Established in 1972, managed from 2002 in the second generation until the end of September 2023 and now in the third generation since October 2023, the chair Department of Computer Science 4 deals with fundamental issues relating to the complexes of system software that supports programs or applications and facilitates the programming or operation of computing systems, monitors and controls the execution of programs, operates computing systems reliably and efficiently in a specific manner and implements an abstract machine with all these characteristics — a layer of software, commonly referred to as the operating system or middleware. In this sense, teaching and research at the chair is generally geared towards a resource-aware systems programming in terms of space, time and energy for stationary, mobile, embedded or centralized or distributed systems, whose individual nodes are typically parallel computing systems in the form of multi- or many-core systems.

Last week, Eva Dengler took part at the ECRTS in Lille, France. She presented our work "Crêpe: Clock-Reconfiguration-Aware Preemption Control in Real-Time Systems with Devices", written together with Peter Wägemann. The paper targets the optimization of time-critical real-time systems with device ...

The third edition of the HotCarbon workshop takes place today in Santa Cruz, California. Our chair participates with the paper "CO2CoDe: Towards Carbon-Aware Hardware/Software Co-Design for Intermittently-Powered Embedded Systems", for which Phillip Raffeck recorded a video talk. With the help of an...

Last week, Phillip Raffeck attented the PLDI conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the co-hosted conference LCTES he presented our paper WoCA: Avoiding Intermittent Execution in Embedded Systems by Worst-Case Analyses with Device States, an approach to give forward progress guarantees for intermitte...

From May 13th to May 16th a number of conferences and workshops took place during the Cyper-Physical Systems and Internet of Things Week (CPS-IoT Week) in Hong Kong. This included the 30th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS), where our colleague Harald Böhm prese...

A group from our chair attended the Eurosys 2024 in Athens from April 22 to 25. The largest European conference on system software once again covered a wide variety of topics, ranging from networking, storage systems, distributed systems, compilers, scheduling, to many papers on or using machine lea...
