WS5 - Workshop on Virtualization for Real-Time Embedded Systems (VtRES 2014)
Organizers:
Moris Behnam, Mälardalen University, Sweden
Kristian Sandström, ABB Corporate Research, Sweden
Aims & Scope:
The VtRES workshop provides a forum for researchers and technologists to discuss the state-of-the-art, present their work and contributions, and set future directions in virtualization for real-time embedded systems.
Resource virtualization offer solutions for hardware consolidation, where multiple systems can be integrated onto a single multicore machine. Moreover, the ability offered to manage mixed criticality, including security aspects makes virtualization an attractive technology for future automation systems. Virtualization is realized by creating a set of Virtual Machines (VM) that are dedicated to the applications for running them on the physical system in a controlled manner in terms of resources accesses. During runtime, a middleware is responsible for providing the required resources to VMs according to the specifications of their associated applications. This middleware is called Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) or hypervisor. By partitioning system resources among applications this technique ensures faults containment, i.e., it prevents a faulty application from misusing the system resources and thus preventing failure propagation between different applications.
The main focus of this workshop is on methods, techniques and mechanisms for efficient and predictable virtualization for real time embedded system applications.
