Like the anti-lock brakes system of a car, real-time systems are time-vital technologies put in place to react under a certain set of circumstances, often vital to security of data, information, or other resources.

Innovations in Embedded and Real-Time Systems Engineering for Communication has collected the latest research within the field of real-time systems engineering, and will serve as a vital reference compendium for practitioners and academics. From a wide variety of fields and countries, the authors of this collection are the respective experts in their areas of concentration, giving the latest case studies, methodologies, frameworks, architectures, best practices, and research as it relates to real-time systems engineering for communication.

Acerca del autor

Seppo Virtanen received his BSc in applied physics, MSc in electronics and information technology (1998), and DSc (Tech.) in communication systems (2004) from the University of Turku (Finland). Since 2009, he has been Adjunct Professor of Embedded Communication Systems at University of Turku. He is Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Embedded and Real-time Communication Systems and a senior member of the IEEE. His published academic research has been in the areas of hardware acceleration for protocol processing, protocol processor architectures, and hardware/software codesign methodologies for embedded communication systems. In the past few years, his research interests have been focused on platforms capable of handling the processing of communication protocols, DSP routines, and software defined radio algorithms and applications in parallel on a parameterizable hardware platform, as well as information security related topics in the embedded systems domain.
