Abstract:

Today, in embedded and cyber-physical systems, the execution platform is typically shared among several applications with different performance requirements and resource demands. Such resource sharing poses several challenges to the traditional resource-management techniques in the embedded systems area. On the one hand, the modern resource-management techniques are expected to support compositionality, isolation, and efficiency, just to name a few. On the other hand, different performance requirements and resource demands of applications should be taken into consideration by these modern resource-management techniques. For instance, in the case of control applications, the system is often required to provide high expected (average-case) control performance, in addition to worst-case stability guarantees. This talk motivates the need for novel resource-management techniques for cyber-physical systems and suggests some solutions for the case of embedded control applications.
