The interest in state machines started in the 1950s when George Moore and Edward Mealy published seminal papers on formal methods of designing digital circuits, which generate outputs based on the ...

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence which gives computers an ability to learn from data in an iterative manner using different techniques. Our aim here being to learn and predict ...

We've seen in the previous articles how Ada can be used to describe high-level semantics and architecture. The beauty of the language, however, is that it can be used all the way down to the lowest ...

What is a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS), and what does “real-time” mean anyway? What are the various kinds of state machines, and how to code them efficiently in C? What is object-oriented ...

Knowing the differences between machine vision systems and embedded vision systems can provide better understanding of when each should be used Understanding the different definitions and uses of ...

In this course, students will design and build a microprocessor-based embedded system project managing real-time constraints while analyzing the system in-order to meet them. Students are expected to ...

All kinds of virtual machines (VMs) are available, with many finding homes in embedded applications. Platforms like the Java virtual machine (JVM) are used on servers and embedded applications with ...

Opinions expressed by Digital Journal contributors are their own. The telecommunications industry is one of the most dramatically transformed industries in contemporary history, principally due to ...

The persistent need for small-density memory in today’s market. Why embedded applications need small-density NOR flash memory. What are the best options for small-density NOR flash? Companies that ...

Every communication protocol should have a mechanism to determine whether the received data is valid. I once encountered a team that didn’t have such a mechanism. Their device operated in a ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...
