Correct design, and system-level dependability prediction of highly-integrated systems demand the collocation of requirements and architectural artifacts within an integrated development environment. Hybrid systems, having dependencies and extensive interactions between their control portion and their environment, further intensify this need. AADL is a model-based engineering language for the architectural design and analysis of embedded control systems. Core AADL has been extended with a mechanism for discrete behavioral modeling and analysis of control systems, but not for the continuous behavior of the physical environment. In this paper, we introduce a lightweight language extension to AADL called the Hybrid Annex for continuoustime modeling, fulfilling the need for integrated modeling of the computing system along with its physical environment in their respective domains. The Isolette system described in the FAA Requirement Engineering Management Handbook is used to illustrate continuous behavior modeling with the proposed Hybrid Annex. Copyright 2014 ACM.

The computational demands on spacecraft are rapidly increasing. Current on-board computing components and architectures cannot keep up with the growing requirements. Only a small selection of space-qualified processors and FPGAs are available and current architectures stick with the inflexible cold-redundant structure. The objective of the ongoing project OBC-NG (On-board Computer - Next Generation) is to find new concepts for on-board-computer to fulfill future requirements. The concept presented in this paper is based on a distributed reconfigurable system, consisting of different nodes for processing, management and interface operations. OBC-NG will exploit the high performance of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware parts. To compensate the shortcomings of COTS parts the OBC-NG redundancy approach differs from the classic way and error mitigation techniques will work mainly on software level. This paper discusses the hardware and software architecture of the system as well as the redundancy and reconfiguration concept. Our ideas will be proven in an OBC-NG prototype, planned for the next year.

Flooding is one of the most fundamental functions in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) and has been investigated extensively. Existing flooding schemes in duty-cycle WSNs can be categorized into two categories: synchronous ones and asynchronous ones. In practice asynchronous schemes are preferable since synchronous ones introduce more complexity and overhead for necessary clock synchronization. Existing asynchronous approaches are however imperfect for reliable flooding in duty-cycle WSNs. For example, opportunistic flooding is less flexible and Asynchronous Duty-cycle Broadcasting (ADB) suffers unsatisfactory flooding latency. We propose Constructive Interference-based Reliable Flooding (CIRF) in this paper, a novel design for reliable flooding in asynchronous duty-cycle WSNs. CIRF is integrated with the MAC protocol Receiver-Initiated MAC (RI-MAC) to improve the utilization of wireless medium and guarantee one-hop reliable transmission. The key idea of CIRF is to exploit the constructive interference feature when concurrent transmission occurs, which can be common in RI-MAC based WSNs. Simulation results indicate that CIRF achieves reliable flooding with reduced flooding latency, higher energy efficiency and delivery ratio compared to existing schemes.

This paper proposes a tradeoff between sample complexity and computation time that applies to statistical estimators based on convex optimization. As the amount of data increases, we can smooth optimization problems more and more aggressively to achieve accurate estimates more quickly. This work provides theoretical and experimental evidence of this tradeoff for a class of regularized linear inverse problems.
