Title: Resource virtualization for real-time embedded systems, opportunities and challenges
The complexity of distributed real-time embedded systems is increasing steadily due to the increase in functionality realized by software. As a consequence, more and more software functions have to be developed, implemented and integrated into common shared hardware architectures. This often results in very complex software systems, where functions (software applications), that share hardware and software resources, will interfere with each other regarding resource usage in an unpredictable manner affecting their temporal performance.
Resources virtualization have been proposed as an attractive technique to solve the problem of sharing the system resources by dedicating a portion of resources to each software application in a predictable manner. Among many advantages that virtualization can provide, it supports independent development of applications, platform independent, predictable reusability of applications, simplification of the integration of software applications and faults isolation. However, it requires efficient modeling and analysis techniques to compute the necessary resources for software applications to fulfill the temporal requirements and runtime mechanisms to enforce the resources provisioning.
In this talk, an overview of the research that has been conducting during the last ten years in this area will be presented together with plans for future.
