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 exemplary case study, our paper highlights the necessity...
- LCTES/PLDI 2024 - 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 intermittent systems via static analysis.
- Graduate Award of the GI Special Interest Group on Operating Systems to Eva Dengler - Our former student assistant Eva Dengler has won the Graduate Award 2023 of the GI Special Interest Group on Operating Systems with her master thesis on “Clock-Tree-Aware Resource Consumption Models for Embedded SoC Platforms”. The work was supervised by Peter Wägemann and was part of the DFG project Watwa, in...
- ECRTS 2023 - Our chair was represented with substantial contributions at the 35th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2023) in Vienna: On Tuesday, July 11, Peter Wägemann organized the 21st International Workshop on Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis (WCET 2023). The following day, Eva Dengler presented FusionClock: Energy-Optimal Clock-Tree Reconfigurations for Energy-Constrained Real-Time...
- OSPERT 2022/ECRTS 2022 - Phillip Raffeck attended OSPERT workshop and the ECRTS conference in Modena, Italy this week. At the workshop he presented our paper Revisiting Migration Overheads in Real-Time Systems: One Look at Not-So-Uniform Platforms, which provides fundamental insights for our research project maRE in collaboration with the System Software Group at the...
