High reliability and high availability are essential aspects for all critical elements used in automotive applications. This is particularly true for control and steering systems. In this regard, numerous steer by wire (x-by-wire) concepts were developed over the years. Most of them considered only standard single microcontroller system architectures with a low degree of reliability according to international reliability and safety standards. This paper presents a novel concept for a degradable safety controller for steer-by-wire systems. Based on a safety-related 1004-architecture, the presented concept offers higher safety, reliability and availability.

As semi-conductor technologies move down to the nanometer scale, leakage power has become a significant component of the total power consumption. In this paper, we present a leakage-aware modulo scheduling algorithm to achieve leakage energy saving for applications with loops on Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures. The proposed algorithm is designed to maximize the idleness of function units integrated with the dual-threshold domino logic, and reduce the number of transitions between the active and sleep modes. We have implemented our technique in the Trimaran compiler and conducted experiments using a set of embedded benchmarks from DSPstone and Mibench on the cycle-accurate VLIW simulator of Trimaran. The results show that our technique achieves significant leakage energy saving compared with a previously published DAG-based (Directed Acyclic Graph) leakage-aware scheduling algorithm.

This paper presents a study on a class of algorithms based on Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) for multiple diffractions. S-UTD-CH model can be used for fast and more accurate field prediction for multiple diffractions in transition zone. An extensive simulation results for comparison of UTD based algorithms with respect to the computation time and accuracy was provided.

Liver is a vital organ of a body that has numerous functions. Severe malfunctioning of these functions causes a liver necrosis. The diagnosis of this necrosis is performed by a specialist who uses appropriate microscopic analysis. However, because this analysis is based on specialist's opinion, the results could be subjective and error prone. The aim of this study is to quantify the hepatic necrotic areas using computer aided algorithms and provide quantitative results that are not prone to errors.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms with multiple autonomous robots have received considerable attention in recent years. In general, SLAM algorithms use odometry information and measurements from exteroceptive sensors of robots. The accuracy of these measurements and the performance of the corresponding SLAM algorithm directly affect the overall success of the system. This paper presents comparative performance evaluations of three Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithms using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Compressed Extended Kalman Filter (CEKF) and Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). Specifically, it focuses on their SLAM performances and processing time requirements. To show the effect of CPU power on the processing time of SLAM algorithms, two notebooks and a netbook with different specifications have been used. Comparative simulation results show that processing time requirements are consistent with the computational complexities of SLAM algorithms. The results we obtained are consistent with the CPU power tests of independent organizations and show that higher processing power decreases processing time accordingly. The results also show that CEKF is more suitable for outdoor SLAM applications where there are a lot of natural and artificial features.

In order to measure the effectiveness of safety protection systems there are several design parameters. Diagnostic coverage factor is one of the most important parameter which influences all architectures. In this short paper the relationship between PFD avg , DC and T I are presented. 1oo2 and 1oo2D architectures are considered as examples.

The 15th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional programming (ICFP) took place on September 27–29, 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland. After the conference, the programme committee, chaired by Stephanie Weirich, selected several outstanding papers and invited their authors to submit to this special issue of Journal of Functional programming. Umut A. Acar and James Cheney acted as editors for these submissions. This issue includes the seven accepted papers, each of which provides substantial new material beyond the original conference version. The selected papers reflect a consensus by the program committee that ICFP 2010 had a number of strong papers that link core functional programming ideas with other areas, such as multicore, embedded systems, and data compression.
As parallel programming becomes the mainstream due to multicore processors, dynamic memory allocators used in C and C++ can suppress the performance of multi-threaded applications if they are not scalable. In this pap...
