Reducing the gap between theory and practice in real-time systems with MARS
Spilere Nandi, Giann; Pereira, David; Proença, José; Tovar, Eduardo; Nogueira, LuísA significant number of dependable systems rely on scheduling algorithms to achieve temporal correctness. Despite their relevance in real-world applications, only a narrow subset of the works in the literature of real-time systems are readily available to be reproduced in real-world hardware platforms. This lack of support not only hinders the reproducibility of research results, but also reduces the opportunit...
Mutants, machines and monsters: faces of war in science fiction cinema

In this context, the aetiology of the blood pressure elevation is essential since it may be treatable. We present a case of a young woman with hypertension secondary to fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) of the renal artery in which the endovascular treatment was crucial for its management.

The AMPERE Project: A Model-driven development framework for highly Parallel an...
Quiñones, Eduardo; Royuela, Sara; Scordino, Claudio; Gai, Paolo; Pinho, Luis Miguel; Nogueira, Luís; Rollo, Jan; Cucinotta, Tommaso; Biondi, AlessandroThe high-performance requirements needed to implement the most advanced functionalities of current and future Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) are challenging the development processes of CPSs. On one side, CPSs rely on model-driven engineering (MDE) to satisfy the non-functional constraints and to ensure a smooth and safe integration of new features. On the other side, the use of complex parallel and heterogeneou...
