The 3TU embedded systems master in the Netherlands
The three technical universities in the Netherlands (Eindhoven University of Technology, Delft University of Technology and University of Twente), abbreviated as 3TU, started a joint master on Embedded Systems in 2006. Embedded Systems is an interdisciplinary area of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics.

Assessing software archives with evolutionary clusters
The way in which a system's software archive is partitioned influences the evolvability of that system. The partition of a software archive, e.g. subsystem decomposition, is mostly assessed by looking at the static (include, call) relations between the parts. In the literature history information is also taken into account to assess the partition.

An executable interface specification for industrial embedded system design
Nowadays, designers resort to abstraction techniques to conquer the complexity of industrial embedded systems during the design process. However, due to the large semantic gap between the abstractions and the implementation, the designers often fails to apply the abstraction techniques. In this paper, an EIS-based (executable interface specification) approach is proposed for the embedded system design.

Supporting UML-based development of embedded systems by formal techniques
- Published in
- Software and Systems Modeling, 7(2), pp. 131-155.
We describe an approach to support UML-based development of embedded systems by formal techniques. A subset of UML is extended with timing annotations and given a formal semantics. UML models are translated, via XMI, to the input format of formal tools, to allow timed and non-timed model checking and interactive theorem proving.

Impact of software rejuvenation. Results of literature study
Software rejuvenation, also known as software restructuring or legacy removal, plays a critical role in preserving and enhancing the value of software assets within organizations. However, rejuvenation work can be difficult and tedious, and the benefit is not always clear. Therefore many individuals and organizations are reluctant to perform it.
