The number of Universities which answer this call by replacing or extending lectures with simulated software projects is constantly rising. However, the question how to best transfer new technological knowledge needed to be successful within this projects to the students remains open. Therefore this paper will present a comparison between the classical frontal lecture and a modern workshop learning arrangement used within these projects. By the use of workshops not only the knowledge transfer but also the acquisition of personal and social competences will be facilitated. Furthermore positive experiences with workshops at university level will support life-long learning.}, language = {en} } @article{JosephSchummRummeletal., author = {Joseph, Saskia and Schumm, Michael and Rummel, Otmar and Soska, Alexander and Renschke, Michael and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Niemetz, Michael and Schroll-Decker, Irmgard}, title = {Teaching finite state machines with case method and role play}, series = {2014 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON 2014) : Istanbul, Turkey, 3 - 5 April 2014}, journal = {2014 IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON 2014) : Istanbul, Turkey, 3 - 5 April 2014}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/EduCon.2013.6530275}, pages = {1302 -- 1305}, abstract = {The professional requirements in Software Engineering have become highly volatile due to the complexities of project development and rapid and innovative changes occurring in the field.

No hands-on lab experiments were possible. Therefore, a GNU Radio practical part was integrated into the lecture. A tutorial was written to guide students through the first steps with GNU Radio to decrease initial problems and increase student motivation. Several examples were given regarding digital signal processing, analogue and digital modulation and demodulation. Software Defined Radio receivers were set up in the amateur radio lab of the university and connected to the internet so that students were able to get real radio data to be analyzed and demodulated with their own GNU Radio models. This enables a knowledge transfer from simulated signal processing to the analysis and demodulation of real live signals. Students showed medium to high interest in practical examples during the lectures and tried their own GNU Radio simulations. Overall, the integration of GNU Radio and Software Defined Radio receivers into this virtual lecture gave additional benefits for the students to deal with signal processing and demodulation experiments. It is planned to use GNU Radio in the future for complementary practical examples to the hands-on experiments in the lab.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{DeubzerHobelsbergerMottoketal., author = {Deubzer, Michael and Hobelsberger, Martin and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Schiller, Frank and Dumke, Reiner and Siegle, Markus and Margull, Ulrich and Niemetz, Michael and Wirrer, Gerhard}, title = {Modeling and Simulation of Embedded Real-Time Multi-Core Systems}, series = {Proceedings of the 3rd Embedded Software Engineering Congress, 7. bis 9.

Due to its non-work-conserving behavior, which might leave the CPU idle even when tasks are ready to execute, tasks finish only shortly before their deadlines are reached. Benefits are lower task jitter, but additional workload, e.g. through interrupts, can lead to deadline violations. In this paper we present a work-conserving extension of Partly-Pfair scheduling, called PERfair scheduling and the algorithm P-ERfair-PD2 which applies Pfair modifications used for Partly-Pfair on the concept of ERfairness and PD2 policies. With a simulation based schedulability examination we show for multiple time base (MTB) task sets that P-ERfair- PD2 has the same performance as Partly-Pfair-PD2. Additionally, we show that P-ERfair- PD2 has a much higher robustness against perturbations, and therefore it is well suited for embedded domains, especially for the Automotive domain.}, language = {en} } @article{DeubzerSchillerMottoketal., author = {Deubzer, Michael and Schiller, Frank and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Niemetz, Michael and Margull, Ulrich}, title = {Effizientes Multicore-Scheduling in Eingebetteten Systemen - Teil 1: Algorithmen f{\"u}r zuverl{\"a}ssige Echtzeitsysteme}, series = {atp - Automatisierungstechnische Praxis}, journal = {atp - Automatisierungstechnische Praxis}, number = {9}, pages = {60 -- 67}, abstract = {Eingebettete Systeme unterliegen neben den funktionalen Anforderungen besonders nicht funktionalen Qualit{\"a}tsanforderungen wie Effizienz, Zuverl{\"a}ssigkeit und Echtzeitf{\"a}higkeit.

Drawbacks are tight requirements to the task system, namely the restriction to periodic task systems with synchronized task activation, quantized task execution time, and implicit task deadline. Most likely, a typical embedded real-time system does not fulfill these requirements. In this paper we address violations of these requirements. For heterogeneous task systems, we define the multiple time base (MTB) task system, which is a less pessimistic model than sporadic task systems and is used for automotive systems. We apply the concept of Pfair scheduling to MTB task systems, called partly proportionate fair (Partly-Pfair) scheduling. The restrictions on MTB task systems required for Partly-Pfair ness are weaker than restrictions on periodic task systems required for Pfair ness. In a simulation based study we examined the performance of Partly-Pfair-PD and found it capable to schedule feasible MTB task sets causing a load of up to 100\% of the system capacity.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{AltmannBirknerHaeckletal., author = {Altmann, Andreas and Birkner, Wolfgang and H{\"a}ckl, Franz-Xaver and Hanner, Christopher and Liebhart, Peter and Metschl, Samuel and Weck, Florian and Farmbauer, Michael and Heiß, Manfred and Cuno, H.-H. and Fuhrmann, Thomas and Mandl, Roland and Mottok, J{\"u}rgen and Niemetz, Michael}, title = {Payload development and launch of a stratosphere balloon mission}, series = {IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON 2014), 3-5 April 2014, Istanbul, Turkey}, booktitle = {IEEE Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON 2014), 3-5 April 2014, Istanbul, Turkey}, doi = {10.1109/EDUCON.2014.6826065}, abstract = {During a student project a stratosphere balloon was developed and launched.
