Safe and reliable embedded linux programming

Dr José Ruiz gave this talk at yesterday’s Embed with Linux conference in Lorient, France. The talk provides an overview of techniques to design and implement reliable embedded applications. The goal is to achieve safe and analyzable behavior by construction, including handling parallel multiprocessor systems in an efficient and predictable way. The means to attain this objective is to statically configure the application to run on embedded linux platforms, and then to use run-time support to enforce constraints imposed to the system.
