Title: " Time-Composable Network Interfaces "
Speaker: Prof. Peter Puschner (Vienna University of Technology, Austria)

Date: 17.12.2015 Thursday, time: 11:30-12:30
Room: 1F391 

Refreshments will be available.  All are welcome.

Abstract:

Composing networked computer systems of highly autonomous components may lead
to control conflicts in the communication system. These control conflicts can
be avoided by connecting the components via temporal-firewall interfaces in
combination with a time-triggered communication network.
We will show the benefits of this communication strategy and discuss the two
access strategies (asynchronous respectively time-synchronized) for
communicating via temporal-firewall network interfaces.

Short Bio:
Peter Puschner is a Professor in Computer Science at the Vienna University
of Technology. His main research interest is on hard real-time systems
for safety-critical applications, with a focus on the worst-case
execution time (WCET) analysis and software/hardware architectures for
time-predictable computing systems.
He has published more than 100 refereed conference and journal papers,
chaired the PC of ISORC 2003 and ECRTS 2004, and was the general chair
of ECRTS 2002, ISORC 2004, and SEUS 2010.
He has been involved in a number of national and international research
projects, including the following projects funded by the European
Commission: SETTA, NextTTA, CaberNet, Artist, Artist2, ArtistDesign, T-CREST,
MultiPARTES, and the TACLe COST action.
P. Puschner is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, IFIP working group
10.2 on Embedded Systems, Euromicro, the Austrian Computer Society (OCG),
and the Marie-Curie Fellowship Association.
