As the number of cores on a chip increases and key applications become even more data-
intensive, memory systems in modern processors have to deal with increasingly large …

Real-time and embedded systems are essential to our lives, from controlling car engines
and regulating traffic lights to monitoring plane takeoffs and landings to providing up-to-the …

Memory access violations are a leading source of unreliability in C programs. As evidence of
this problem, a variety of methods exist that retrofit C with software checks to detect memory …

Integration of industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) into critical infrastructures (CIs) is aiming to
improve efficiency in many crucial areas. The positive benefits of IIoT are increasing the …

Considered a standard industry resource, the Embedded Systems Handbook provided
researchers and technicians with the authoritative information needed to launch a wealth of …

In safety-critical embedded systems the stack typically is the only dynamically allocated
memory area. However, the maximal stack usage must be statically known: at configuration …

Out-of-memory errors are a serious source of unreliability in most embedded systems.
Applications run out of main memory because of the frequent difficulty of estimating the …

The growing complexity and increased networking of security and safety-critical systems
expose them to the risk of adversarial compromise through remote attacks. These attacks …

While developing embedded and real-time systems, it is usually necessary to write code that
handles interrupts, or code that interacts with interrupt handlers. Interrupts are indispensable …

The lack of virtual memory protection is a serious source of unreliability in many embedded
systems. Without the segment-level protection it provides, these systems are subject to …
