Adding Flexibility to Node-Level Fault Tolerance in Distributed Embedded Systems Based on Real-Time Ethernet
Distributed Embedded Systems (DESs) play a key role and are almost ubiquitous in many economic sectors, such as civil avionics, the automotive industry, healthcare, electric power distribution and telecommunications. This type of system is built interconnecting...
Data-driven Exploration of Benthic Environments with Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Featuring Semantic Perception and Adaptive Navigation Intelligence
Most of the land terrain on Earth is being constantly mapped using sub-meter resolution spaceborne images. However, about eighty percent of the oceans’ seafloor remains unexplored and most of the benthic habitat and geological structure distribution continues unknown....
Efficient Implementation of Deep Nets for Video Processing to Preserve Marine Ecosystem Services
Marine ecosystems provide multiple services to humans, including provisioning services, such as seafood or fossil energy; regulating services, like coastal protection or water purification; cultural services, as tourism or spiritual benefits; and supporting services,...
Time Redundancy Mechanisms for Tolerating Temporary Faults in the Communication Subsystem of Systems based on Time-Sensitive Networking Standards
In the last years several novel industrial applications have emerged, such as Industry 4.0, autonomous driving or intelligent energy distribution. On top of the intrinsic characteristics of traditional industrial applications, i.e. real-time constraints and increased...
