Abstract
Gesigning time-critical systems remains an ever-challenging task. Not only do new application domains require new solutions, but rapidly developing new architectures for multi- and many-core systems also demand new approaches. In fact, this special issue drew the most submissions in recent IEEE Design&Test history. The guest editors present six technical papers in this issue, and there will also be a second part to this special issue in the May/June issue of IEEE Design&Test . Further highlights of this special issue include a survey by the guest editors entitled “Time-Critical Systems Design: A Survey” and a perspective by Edward Lee, “What Is Real-Time Computing? A Personal View”. He argues that real-time properties of programs result from implementation, but they should be specified in the models, and as such this lack can be solved by “... making a commitment to deterministic models that embrace temporal properties as an integral part of the modeling paradigm.” Many thanks to the guest editors for their extraordinary work on this series of two special issues, which have the merit to set a landmark contribution to the field of time-critical systems design.
