whitepaper Embedding Test Components Into Operational Systems: A Guide to Enhance System Testing During Production2007-05-15 IBM
  Large enterprise solutions have many components. Verifying the operability of each system component is challenging, but it is an extremely important task. One can use embedded test components, even in a production environment, that make the whole system testable during deployment. This paper explains how to efficiently plan for embedded test components in the architectural, implementation, and operational phases of a project. The reader also discovers how to embed these test components with functional components with minimal operational overhead.

whitepaper Intel Virtualization Technology: New Client Virtualization Usage Models Using Intel Virtualization Technology2006-08-10 Intel
  Intel's Embedded IT (EIT) strategy focuses on defining a set of usages aimed at benefiting IT departments and home PC customer support by providing advanced and remote capabilities for provisioning, manageability, diagnostics, and remediation of the client (desktop and mobile) platform. EIT leverages key platform technologies supported on Intel vPro technology platforms and select digital home platforms, including Intel Virtualization Technology (VT), Intel Active Management Technology (AMT), and dual core processors to deliver an innovative framework on which these capabilities may be implemented and enhanced.

whitepaper Low Disturbance Embedded System Tracing With Linux Trace Toolkit Next Generation2006-04-11 Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal
  Embedded systems in applications that include GPS, airplanes, life support devices, video decoders and many others are often required to meet hard and soft real-time constraints. Various proprietary operating systems, like VxWorks and ?C/OS-II, aim primarily at allowing programs to have an higher bound on their execution time. They can be deployed in embedded applications where response time must absolutely be met. This paper presents how the kernel tracer "Linux Trace Toolkit next generation" (LTTng)2 can be used to pinpoint time constraints problems in the Linux kernel and validate time constraints by showing the absence of failure in a sample.

whitepaper Boxy Types: Inference for Higher-Rank Types and Impredicativity2006-05-02 05:49:02
  Languages with rich type systems are beginning to employ a blend of type inference and type checking, so that the type inference engine is guided by programmer-supplied type annotations. This paper shows how to combine the virtues of two well-established ideas: unification-based inference, and bidirectional propagation of type annotations. The result is a type system that conservatively extends Hindley-Milner, and yet supports both higher-rank types and impredicativity.   
whitepaper On-Time and Scalable Intrusion Detection in Embedded Systems2006-02-22 University of Houston
  Embedded systems are becoming ubiquitous and are increasingly interconnected or networked, making them more vulnerable to security attacks. A large class of these systems such as SCADA and PCS has real-time and safety constraints. Therefore, in addition to satisfying these requirements, achieving system security emerges as a critical challenge to ensure that users can trust these embedded systems to perform correct operations. One objective in a secure system is to identify attacks by detecting anomalous system behaviors. This paper describes the challenges in the design and implementation of such intrusion detection capability.

whitepaper Virgin Megastores Opens Music and Video Vault to Customers With New Digital Kiosk2005-12-01 Microsoft Tips
  Since its inception, Virgin Megastores has been viewed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean as an innovative organization. To maintain that reputation at its Virgin Megastores in the United States, Virgin wanted to replace CD listening posts with digital media preview kiosks capable of delivering far more than just music. Seeking to lower life cycle costs for the device, Virgin selected Microsoft Windows Embedded for Point of Service, a retail-optimized operating system designed for easy setup, use, and service. The result is the Virgin Vault, a highly extensible digital music listening station that also allows customers to watch video clips and preview games.

whitepaper Production-Testing of Embedded Systems With Aspects2005-10-21 Tampere University of Technology
  A test harness plays an important role in the development of any embedded system. Although the harness can be excluded from final products, its architecture should support maintenance and reuse, especially in the context of testing product families. Aspect-orientation is a new technique for software architecture that should enable scattered and tangled code to be addressed in a modular fashion, thus facilitating maintenance and reuse. However, the design of interworking between object-oriented baseline architecture and aspects attached on top of it is an issue, which has not been solved conclusively. For industrial-scale use, guidelines on what to implement with objects and what with aspects should be derived.   
whitepaper Sizzle: A Standards-Based End-to-End Security Architecture for the Embedded Internet2005-10-04 03:00:05
  According to popular perception, public-key cryptography is beyond the capabilities of highly constrained, "mote"-like, embedded devices. This paper shows that elliptic curve cryptography not only makes public-key cryptography feasible on these devices, it allows one to create a complete secure web server stack that runs efficiently within very tight resource constraints.   
whitepaper Controlling EWF by Using the EWF APIs2005-08-09 03:00:02
  Windows XP Embedded includes Enhanced Write Filter (EWF), which provides a means for protecting a volume from disk writes. This paper provides several examples that demonstrate how to create applications by using the set of EWF application programming interfaces (APIs) through Visual Studio .NET 2003. The Write Filter component in Microsoft Windows NT Embedded provides basic support to protect a hard disk from read and write access.
