When I program I still use flow charts to express ideas. Some programmers use bubble state-machine drawings or some form of pseudo code to lay the foundations for finite state machines (FSMs). A ...
Well, summer has been and gone; and for most of us it was a time to relax and reflect on our working practices. What can we do to achieve better results? And what can we do to break out of the routine ...
The need for a way to execute concurrent tasks within Java has been addressed within JSE by the java.util.concurrent.Executor and in a limited fashion in JEE by the WorkManager specification.
This practical guide is aimed at electronics students and hobbyists. It is intended to be a valuable aid in writing programs using Finite State Machines (FSMs) in assembly language using 8-bit PIC ...
When software is required to solve complex problems, the proper solutions are often beyond the capabilities of traditional programming techniques. A robust alternative for solving very complex ...
Most embedded systems are reactive by nature. They measure certain properties of their environment with sensors and react on changes. For example, they display something, move a motor, or send a ...
As design size and complexity grows, the design verification effort grows even more. It takes significant amount of time to thoroughly verify complex control logic of a design, which is the key and ...
In my previous article, I highlighted the importance of state machine thinking in creating robust and dependable systems. Now, let's delve deeper into the mathematical underpinnings of converting ...
Many embedded software applications are natural candidates for mechanization as a state machine. A program that must sequence a series of actions, or handle inputs differently depending on what mode ...
