The development of modern avionics systems makes the design of such systems impossible without the use of automation tools. Currently, the area of such tools is represented by patented tools developed by major aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus, as well as a number of open or partially open international projects, differing in terms of validity, availability of source code and documentation. All tools are based on architectural models of the developed system. This article discusses the languages available for describing architectural models of avionics systems and shows which programming language is most appropriate due to its textual notation and embedded concepts that are well suited to represent most of the elements of embedded systems. The article then presents a set of tools for designing modern avionics systems. The toolbox provides both a general platform for designing and analyzing architectural models and a specialized solution for a specific area of avionics systems. It supports creating, editing and manipulating models in both text and graphic formats.

AbstrakSoftware komputer atau perangkat lunak komputer merupakan kumpulan instruksi (program atau prosedur) untuk dapat melaksanakan pekerjaan secara otomatis dengan cara mengolah atau memproses kumpulan intruksi (data) yang diberikan. (Yahfizham, 2019 : 19) Sebagian besar dari software komputer dibuat oleh (programmer) dengan menggunakan bahasa pemprograman. Orang yang membuat bahasa pemprograman menuliskan perintah dalam bahasa pemprograman seperti layaknya bahasa yang digunakan oleh orang pada umumnya dalam melakukan perbincangan. Perintah-perintah tersebut dinamakan (source code). Program komputer lainnya dinamakan (compiler) yang digunakan pada (source code) dan kemudian mengubah perintah tersebut kedalam bahasa yang dimengerti oleh komputer lalu hasilnya dinamakan program executable (EXE). Pada dasarnya, komputer selalu memiliki perangkat lunak komputer atau software yang terdiri dari sistem operasi, sistem aplikasi dan bahasa pemograman.AbstractComputer software or computer software is a collection of instructions (programs or procedures) to be able to carry out work automatically by processing or processing the collection of instructions (data) provided. (Yahfizham, 2019: 19) Most of the computer software is made by (programmers) using the programming language. People who make programming languages write commands in the programming language like the language used by people in general in conducting conversation. The commands are called (source code). Other computer programs called (compilers) are used in (source code) and then change the command into a language understood by the computer and the results are called executable programs (EXE). Basically, computers always have computer software or software consisting of operating systems, application systems and programming languages.

Many solutions such as percentage, molar and buffer solutions are used in all experiments conducted in life science laboratories. Although the preparation of the solutions is not difficult, miscalculations that can be made during intensive laboratory work negatively affect the experimental results. In order for the experiments to work correctly, the solutions must be prepared completely correctly. In this project, a software, ATLaS (Assistant Toolkit for Laboratory Solutions), has been developed to eliminate solution errors arising from calculations. Python programming language was used in the development of ATLaS. Tkinter and Pandas libraries were used in the program. ATLaS contains five main modules (1) Percent Solutions, (2) Molar Solutions, (3) Acid-Base Solutions, (4) Buffer Solutions and (5) Unit Converter. Main modules have sub-functions within themselves. With PyInstaller, the software was converted into a stand-alone executable file. The source code of ATLaS is available at https://github.com/cugur1978/ATLaS.

The current proposal of C++20 features suggests that the coroutines will have dedicated support for the native language. This chapter will provide an analysis that is performed based on a comprehensive survey of coroutines that are used in the development process of the embedded systems and how they are used on dedicated platforms based on their constrained resources. Another important aspect of the work consists of analyzing the performance of designing and implementation of coroutines in software applications related to IoT and embedded devices focusing on the security vulnerabilities of the devices within an IoT ecosystem. The research analysis that forms the basis of the current work is based on metrics, such as software and hardware platform requirements, computation power, scenarios, advantages, and designing user interfaces based on the programming language used. The current work will be completed by adding a comparison with C# 8 programming language and C++20.

Nowadays, embedded systems are increasingly complex, meaning that traditional testing methods are costly to use and infeasible to directly apply due to the complex interactions between hardware and software. Modern embedded systems are also demanded to function based on low-energy computing. Hence, testing the energy usage is increasingly important. Artifacts produced during the development of embedded systems, such as architectural descriptions, are beneficial abstractions of the system’s complex structure and behavior. Electronic Architecture and Software Tools Architecture Description Language (EAST-ADL) is one such example of a domain-specific architectural language targeting the automotive industry. In this paper, we propose a method for testing design models using EAST-ADL architecture mutations. We show how fault-based testing can be used to generate, execute and select tests using energy-aware mutants—syntactic changes in the architectural description, used to mimic naturally occurring energy faults. Our goal is to improve testing of complex embedded systems by moving the testing bulk from the actual systems to models of their behaviors and non-functional requirements. We combine statistical model-checking, increasingly used in quality assurance of embedded systems, with EAST-ADL architectural models and mutation testing to drive the search for faults. We show the results of applying this method on an industrial-sized system developed by Volvo GTT. The results indicate that model testing of EAST-ADL architectural models can reduce testing complexity by bringing early and cost-effective automation.

<h2><span lang="EN-GB">In today’s world, everything from small needle to airplane engineering is surrounded by embedded systems. Embedded System technology not only lays foundation for development but is also acting as Backbone for mankind in almost in every area of science, engineering, research and daily living. The world of embedded systems is mainly surrounded by: Microcontrollers and Microprocessor’s. To work in the area of Embedded Systems design and development is both interesting and challenging- Interesting in the sense, as everything is getting intelligent, advanced and feature rich day by day and the embedded system’s field is progressing by leaps and bounds. But challenging in the way, that resources are very limited in terms of design and implementation. The most important crucial challenges nowadays in front of embedded system engineers are- <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Which programmer to Use</span></strong>? <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Which compiler to use for source code development</span></strong>? <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Which simulator to use to simulate the overall behavior of system</span></strong>? As every compiler, programmer and simulator has distinct features, so selecting the best one as per one’s requirement has always remained a challenge. The main aim of this research paper is to overcome that difficulty by providing the researchers and embedded system engineers an encyclopedic platform of compilers, programmers and simulators for all sorts of embedded system technologies like 8051, PIC, ARM, AVR and Arduino so that choosing of the best platform in terms of compiler, programmer and simulator can become easy and time saving for everyone working in this area.</span></h2>

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) are implemented in hardware when software implementations are inadequate in terms of performance. Implementing an ANN as hardware without using design automation tools is a time consuming process. On the other hand, this process can be automated using pre-designed neurons. Thus, in this work, several artificial neural cells were designed and implemented to form a library of neurons for rapid realization of ANNs on FPGA-based embedded systems. The library contains a total of 60 different neurons, two-, four- and six-input biased and non-biased, with each having 10 different activation functions. The neurons are highly pipelined and were designed to be connected to each other like Lego pieces. Chip statistics of the neurons showed that depending on the type of the neuron, about 25 selected neurons can be fit in to the smallest Virtex-6 chip and an ANN formed using the neurons can be clocked up to 576.89[Formula: see text]MHz. ANN based Rössler system was constructed to show the effectiveness of using neurons in rapid realization of ANNs on embedded systems. Our experiments with the neurons showed that using these neurons, ANNs can rapidly be implemented as hardware and design time can significantly be reduced.
