Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is a branch of algorithms widely used by autonomous robots operating in unknown environments. Research community has developed numerous SLAM algorithms in the last years. Several researches have presented optimizations into different approaches. However, they have not explored a system optimization from the algorithmic development level to the system hardware design. In some applications areas, such as indoor mapping, we would obviously benefit from low-cost sensors technology and SLAM implementations on a smart architecture. In this paper, a solution to the SLAM problem is presented. It is based on the co-design of a hardware architecture, a feature detector, a SLAM algorithm and an optimization methodology. Experiments were conducted with an instrumented vehicle. Results aim to demonstrate that our approach, based on low-cost sensors interfaced to an adequate architecture and an optimized algorithm, is good suitable to design embedded systems for SLAM applications in realtime conditions.

Over the last years Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been becoming increasingly applicable for real world scenarios and now production ready solutions are available. In the same period the upcoming combination of Service-oriented Architectures and Web Service technology demonstrated a way to realize open standardized, flexible, service component based, loosely coupled and interoperable cross domain Enterprise Software solutions. But those solutions have been too resource-intensive and complex to be applicable for limited devices like wireless sensor nodes or small-sized embedded systems. Thus, more and more research investigations have been launched to bring the aspect of cross domain interoperability to the field of embedded battery powered devices. Now it is time to show the potential of integrating Web Services enabled WSN solutions in Enterprise systems. The proposed laboratory assistance solution in this paper demonstrates the benefits of Web Service enabled WSNs for process monitoring and disaster management by extending an existing system in the Life Science Automation domain.

In classical real-time systems the resources for an application are allocated at system start so that every resource request can be fulfilled in future. This would lead to much internal waste of resources in the case of modern Self-X systems, because these systems have highly dynamic resource consumptions. The Flexible Resource Manager (FRM) was developed to overcome this problem. The manager puts temporarily unused resources at other applications' disposal. In this paper the FRM approach is evaluated by concrete application examples and randomly generated applications.
