardware-only solutions, especially for safety critical systems. This is because hardware has a well-established process for achieving strong, precise, and reliable systems. These attributes have been achieved in the area…

Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) allow the implementation of heterogeneous architectures with a high integration capacity. In recent years, computational requirements MPSoC are increasing exponentially. This complexity, coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has forced designers to consider intrinsically flexible implementations. Deploying applications typical of multimedia domains is difficult, not only due to the heterogeneous parallelism in the…

This paper presents a literature review on data flow error detection and recovery techniques in embedded systems. In recent years, embedded systems are being used more and more in an enormous number of applications from small mobile device to big medical devices. At the same time, it is becoming important for embedded developers to make…

The technological evolution and the frequent use of the Internet as a technology within the framework of the Internet of Things and Robotics has affected various fields such as Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, smart cities, home automation and autonomous cars. These advances applied to everyday life have facilitated the implementation of new concepts to minimize…

Advanced sensing technologies are providing for greater capabilities to discern and classify details of objects as they appear in actual environments as experienced by nonprofessional drivers. Distinctive geometric configurations of new sensory devices including but not limited to infrared (abbreviated as IR) and LIDAR sensory units are appearing as cost effective data acquisition systems for…

Real-time embedded systems are widely adopted in applications such as automotive, avionics, and medical care. As some of these systems have to provide a guaranteed worst-case execution time to satisfy the time constraints, understanding the timing behaviour of such systems is of the utmost importance regarding the reliability and the safety of these systems. In…

Spatial and temporal isolation is a crucial issue in embedded systems executing multiple tasks with several levels of criticality. This is considerably significant in the context of multi-processor (or multi-core) embedded systems running multiple mixed-criticality applications in parallel. This work deals with the issue of isolation of different application classes on Network on Chip (NoC)…

New multimedia applications such as mobile video, high-quality Internet video or digital television requires high-performance encoding of video signals to meet technical constraints such as runtime, bandwidth or latency. Video coding standard h.265 HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) was developed by JCT-VC to replace the MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and h.264 codecs and to respond to these…

This paper builds on the realization that since mobile devices have become a common tool for researchers to collect, process, and analyze large quantities of data, we are now entering a generation where the creation of solutions to difficult real-world problems will mostly come in the form of mobile device apps. One such relevant real-life…

Computer Vision is a domain which deals with the challenge of enabling technology with vision capabilities. This goal is accomplished with the use of Convolutional Neural Networks. They are the backbone of implementing vision applications on embedded systems. They are complex but highly efficient in extracting features, thus, enabling embedded systems to perform computer vision…

This work is dedicated to present a new pipeline-parallel architecture of Discrete Wavelet Packet Transform (DWPT) for all wavelet family implemented in FPGA technology. The main target of our architecture is to provide an effective performance trade-off, where it significantly increases the throughput with a restricted amount of hardware. In this article, we propose two…
