In the last week of January CISTER researcher Stefan M. Petters attended the by-invitation-only seminar on Multicore Enablement for Embedded and Cyber Physical Systems at Schloss Dagstuhl in Germany. The workshop was organised by Andreas Herkersdorf (TU Munich), Michael Paulitsch (EADS-Innovation Works), and Michael Hinchey (University of Limerick). It brought together researchers from industry and academia to discuss the challenges faced in and solutions proposed for the deployment of multicore processors in embedded systems. Stefan in this context presented CISTER research on application mapping in NoC based manycores and together with Rene Graf (Siemens AG) he led a working group on "Certification of Safety Critical Multicore Systems: Challenges and Solutions".
The various seminars at Dagstuhl are mostly designed to tackle a specific problem by bringing together a group of researchers with complementary skills and its results often serve as focal point to develop input to the national and European policy makers to shape future research agendas. In line with this spirit, the attendees of this seminar has varying background, spanning the area vertically from hardware design, operating systems, up through to middleware and programming model and language issues, as well as horizontally the automotive, aerospace, industrial automation, and medical systems industry.
