An elegant solution to many embedded software systems problems is leveraging data-centric software design. Data is at the heart of every embedded system. First, data is acquired through sampling ...

Design patterns constitute a fundamental component in the architecture of software systems, providing standardised and reusable solutions to recurring design challenges. Originating from seminal works ...

The burgeoning workloads of embedded systems development teams means reuse of software code, hardware and hardware IP is increasingly the norm, and the use of development boards in embedded design is ...

A common, but mostly unconscious habit of software developers when theyface a problem is to break it down into its constituent elements, lookfor patterns of behavior and activity, and compare them to ...

What are the main issues behind the “painful” process of embedded-systems design? Shortages of resources, components, and talent plague the design process. How the instability of toolsets and driver ...

Connected devices and systems have become an integral part of our everyday life and we take this for granted. Finding the fastest way to our destination with a smartphone, reading the news on a tablet ...

Whenever an activity occurs in repetition, such as programming, patterns emerge and can be documented. The benefits of documenting and using software design patterns are well established, as are some ...
