abstract = {Maintenance is a part of the software development process. In distributed systems, update actions require special attention in order to limit the effort. Several developments exist for sensor networks already. However, for less dynamic networks of micro-controllers the constraints are more simple. We exploit this to reduce the time necessary for an update and to reduce the resource consumption, which is essential in embedded systems.

However, the development of device drivers is in general a difficult task, and supporting a portable, configurable as well as adaptable device driver is even harder. We exploit declarative configuration specifications, template-metaprogramming and the concept of RegisterMaps to achieve such a device driver architecture. We evaluate the device driver architecture, showing that the device drivers resource usage scales with different configurations. We compare our device driver architecture against a device driver implementation of a hardware vendor, proving the competitiveness of our solution.},

Despite its error-proneness and low abstraction level, the preprocessor is still widely used in present-day software projects to implement variable software. However, not much is known about how cpp is employed to implement variability. To address this issue, we have analyzed forty open-source software projects written in C. Specically, we answer the following questions: How does program size in uence variability? How complex are extensions made via cpp\’s variability mechanisms? At which level of granularity are extensions applied? Which types of extension occur? These questions revive earlier discussions on program comprehension and refactoring in the context of the preprocessor. To provide answers, we introduce several metrics measuring the variability, complexity, granularity, and types of extension applied by preprocessor directives.

abstract = {During the design of complex networked systems, it is cruical to ensure the composability of the deployed applications and network protocols. Special care has to be taken to provide non-functional requirements like bandwidth and latency. Existing solutions only tackle this problem during the design phase; later refactoring or added components are not covered, potentially causing QoS violations. We propose MLCCA, a multi-level architecture which complements the design-time composability checks with additional automatic checks performed at compile-time and at run-time. The required infrastructure is embedded into our communication middleware FAMOUSO, making it transparent to application developers. The architecture has been evaluated in a tele-operated mobile robot case study. If the QoS attributes could not be fulfilled due to refactoring or changed conditions, no communication was allowed by the middleware, ensuring that the application could enter a fail-safe state. No data was sent over insufficient channels. Thus, our combination of FAMOUSO and MLCCA enables the sustainable deployment of complex networked systems.},
