In this paper, we describe a C++ implementation of the AES algorithms and explore different hardware micro-architectures by using HLS solutions.

However, there has been little discussion about certain types of fault tolerance, such as Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT), for kind of systems. The focus of this paper is on tolerating byzantine faults on optimistic processing of transactions using STM. The result is an algorithm named OB-STM. The processing of a transaction runs with an optimistic approach, benefiting from the high probability of messages being delivered in order when using Reliable Multicast on a local network (LAN). The protocol has a better performs when messages are delivered ordered. In case of a malicious replica or out-of-order messages, the Byzantine protocol is initiated. In smaller scenarios and using an optimistic approach, the protocol has a better throughput than Tazio.","PeriodicalId":359419,"journal":{"name":"2013 III Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering","volume":"185 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134118557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The heterogeneity of hardware is large, so there exists several different environments that support WSN programming.

In this paper we propose an approach to satisfy the need of high level development methods in WSN applications, aiming to provide a clear link between the modeled WSN constraints and the programming entities. An important part of this proposal is the so-called WiSeN Profile, an UML profile devoted for WSN applications design in a Model-Drivel Development (MDD) paradigm.","PeriodicalId":359419,"journal":{"name":"2013 III Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121575984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Embedded systems represent a large slice of these new complex systems. This scenario promoted the employment of advanced hardware platforms on embedded systems. However, embedded software development has not progressed at the same pace. Although high-level technologies have been employed in embedded development it still lacks of understanding about their impact on physical constraints, which are extremely important on embedded domain. This paper analyzes Object Oriented (OO) and procedural implementations running on different processor organizations. We demonstrate that for the future embedded processors the gains of the old-fashioned procedural code over OO code do not justifies the risks of delayed time-to-market.","PeriodicalId":359419,"journal":{"name":"2013 III Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125212670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, the major concern is with the quality of Embedded Computing Systems, as they are a classification of software that are strongly present in our daily lives and often without notice. The greatest feature of such systems is the ability to perform extremely important tasks with little computational resource. In general, such systems have restrictions on development and operation, they require specific requirements. To ensure its functioning in its development, we need to use processes with defined procedures to identify these features. This article presents part of a study being carried out to develop a process framework covering all phases of the development process of embedded systems, organized into phases, activities and document templates that induce developers to carry out the good practices suggested by quality models.

There are two general approaches for scheduling tasks in real-time systems: runtime or pre-runtime scheduling. However, there are situations where the runtime approach does not find a feasible schedule even if such a schedule exists. This situation generally occurs when the task model imposes arbitrary intertask relations, such as precedence and exclusion relations. However, finding a feasible schedule is not trivial, because this problem is NP-Hard in its general form. The approach proposed in this paper models real-time systems using time Petri nets, and finds a pre-runtime scheduling, provided that one exists, using a depth-first search method adopting two kinds of firing rules: single and maximal step semantics. The main aim of this paper is to compare both semantics in the context of embedded hard real-time pre-runtime scheduling.","PeriodicalId":359419,"journal":{"name":"2013 III Brazilian Symposium on Computing Systems Engineering","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132510440","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
