- A robotic taxi named robuCAB
- According to ICT Results, a EU-funded project named Embounded 'has achieved the twin, and apparently contradictory goals, of making embedded systems both smarter and tougher.' One example is the robuCAB, a '4 seats automated people mover' developed by a French company and built from a 4 wheel-drive electric chassis with...

- Virtualization Techniques for Embedded Systems
- Like existing commodity computer systems, embedded systems are no more small, static, stable nor safe. They have huge amount of source codes, interact with the internet, download and install applications from external, which incur the increase of bugs and security holes. To solve these problems, the authors propose to leverage...

- Coordination of Safety-Critical Mobile Real-Time Embedded Systems
- Safety-critical mobile applications running on resource-constrained embedded systems will play an increasingly important role in domains such as automotive systems, space, robotics and avionics. Such applications are composed of mobile autonomous components interacting spontaneously without any infrastructure. Therefore, to undertake safety-critical missions, the applications will have to coordinate the behaviour...

- Production-Testing of Embedded Systems With Aspects
- A test harness plays an important role in the development of any embedded system. Although the harness can be excluded from final products, its architecture should support maintenance and reuse, especially in the context of testing product families. Aspect-orientation is a new technique for software architecture that should enable scattered...

- Hardened Embedded Systems offer a balm to the security conscious
- Hardened embedded systems offer a balm to the security consciousServers should take this slant, too.Security would be much enhanced if server OS (i.e. Microsoft) were handled the same way - only necessary services were provided and all the other chaff was dropped.

- A New Approach for String Handling in Embedded Systems
- Generating string tables are done in different ways for embedded software. Most of the time strings are kept inside specific source files and changing languages of the device needs conditional compilation. StringDB is a relocatable string database that allows the developers to change the language configuration of their system without...
