The EIS architecture group at EISLAB performs research on design methodologies, tools and realizations of Embedded Internet Systems. Key to our research is the concept of reactivity; reactivity in the sense that a system reacts to events, either internal to the system or caused by its environment. This is manifested through the modeling paradigm of Timber with the ultimate goal of low-power, robust, scalable, distributed systems, with formally established real-time properties. The reactive approach is applied throughout the system design, all the way from protocols for service discovery, Internet Protocol based communication, down to analog and digital sensor interfaces. By collaboration with the Mixed mode design group, the theoretical work can be demonstrated in real-world applications.• EU FP6 SOCRADESIn the EU FP6 SOCRADES project, EISLAB investigatesarchitectures and protocols for real-time control over wireless links.• The AmI LabEfficient code generation from Timber models.• CASTTThrough the Center for Automotive Systems Technologies and Testing (CAST), Luleå University of Technology aims to first of all support automotive winter testing in Northern Sweden. • PhD PolisIn this bilateral Luleå-Oulo project, modular design of communication protocols is in focus. Ongoing work investigates how the Timber real-time semantics and strong type system can be utilized towards modular software design with formally established real-time behavior. • Intereg, Larmband – SensorbandTogether with Hälsovetenskap LTU, Caretech AB, Meri Lappi Institute, National Semiconductor Kemi, and Medical Technology at Oulu University, a ultra low-power prototype system for fall detaction is being developed.
