Real-Time Embedded Systems with Open-Source Operating Systems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781032976518)

Ivan Cibrario Bertolotti received the Laurea degree (summa cum laude) in computer science from the University of Torino, Turin, Italy, in 1996. Since then, he has been a researcher with the National Research Council of Italy (CNR). Currently, he is senior researcher with the Istituto di Elettronica e di Ingegneria dell'Informazione e delle Telecomunicazioni (IEIIT), Turin, Italy.
His research interests include real-time operating system design and implementation, industrial communication systems and protocols, and formal methods for security and dependability analysis of distributed systems. Along the years, he published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles on these subjects, while also co-authoring several book chapters and three books. His contribution encompasses both theoretical work and practical applications, carried out in cooperation with leading Italian and
international companies. He has taught various courses on real-time operating systems at Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy, starting in 2003, as well as a PhD degree course at the University of Padova in 2009. He regularly serves as a technical referee for the main international conferences and journals on industrial informatics, factory automation, and communication. He has been an IEEE member since 2006.

Gabriele Manduchi received the Laurea Degree (summa cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Padua, Italy, in 1987. Since then, he has been a researcher with the National Research Council (CNR). He is currently with the Istituto Gas Ionizzati (IGI), Padua, Italy. Since 1989 he has been involved in the design and development of acquisition and realtime control systems for large physics experiments. In particular, he is one of the developers of MDSplus, an open source data acquisition system widely adopted in nuclear fusion experiments. He is also one of the developers of the real-time control system of the RFX, a nuclear fusion experiment in the framework of the coordinated European Fusion Development Agreement. He has been also involved as deputy project leader in the International Tokamak Modeling European task aiming at building a comprehensive simulation framework for thermonuclear fusion. Since 2021 he is project leader of the Control and Data Acquisition task for the nuclear fusion experiment DTT in Rome, Italy. His current research interests include real-time system design and implementation, large data management and supervision for mission-critical systems. Since 1995 Gabriele Manduchi has been teaching introductory and advanced courses on computer architectures at the University of Padua. In the last years, he has also taught PhD courses on Software Design Patterns and on Concurrent and Real-time Programming in the same University.
