Implementing self-adaptive embeddedsystems, such as UAVs, involves an offline provisioning of the several implementations of the embedded functionalities with different characteristics in resource usage and performance in order for the system to dynamically adapt itself under uncertainties. FPGA-based architectures offer for support for high flexibility with dynamic reconfiguration features. We propose an autonomic control architecture for self-adaptive and self- reconfigurable FPGA-based embeddedsystems. The control architecture is structured in three layers: a mission manager, a reconfiguration manager and a scheduling manager. In this work we focus on the design of the reconfiguration manager. We propose a design approach using automata-based discrete control. It involves reactive programming that provides formal semantics, and discrete controller synthesis from declarative objectives.

In this paper, we propose a novel framework, called Hierarchical MDP framework for Compact System-level modeling (HMCSM), for design and implementation of adaptive embedded signal processing systems. The HMCSM framework applies Markov decision processes (MDPs) to enable autonomous adaptation of embedded signal processing under multidimensional constraints and optimization objectives. The framework integrates automated, MDP-based generation of optimal reconfiguration policies, dataflow-based application modeling, and implementation of embedded control software that carries out the generated reconfiguration policies. HMCSM systematically decomposes a complex, monolithic MDP into a set of separate MDPs that are connected hierarchically, and that operate more efficiently through such a modularized structure. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our new MDP-based system design framework through experiments with an adaptive wireless communications receiver.

The modern economy is driven by technologies and knowledge. Digital technologies can free, shift and multiply choices, often intruding on the space of other industries, by providing new ways of conducting business operations and creating values for customers and companies. The topics covered in this volume include software agents, multi-agent systems, agent modelling, mobile and cloud computing, big data analysis, business intelligence, artificial intelligence, social systems, computerembeddedsystems and nature inspired manufacturing, etc. that contribute to the modern Digital Economy. This volume highlights new trends and challenges in agent, new digital and knowledge economy research and includes 28 papers classified in the following specific topics: business process management, agent-based modeling and simulation, anthropic-oriented computing, learning paradigms, business informatics and gaming, digital economy, and advances in networked virtual enterprises. Published papers were selected for presentation at the 10th KES conference on Agent and Multi-Agent systems: Technologies and Applications (KES-AMSTA 2016) held in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Spain. Presented results would be of theoretical and practical value to researchers and industrial practitioners working in the fields of artificial intelligence, collective computational intelligence, innovative business models, new digital and knowledge economy and, in particular, agent and multi-agent systems, technologies, tools and applications.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is the technical backbone of smart cities which are envisioned to cope up with rapid urbanization of human population with limited resources. IoT provides three key features of smart cities such as intelligence, interconnection, and instrumentation. IoT is essentially a system-of-systems which can be considered as a configurable dynamic global network of networks. The main components of IoT include the following: 1) The Things; 2) Internet; 3) LAN; and 4) The Cloud. IoT is built by various diverse components including electronics, sensors, actuators, controllers, networks, firmware, and software. However, the existing electronics, controllers, and processors do not meet IoT requirements, such as multiple sensors, communication protocols, and security requirements. The existing computer-aided design (CAD) or electronic design automation tools are not enough to meet diverse challenges such as time-to-market, complexity, and cost of IoT. The required electronic circuits and systems need to be developed by handling and solving specific requirements. Real-time and ultralow power plays a major role since mobile devices in the IoT have to provide a long availability with a relative small energy budget. At the same time, reliability, availability, real-time constraints, and performance requirements pose significant challenges, and therefore, lead to a high interest in research. In this special issue, different approaches to design novel devices, circuits, and systems for solving the challenges with IoT are targeted. Various novel design automation components including modeling, design flows, simulation methods, and optimizations for designing of modern IoT are targeted, from system level down to device level. The current special issue was envisioned with the above technical considerations. After a rigorous review process, a set of articles were selected for this special issue. These papers are briefly discussed in the rest of the editorial.

This paper presents a set of methods for effective compression of 3D-CNN deep learning architectures with a particular focus on embedded platforms. Deep learning models are massive regarding the number of parameters, especially in video processing. Such memory consumption poses a challenge when it comes to efficient deployment to embedded devices. The authors applied a series of quantization and pruning techniques and showed that it is possible to significantly reduce an 80M-parameters-large deep learning model with a negligible (approx. 1 perc.) decrease in accuracy.

In this paper, we evaluate a partitioning and placement technique for mapping concurrent applications over a globally asynchronous locally synchronous (GALS) multi-core architecture designed for simulating a spiking neural network (SNN) in real-time. We designed a task placement pipeline capable of analysing the network of neurons and producing a placement configuration that enables a reduction of communication between computational nodes. The neuronto-core mapping problem has been formalised as a two phases problem: Partitioning and Placement. The Partitioning phase aims at grouping together the most connected network components, maximising the amount of self-connections within each identified group. For this purpose we used a multilevel k-way graph partitioning strategy capable of generating network-partitions. The Placement phase aims at placing groups of neurons over the chip mesh minimising the communication between computational nodes. For implementing this step, we designed and evaluate the performances of three placement variants. In the results, we point out the importance of using a partitioning algorithm for the SNN graph. We were able to achieve an increase in self-connections of 19% and an improvement of the final overall post-placement synaptic elongation of 29% using the simulated annealing placement technique, compared to 22% obtained without partitioning.

The amount and diversity of connected computing platforms in the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to increase exponentially throughout the next years, together with their dependability requirements. This imposes many challenges to software and hardware developers and calls for safe and secure real-time operating systems (RTOSs) that are portable to different or changing hardware. Middleware ports, including RTOS ports, must keep functional and non-functional behavior constant towards the application. Current middleware portability approaches for embeddedsystems, however, are arduous and error prone. We present a novel approach towards portability of embedded RTOSs based on the formal, hardware-independent and detailed specification of RTOS kernels. With additional models of relevant MCU properties and instruction set architectures (ISA), we are able to generate low level RTOS code for different target architectures. This paper focuses on the hardware-independent model of the context switch within a multi-tasking RTOS. With the general approach, we expect to (1) reduce the effort for maintaining and porting RTOS code, as well as the (2) likeliness for errors, (3) make it easier to test new kernel concepts during OS development, (4) improve security by modeling different levels of access permissions for memory or peripherals depending on the execution mode, and (5) improve safety by formally proving the correctness and consistency of the models.
