A Software Package for Enhanced Student-Learning in Real- Time Embedded-Systems NetworkingAbstractToday, embedded systems networking is common in manufacturing, automobiles, medicalequipment, and home appliances, but few undergraduate engineering and technology curriculateach courses devoted to it. Not having appropriate educational experiences risks a decline in UStechnical expertise. Various companies have developed commercial software packages foranalysis, diagnosis and simulation of real-time embedded-systems networking protocols.However, these commercial software packages are very expensive and complex to be used forundergraduate courses. We have developed a user-friendly and easy-to-use software
2006-1095: DATAFLOW SCHEDULING AND EXPLORING DIGITAL SYSTEMDESIGN ALTERNATIVESChia-Jeng Tseng, Bucknell University Page 11.387.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2006Dataflow Scheduling and Exploring Digital System Design AlternativesAbstractDataflow scheduling is a powerful technique for exploring design alternatives at thesystem level. Efficient scheduling is, however, a complicated task. Software tools areoften used in high-level synthesis to schedule a design specification. Since high-levelsynthesis is not yet widely accepted as a method of design entry, most students do notappreciate the significance of scheduling to the tradeoffs of system-level digital
