  1. System Integration Raj Rajkumar Professor, ECE and CS Director, Real-Time and Multimedia Systems Lab Co-Director, GM-CMU Collaborative Research Lab Carnegie Mellon University http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~raj

  2. Background • Real-Time operating systems and networking • Real-time Linux + nano-RTOS • Scheduling theory

  3. Example: Automotive Control

  4. Example: Wearable Sensors • Acceleration, Tilt, Ambient Light, Temperature and Audio • Tactile, Visual and Audio Notification • Bluetooth and IR Communication • ARM7 Processor • 1Mb Flash Storage • Extensive Power Management • Frequency Scaling • Peripheral Power gating

  5. The “Software Problem” • There is no software problem! • I must be low on sugar… • We do have a “system problem” • The same software in different contexts may be acceptable or not • Depends on the system’s needs • The cost of development and verification • The cost of failure • The cost that the customer is willing to bear • Depends on your system • How is it different from the other system?

  6. The Temptation • The software has been used before without problems • Therefore, it should work again in my system. Ariane 5 launch

  7. The Greed • Generation n+1 will have different problems than Generation 1. “Unintended” feature interaction  Feature creep

  8. It’s binary, right? 0111010110100110 1010101010110100 1011101001000101 • Multiple levels of operation • Without failures • With failures • One or more failures • Which failures • Optimal operation (e.g. sampling frequency)? • No: depends on environment and where we are • Minimize energy? • No: control energy

  9. Solutions • Decouple wherever possible • Separate functional correctness from • Timing correctness • Replication for fault-tolerance • Security • Multiple models at different abstractions • Capture couplings where they must be • Capture interactions and dependencies • Manage couplings automatically • Generate code

  10. Software Infrastructure • Predictable real-time operating systems Windows • We can analyze and validate timing behavior • Wired and wireless networking • Multi-hop wireless networking to extend reach

  11. Challenges • “Barium” injection to see problems and locations • Testing must think like the car thief and explore/exploit openings • Reverse reasoning from good/bad outcome(s) to source(s) • Model different aspects of system behavior • Know thy system! Analyze Model(s) Generate

  12. Bio Dr. Ragunathan (Raj) Rajkumar is a Professor in the Departments of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University where he serves as the Director of the Real-Time and Multimedia Systems Laboratory and the Co-Director of the General Motors-CMU Collaborative Research Laboratory. Raj obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Carnegie Mellon University in 1986 and 1989, respectively. He has been conducting research in distributed real-time and embedded systems for over 18 years. Since 1985, his work has focused on all system aspects of real-time and multimedia systems including operating systems, networking, and middleware services. His work on priority inheritance protocols to avoid priority inversion problems is well known in the research and practitioner communities. He served as the Program Chair and General Chair of the 1997/1998 IEEE Real-time Technology and Applications Symposia (RTAS ’97 and ’98), respectively. He was the Program Chair of the SPIE/ACM Symposium on Multimedia Computing and Networking (MMCN ’03). He is currently serving as the Program Chair of the 2003 IEEE Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS 2003) and the General Chair of the 2004 SPIE/ACM Symposium on Multimedia Computing and Networking (MMCN 2004). He has also authored the book titled “Synchronization in Real-Time Systems: The Priority Inheritance Approach”, and edited a book titled “Real-Time Operating Systems and Services”. He also is a member of the Steering Committee of the EmSoft Working Group focusing on software technologies for embedded systems. He holds one U.S. patent and has authored over 75 papers in the domain of real-time and embedded systems. His research interests include real-time and multimedia operating systems, real-time scheduling theory, end-to-end resource management, and systems support for networking. He serves on the Technical Advisory Board and is a consultant to many companies in the embedded real-time systems domain. Dr. Rajkumar is also a Founder of TimeSys Corporation (www.timesys.com), a popular vendor of embedded real-time versions of Linux and Java.
