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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Get an overview of design patterns, then use what you've learned to evaluate whether the Composite pattern is a good choice for a particular Java use case Numerous strategies have been devised to ...

Pattern matching is best known for its use in detecting lithographic hotspots, but it’s also widely used across all physical verification flows, and has expanded into design-for-manufacturing (DFM) ...

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 ...
