We are delighted to present the 2016 11th International Design and Test Symposium (IDT) which is organized this year in Hammamet city, Tunisia, December, 18–20, 2016.
Recently, Safety-critical computers are extensively used in many civil domains like transportation including railways, avionics and automotive. We noticed that in design of some previous works, some critical safety design parameters like failure diagnostic coverage (DC) or common cause failure (CCF) ratio have not been seriously taken into account. Moreover, in some cases safety has not been compared...
While the search for high-performance will continue to be one of the main driving factors in computing system design, embedded systems have an increasing need in optimizing extra-functional properties (EFP) in terms of energy efficiency, predictability, reliability and adaptability. These EFP are vital for safety critical applications, including hard real-time systems. It was reported that EFP constraints...
Microelectronic revolutions come in waves that are driven by necessity. Currently, the aging population is creating a need for various kinds of electronic systems to improve their quality of life. These include the restoration of lost functionality via electronic implants, better health screening technology and non-invasive monitoring in the home environment. In this talk I will present work that...
The advent of commercial-of-the-shelf (COTS) heterogeneous many-core platforms is opening up a series of opportunities in the embedded computing market. Integrating multiple computing elements running at smaller frequencies allows obtaining impressive performance capabilities at reduced power consumption. These platforms can be successfully adopted to build the next-generation of self-driving vehicles,...
Integrated embedded systems are increasingly used in many applications, including critical ones. The fast growing Internet-of-Things markets still increase concerns about reliability, safety and security. Circuits made in up-to-date technologies are more sensitive to perturbations, in spite of manufacturing progress, due to the number of functions implemented in a single chip. Malicious attacks are...
Software has come to dominate system-on-chip (SoC) development. It is increasingly common for the software effort to be on the critical path of the project schedule. Only FPGA-based prototyping provides both the speed and accuracy necessary to develop and validate complex software integration prior to silicon. The exciting benefits of an FPGA-based prototype are: • Quick fine tuning of hardware/software...
Multiprocessor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) allow the implementation of heterogeneous architectures with a high integration capacity. In recent years, computational requirements MPSoC are increasing exponentially. This complexity, coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has forced designers to consider intrinsically flexible implementations. Deploying applications typical of multimedia domains...
For different applications like high quality Internet video, mobile video or digital TV, efficient coding of video signals is required to meet technical constraints as bandwidth, latency or execution time. To cope with these constraints and the growing demand in terms of resolution and quality as HD, Quad-HD and UHD videos, more efficient coding is required. For that, the h.265 HEVC (High Efficiency...
This paper presents a software tool to deal with the diagnosis of discrete-event system modeled by labeled Petri nets (LPNs). This tool, called PEtri-Net-based Diagnosability Analyzer (PENDA), is an updated version of the prototype that implements our techniques for (K-)diagnosability analysis of discrete-event models. In order to cope with the state explosion problem that arises when establishing...
Solving Flexible Job Scheduling Problem (FJSP) under disruptions and unplanned events has achieved more attention in many researches. Today, the internet of things (IoT) is being implemented everywhere which is of human concern like smart city, smart environment, security, smart business process, smart agriculture, home automation and healthcare. Our objective in this work is to investigate the impact...
The technology of Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud has exposed devices to vulnerabilities. As they are distributed, the different devices communicate real time information to open, private or hybrid clouds, with the possibility of collecting, storing and analyzing big data streams in new forms. In the healthcare context, the increased deployment of IoT devices makes patient information a subject...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have become popular media for the implementation of many digital circuits. The quality of FPGA device is controlled by three factors which are: quality of the FPGA architecture, quality of the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tools used to map circuits into the FPGA and electrical design of the FPGA. The subject of this paper is the exploration and optimization of...
To overcome point-to-point interconnect obstacles, Networks-on-Chips (NoCs) within FPGAs have been introduced. NoCs provide independent interfaces of communication which lead to increasing design scalability and improving its efficiency. We analyze area, delay and power gaps between soft and hard implementations on FPGA-specific NoC; and target two different configurations in soft implementation....
The nonlinearity is an important factor that limit the improvement of the overall performance of a GNSS receiver. In order to prove the subsampling GNSS receiver performance for a weak desired system, a simple method is to characterize the derivation in nonlinearity and to quantify the impact on the wanted signal.
