Research

Our research directions are targeted at real-time embedded systems. I specifically look at hierarchical scheduling and compositionality of increasingly complex real-time embedded systems.

HTAS-Verified

HTAS-Verified is an automotive research project between TNO, NXP, Verum, Tractive and TU/e. Our contribution consist of studying and applying resource management on the processor and network capacity, so that fluctuations and delays in the system can be bounded. Reservation-based resource management is a promising paradigm to guarantee resources for individual subsystems. It makes it possible to independently develop subsystems and postpone the system-wide analysis until the integration of subsystems.

uC/OS-II Development

Within our research group we experiment with Micrium's real-time operating system μC/OS-II (or: uC/OS, microC/OS). For directions to get started with development using
