INSTITUT D’INFORMATIQUE Field expertise #2 – Coordination models tell get ask nask Primitives Blackboard P 1 P 2 P 3 Processes Bb #1 P 1 Bb #2 § Interaction model for asynchronous systems (e. g. web request/response) § Common blackboard for concurrent data sharing between processes § Paradigm extended with • virtual blackboards • real-time primitives • mobile processes 5
INSTITUT D’INFORMATIQUE Field expertise #3 – Code optimisation § Embedded systems have limited capabilities w. r. t. power, memory, CPU. Nevertheless, new applications demand ever more resources. § Code running on such systems should be optimised accordingly § What kind of optimisations? • Improving execution speed • Lowering memory usage • Lowering power usage § In-house expertise on analysis, transformation and optimisation of (declarative) programming languages. 6
INSTITUT D’INFORMATIQUE Research focus #1 – Radio Resource Management § Spreading code allocation in CDMAbased networks dealt with as a constraintbased programming problem § To be generalised to shared media/resource networks (e. g. FDMA, TDMA, OFDMA) Orthogonal Variable Spreading Factor (OVSF) tree 7
INSTITUT D’INFORMATIQUE Research focus #2 - Random access networks Temporary communication channel Model of communication between processes § Process communication modelled with temporary channels instead of shared blackboards § Birth/death process of channels based on neighbour discovery § Suited for modelling multiple access in ad hoc and Disruption Tolerant (DTN) networks 8
INSTITUT D’INFORMATIQUE Research focus #3 – Java bytecode optimisation for embedded systems § Java regarded useful for portability § Java run-time environment however not optimised for embedded systems § Some examples • Java vulnerable to memory leak or stack overflow • Undeterministic behaviour of Java VM due to the garbage collector which is triggered unpredictably/irregularly → Memory consumption is hard to predict → Execution time is hard to predict § Research topics • A Java VM which behaves (more) deterministically • Compile-time garbage collection for Java (as developed for declarative languages like Haskell, Mercury) 9
