EWiLi 2012 Program

08:00 AM - 08:45 AM | Participants registration
08:45 AM - 09:00 AM | Welcoming speech / Keynote speaker presentation

09:00 AM - 10:00 AM | Keynote speaker 1: Dr José F. Ruiz (AdaCore) Safe and reliable embedded linux programming - how to get there

Bio: Dr. José F. Ruiz joined AdaCore in 2002 after receiving his PhD degree for his work in the field of real-time and multimedia systems. His area of expertise is embedded real-time systems, where he has been working for more than 15 years, having authored/coauthored over 30 papers in that area. He is also highly interested in certification of high-integrity systems.
Summary: The talk will provide an overview of techniques to design and implement reliable embedded applications. The goal is to achieve safe and analyzable behavior by construction, including handling parallel multiprocessor systems in an efficient and predictable way. The means to attain this objective is to statically configure the application to run on embedded linux platforms, and then to use run-time support to enforce constraints imposed to the system.

13:45 PM - 14:45 PM | keynote speaker 2: Dr Eric Senn (Lab-STICC, University of South Brittany, France) Embedded Linux Energy Overhead

Bio: Dr. Eric Senn received the B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Paris VI in 1991. He was student of the ‘Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan’ from 1991 to 1992 and he succeeded the ‘Agrégation’ of Electrical Engineering in 1992. In 1993, he received the M.S. Degree in Electronics and Computer Sciences from the University of Paris XI. He was Professor of the French Ministry of Defense in the GIP (Geography Image and Perception) Laboratory for the DGA (Déléguation Générale de l’Armement) from 1995 to 1999. He received his Ph.D. degree in electronics from the University of Paris XI in 1998. He is currently an Associate Professor in the University of South Brittany (UBS-France) and member of the Lab-STICC since 1999. He received the HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) Degree in 2008 from the UBS. His current works include research on high-level methods and tools for embedded systems design (encompassing hardware and software architectures, as well as real time operating systems), power and energy modeling, analysis and optimization, and Model Driven Engineering (Meta-models definition, and model transformations).
Summary: This presentation will present how operating systems, especially embedded Linux, impacts an embedded system's power and energy consumption. Complex architectures will be considered, possibly multi-core and heterogeneous, with reconfigurable parts. The contribution of different services of the operating system will be assessed. Analyses are based on physical measurements of the targeted platforms power consumption. Consumption models are extracted from those measurements, and are integrated in an estimation framework associated to high-level design flows.
