Wireless Sensors Reduce Flooding in Indiana City
An article at Government Technology, "Wireless Sensors Reduce Flooding in Indiana City," describes a system that uses actuation to divert rainwater run-off to unused portions of the sanitary sewer system in South Bend, Indiana.
The system, called CSOnet, is a "cyber-physical system" because it integrates computation with control, said Michael Lemmon, University of Notre Dame professor of electrical engineering. It watches and alters its own world, similar to how a traffic controller monitors traffic congestion and orchestrates light timing. "Probably what's unique about this is it includes actuation, so that we're actually controlling something," Lemmon said.

CFP: DIPES 2008: IFIP Working Conference on Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems Milano, Italy: 9/7-9/8, 2008
DIPES 2008 - Call for Papers
IFIP Working Conference on Distributed and Parallel Embedded Systems
Milano, Italy
September 7th - 10th, 2008
hosted as part of the IFIP World Computer Congress
URL: http://www.c-lab.de/dipes
Conference Theme
Embedded systems build the key technological components of all kinds of complex technical systems, ranging from telecommunications devices to automobiles, aircraft and even complete production lines. Traditionally, such embedded control systems have been implemented in a monolithic, centralized manner, but distributed solutions have steadily been gaining popularity. In a distributed setup, the control task is carried out by a number of controllers distributed over the entire system and interconnected as a network by communication components such as field buses. The individual nodes of such a network usually consist of a processor (microcontroller) together with some sensors and actuators. More demanding local control applications require more powerful controllers based on parallel architectures such as multiprocessor systems-on-chips (MPSoCs) or VLIW. Distribution and parallelism in embedded system design increase the engineering challenges and demand new development methods!
and tools. Also, the increasing relevance of intelligent applications like autonomous systems or systems with self-x properties calls for new design methods and tools. Due to the growing complexity of these kinds of embedded systems, their development requires new, consistent and integrated design methodologies, covering the path from specification to implementation.
DIPES will be an ideal opportunity to present exchange and discuss the state of the art, novel ideas, actual research results, and future trends in the field of distributed embedded systems. Contributors and participants from both industry and academia are encouraged to take active part in this conference.

Workshop held in conjunction with ICECCS 2008
The thirteenth IEEE International Conference on
Engineering of Complex Computer Systems

Submission deadline: December 01, 2007
--------------------------------------
The first OMG sponsored "UML & AADL" workshop was held at ENST Paris (Telecom Paris) in 2006. The workshop was focused on embedded real-time software-intensive systems that are usually found in the avionic, vehicular control and aerospace fields. The workshop clearly had a main concern which was to determine what architectural levels would be better described with UML as opposed to AADL and vice versa, how to use these two standardised languages together (integrating them using an MDA approach, e.g.: TOPCASED).
The second edition of the workshop, "UML&AADL'2007" was held in conjunction with the 12th International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer Systems (ICECS07). The AADL standard had just been completed with a behaviour annex proposal and the MARTE UML profile was about to be accepted. Thus, the main concerns of the second edition of the workshop were centred around which parts of the MARTE UML profile could be incorporated into an AADL PSM (Platform Specific Model) without overly complicating the language, how to maintain the non-functional properties and aspects of the design throughout the whole software engineering process and how to specify functional and non-functional properties of AADL components.
The third edition of the workshop, "UML&AADL'2008" will again be held with the ICECCS conference since many concerns are found to be common and/or complementary. The proposed topics of the workshop are revolve around the architecture modeling of complex systems. This year, the main concerns are:
• How to handle code generation from a high-level specification
• How to ensure architecture model verification
• How to model DRE (Distributed Real-time Embedded) systems with an MDA approach
• How to carry out scheduling analysis from system models
Topics:
======
New real-time systems have increasingly complex architectures because of the intricacy of the multiple interdependent features they have to manage. They must meet new requirements of reusability, interoperability, flexibility and portability. These new dimensions favour the use of an architecture description language that offers a global vision of the system, and which is particularly suitable for handling real-time characteristics.
Due to the even more increased complexity of distributed, real-time and embedded systems (DRE), the need for a model-driven approach is more obvious in this domain than in monolithic RT systems. The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity to gather researchers and industrial practitioners to survey existing efforts related to behaviour modelling and model-based analysis of DRE systems.
This workshop seeks contributions from researchers and practitioners interested in all aspects of the representation, analysis, and implementation of DRE system behaviour and/or architecture models. To this end, we solicit short papers (~6 pages long) as well as full papers (not more than 20 pages) related to, but not limited to, the followingprincipal topics:
• Code generation from UML (action language) or an ADL (for instance,building a runtime corresponding to what is specified in an ADL description, code patterns) towards multiple target languages. Presentation of code genaration frameworks, tool suites or component-based programming will be particularly appreciated
• Model verification to verify functional properties against constraints given in the architecture model
• Verification of non-functional properties given in the architecture model against constraints given in the model
• Modelling DRE systems with languages such as UML and/or AADL, ACME,Wright, or other ADLs
o Behaviour modelling (concerns described in the Scope part)
o How to enhance modelling languages and ADLs to capture real
time,
embedded and distributed aspects in a convenient manner
o How to specify real-time requirements and characteristics in
modelling languages

CALL FOR PAPERS
ABOUT SCOPES 2008
The influence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. The number of features is increasing, and so arre the constraints on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing predictability. Since most systems today use a processor to execute an application program rather than using dedicated hardware, the requirements can not be fulfilled by hardware architects alone: Hardware and software have to work together to meet the tight constraints put on modern devices.
One of the key characteristics of embedded software is that it heavily depends on the underlying hardware. The reason of the dependency is that embedded software needs to be designed in an application specific way. To reduce the system design cost, e.g. code size, energy consumption etc., embedded software needs to be optimized exploiting the characteristics of the underlying hardware.
SCOPES focuses on the software generation process for modern embedded systems. Topics of interest include all aspects of the compilation process, starting with suitable modeling and specification techniques and programming languages for embedded systems. The emphasis of the workshop lies on code generation techniques for embedded processors. The exploitation of specialized instruction set characteristics is as important as the development of new optimizations for embedded application domains. Cost criteria for the entire code generation and optimization process include runtime, timing predictability, energy dissipation, code size and others. Since today's embedded devices frequently consist of a multi-processor system-on-chip, the scope of this workshop is not limited to single- processor systems but particularly covers compilation techniques for MPSoC architectures.
In addition, this workshop intends to put a spotlight on the interactions between compilers and other components in the embedded system design process. This includes compiler support for e.g. architecture exploration during HW/SW codesign or interactions between operating systems and compilation techniques. Finally, techniques for compiler aided profiling, measurement, debugging and validation of embedded software are also covered by this workshop, because stability of embedded software is mandatory.
SCOPES 2008 is the 11th workshop in a series of workshops initially called "International Workshop on Code Generation for Embedded Processors". The name SCOPES has been used since the 4th workshop. The scope of the workshop remains software for embedded systems with emphasis on code generation (compilers) for embedded processors. SCOPES will be held in cooperation with ACM SIGBED and is sponsored by ARTIST2 and EDAA. SCOPES 2008 is co-located with the DATE conference.
