Efficient Design of High-Resolution Timekeeping in Real-Time Operating Systems

Authors: Federico Terraneo and Daniele Cattaneo

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 140, 7th Workshop on Next Generation Real-Time Embedded Systems (NG-RES 2026)

Abstract
High-resolution timekeeping is a desirable feature in real-time operating systems targeting microcontrollers, which traditionally has been held back due to its impact on context switch overhead. In this paper we present the design of a timing subsystem that decouples preemption from the timekeeping operation. This design, making use of 1+N hardware timers, significantly speeds up the context switch code while scaling effectively to multi-core microcontroller architectures with N cores. Preliminary experimental results on the Miosix fluid kernel show the effectiveness of the proposed design.

Smart Environments and Self-Organizing Appliance Ensembles

Authors: Thomas Heider and Thomas Kirste

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 5181, Mobile Computing and Ambient Intelligence: The Challenge of Multimedia (2005)

Abstract
The vision of Ambient Intelligence is based on the ubiquity of information technology, the presence of computation, communication, and sensorial capabilities in an unlimited abundance of everyday appliances and environments. It is now a significant challenge to let ambient intelligence effortlessly emerge from the devices that surround the user in his environment. Future ambient intelligent infrastructures must be able to configure themselves from the available components in order to be effective in the real world. They require software technologies that enable ad-hoc ensembles of devices to spontaneously form a coherent group of cooperating components. This is specifically a challenge, if the individual components are heterogeneous in nature and have to engage in complex activity sequences in order to achieve a user goal. Typical examples of such ensembles are smart environments. It will be argued that enabling an ensemble of devices to spontaneously act and cooperate coherently requires software technologies that support unsupervised spontaneous cooperation. We will illustrate why a goal based approach is reasonable and how explicit goals can be used to find system comprehensive strategies and how explicit declarative goals could be used as a benchmark to evaluate the system design.
