The idea to transfer also basic LTeX concepts to write a paper based on the IEEE bare_conf.tex-template were also planned. The course followed the idea of student's-centred learning. This paper presents the main structure, goals, and means of the c*lab, and the theory behind. It also embeds the course within the horizon of experiences of teaching writing skills at the Laboratory for Safe and Secure Systems (LaS 3 ) at the faculty of electronic and information engineering at the OTH Regensburg. First experiences have shown that participants increase writing skills and their idea of the importance of writing.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{OsinskiMottok, author = {Osinski, Lukas and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Control Flow Errors: A Discussion of Different Injection Strategies}, series = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, booktitle = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, pages = {1 -- 7}, abstract = {Among the available dependability assessment techniques, fault injection (FI) is widely adopted and strongly recommended by safety standards for the validation that functional and technical safety mechanisms are implemented correctly and effectively. The main challenge in fault injection assessments is the increasing complexity of system-on-chips as well as the increasing size of memory, which leads to enormous efforts to test every possible fault introduced to the system. Therefore, a number of publicly available fault injection frameworks utilize fault space pruning techniques to reduce the overall fault space and consequently the overall experiment duration. Most of the fault space pruning techniques mainly discuss the reduction of the number of data errors which have to be injected into registers and memory locations. However, control flow errors represent a further domain of possible errors on the application level. Usually for the evaluation of effectiveness of fault tolerance mechanisms against data errors, a single fault assumption at microarchitectural level (e.g. bit-flips) is assumed. In most cases, this assumption is equivalently applied to the program counter to investigate possible control flow errors. Due to this approach, the error space is consciously or unconsciously reduced to the possible erroneous jump targets that can be reached by a specific set of bit-flips in the program counter at a specified time during the program execution. This approach is considered valid regarding the corresponding fault assumption, but leads to negative effects on the significance of the injection and the resulting effectiveness of the tested fault tolerance mechanism. In this paper, we discuss different strategies for the analysis and injection of control flow errors and the resulting differences by considering the single fault assumption at microarchitectural and application level.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LaloWeberSaileretal., author = {Lalo, Erjola and Weber, Raphael and Sailer, Andreas and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Siemers, Christian}, title = {On Solving Task Allocation and Schedule Generation for Time-Triggered LET Systems using Constraint Programming}, series = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, booktitle = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, pages = {1 -- 8}, abstract = {The amount of safety-critical embedded systems in automotive development is heavily growing. Ensuring their reliability not only increases the complexity of functions but also requires determinism at design and execution time, which is considerably challenging to fulfill and verify for multi-core processors. The Logical Execution Time (LET) is recently recognized in automotive industry as an approach for ensuring deterministic functional behavior. However, to decrease the manual design effort and time for deploying such complex systems to multi-core platforms and for ensuring their strict timing and safety requirements, automatic solutions are needed. This work presents a solution for allocating tasks to multi-core processors and generating a time-triggered schedule for embedded systems considering safety, timing, and LET semantics. The approach we propose solves both challenges by defining them as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP). To examine our CSP formulation, we use MiniZinc, which is a solver-independent constraint modeling language that can employ a variety of solvers. In a case study, we explore optimizations of an industrial system that are enabled by scheduling and task allocation design decisions.

These frameworks usually provide an implementation for different sets of software patterns. A very well known software pattern for concurrency is the Active Object pattern, that allows various threads to have synchronized access to an object in question. This paper presents the Parallel Active Object pattern, which extends the common Active Object pattern to support the use of objects, whose computations are profoundly enhanced by a parallel execution. Furthermore, a C++ software framework is introduced, which implements the Parallel Active Object pattern and thus provides the possibility of using task or data parallel patterns, for example Map, Reduce and Divide-and-Conquer, on the active object's calculations. The proposed framework is evaluated against two other popular libraries, namely OpenMP and Intel Threading Building Blocks. Through utilization of the C++11 standard and template classes a simple user interface is provided, which abstracts the distribution of workloads among the worker threads. By making use of the C++ Standard Template Library the framework can easily be ported to embedded systems and by extending the pattern through real-time capabilities, which ensure a timely and reliable execution of the method requests, the intention of providing the framework for time critical environments is also targeted in the future.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{NagengastOsinskiMottok, author = {Nagengast, Christian and Osinski, Lukas and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Synchronization Techniques for Parallel Redundant Execution of Applications}, series = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, booktitle = {32nd International Conference on Architecture of Computing Systems, ARCS Workshop 2019, 20-21 May 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark}, publisher = {IEEE}, pages = {1 -- 8}, abstract = {In fault tolerant systems, applications are replicated and executed to enable error detection and recovery.

The rise of multicore platforms supports the development of parallel software, by providing the adequate hardware. However, this raises challenges regarding the synchronization of the redundant strings of execution. Replica determinism means that given the same input, identical programs provide the same output. To ensure replica determinism, requirements regarding the synchronization can be split in two domains: data and time. This paper examines the state of the art of synchronization techniques for parallel replicated execution in the context of fault tolerant systems.

To the best of our knowledge, all of these protocols share one commonality: Tasks that want to enter a critical section, that is already being executed by another task, immediately get blocked. In this paper, we introduce the Asynchronous Priority Ceiling Protocol (A-PCP), which makes use of aperiodic servers to execute the critical sections asynchronously, while the calling task can continue its work on non-critical section code. For this protocol, we provide a worst-case response time analysis of the asynchronous computations, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for a feasibility analysis of a set of periodic tasks using the proposed synchronization model on a system that preemptively schedules the tasks under the rate-monotonic priority assignment.}, language = {en} } @book{WeilkiensHuwaldtMottoketal., author = {Weilkiens, Tim and Huwaldt, Alexander and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Roth, Stephan and Willert, Andreas}, title = {Modellbasierte Softwareentwicklung f{\"u}r eingebettete Systeme verstehen und anwenden}, publisher = {dpunkt.Verlag}, address = {Heidelberg}, isbn = {978-3-86490-524-7}, abstract = {Die Beherrschung von Komplexit{\"a}t ist eine der gr{\"o}ßten Engineering-Herausforderungen des 21.
