Embedded systems design and development can sometimes seem worlds apart from traditional application development on general computing devices and maybe even more so from Web development on the server ...

Uninterrupted service is expected from many of the connected embedded systems that surround us every day: the phone system, automated banking and credit card verification. Designers must implement ...

Embedded software and its specification is a vital component in deploying SoCs with reduced time-to-market. A key contribution to this is the technology area of embedded software architecture. This ...

Consolidation is a long-standing trend within the embedded world. It enables more capable, higher-performance embedded devices using fewer components, at lower cost and power budgets. The latest round ...

The problem with desynchronizing your code by moving parts of it into different tasks is that many of the resources your software wants to use—certain hardware, data structures in memory, files—can’t ...

Design patterns have been popular since they were introduced, and we can apply design ideas to the manageability part of an application. We'll describe a set of design patterns for making applications ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...

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 ...

In the object-oriented software community, an architectural pattern defines a fundamental structural organization or schema for a software system. It provides a set of predefined subsystems, specifies ...
