Overview

The CERCS Embedded and Real-Time Systems Group's research focus includes the development of tools and frameworks for the development of embedded, wired and wireless, real-time systems. The goal is to implement novel techniques at different levels of a system - e.g., application, middleware, operating system, hardware & software codesign, and networks - to support the high-performance and predictability needs of distributed embedded systems.

Projects

DEOS (Distributed Extensible Open Systems): Run-time management of ubiquitous information flows in wired and wireless environments, with focus on the development of operating system (OS) and networking services that support such flows. Components include distributed OS-based resource monitoring and management systems, real-time event communications, novel packet scheduling and task scheduling approaches, and the required links between OS, network, and application domain that support the cooperation between these levels.
- Research Roadmap in Embedded and Real-time Systems
NEST:
CREST (Center for Research on Embedded Systems and Technology): Development of primarily compiler-centric software aimed at helping programmers to rapidly prototype embedded applications.
Ubiquitous Presence: Integration of sensing hardware, embedded processing and distributed system support to build a seamless programming infrastructure for ubiquitous presence applications.
