Research on embedded systems and machine learning integration, investigation of autonomous driving, and addresses challenges of embedded software design, development, and safety.
The Real-Time Embedded Software Research Lab (RTEMSOFT Lab) conducts transformative research in embedded systems and software development. Our core areas of expertise include:
- Embedded Systems: We design, develop, and test embedded systems to ensure they are reliable and efficient.
- Machine Learning (ML) Applications: We use machine learning to improve tasks such as test case prioritization. With our work in parallel computing, ML model training is faster, supporting edge and fog networks effectively.
- Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) Simulations with CARLA: We use the CARLA simulator to study and test autonomous driving in real-world-like conditions.
- Software Testing and Quality Assurance: We believe in thoroughly testing our software. Our goal is to make sure everything we produce works well and can be trusted.
- Software Security: We investigate and rectify any software vulnerabilities, guaranteeing software that stands resilient against potential threats.
The RTEMSOFT Lab offers an array of research services, catering to diverse sectors, including private, public, and non-profit:
- Embedded System Design and Development: Comprehensive services from designing to testing embedded software.
- Machine Learning (ML) Model Development: Creation, training, and deployment of ML models for various applications.
- HIL Simulations: Testing and refining autonomous driving modules using CARLA.
- Software Quality Assurance: Rigorous testing solutions to ensure high software quality.
- Software Security Assessment: In-depth analysis to uncover and rectify vulnerabilities.
- Optimized Software Development: Services that promote the reuse of software components, ensuring quicker turnarounds without quality drops.
