Education

Real-Time Developing Efficient Objects for Embedded Systems is an introduction to object-oriented analysis and design for hard real-time systems and provides a notation for capturing and communicating object structure and behavior.

An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions often with real-time computing constraints. It is embedded  as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts.

By contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer (PC), is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of end-user needs. Embedded systems control many devices in common use today.

Professor Elaheh Bozorgzadeh is expert at System Synthesis for Self-adaptive Reconfigurable Embedded Systems. Embedded systems are controlled by one or more main processing cores that is typically either a microcontroller or a digital signal processor (DSP).

The key characteristic is however being dedicated to handle a particular task, which may require very powerful processors. For example, air traffic control systems may usefully be viewed as embedded, even though they involve mainframe computers and dedicated regional and national networks between airports and radar sites. (Each radar probably includes one or more embedded systems of its own.)In order to abstract away the design complexity, each design is decomposed into a set of sub-designs and hierarchical design process is applied.

Along with timing, there are other constraints such as size, power dissipation, etc. The sub-designs along the critical paths are the most constrained components during the optimization process in CAD flow. However, timing constraint is more relaxed on the other parts of the design. Bozorgzadeh is also expert science of Physically-aware Architectural Synthesis and layout planning for Embedded Systems and Director of Reconfigurable Computing Lab at University of California at Irvine.
