  • Shaping Future Digital Citizens in Aotearoa/New Zealand Schools: Vision and Challenges
    2017
    Co-Authors: Nicki Dabner
    Abstract:

    The New Zealand Ministry of Education promotes the use of digital technologies in schools to support future-focused learning and to achieve the Vision for New Zealand young people, as stated in the national school curriculum document, to become confident, connected, actively involved, lifelong learners. This Vision Statement, extended in meaning since its inception in 2007 to further encompass the development of digital citizens, has influenced the strategic direction for educational developments in New Zealand and is supported by a range of Ministry of Education initiatives. However, a number of challenges have arisen that impact the ability for New Zealand educators to fully implement this Vision in schools. This short paper presents a review of literature that illustrates the Vision for young citizens in New Zealand, and describes some current challenges faced by New Zealand educators as they aim to realize this Vision in complex digitally enhanced environments.

  • PROARTIS: Probabilistically analyzable real-time systems
    Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems, 2013
    Co-Authors: Francisco J. Cazorla, Guillem Bernat, Eduardo Quin Ones, Liliana Cucu, Benoit Triquet, Emery Berger, Franck Wartel, Tullio Vardanega, Jaume Abella, Michael Houston
    Abstract:

    Static timing analysis is the state-of-the-art practice of ascertaining the timing behavior of current-generation real-time embedded systems. The adoption of more complex hardware to respond to the increas-ing demand for computing power in next-generation systems exacerbates some of the limitations of static timing analysis. In particular, the effort of acquiring (1) detailed information on the hardware to develop an accurate model of its execution latency as well as (2) knowledge of the timing behavior of the program in the presence of varying hardware conditions, such as those dependent on the history of previously executed instructions. We call these problems the timing analysis walls. In this Vision-Statement article, we present probabilistic timing analysis, a novel approach to the analysis of the timing behavior of next-generation real-time embedded systems. We show how probabilistic timing analysis attacks the timing analysis walls; we then illustrate the mathematical foundations on which this method is based and the challenges we face in the effort of efficiently implementing it. We also present experimental evidence that shows how probabilistic timing analysis reduces the extent of knowledge about the execution platform required to produce probabilistically accurate WCET estimations.

    Abstract:

    Static Timing Analysis is the state-of-the-art practice to ascertain the timing behaviour of current-generation real-time embedded systems. The adoption of more complex hardware to respond to the increasing demand for computing power in next-generation systems exacerbates some of the limitations of Static Timing Analysis. In particular, the effort of acquiring (1) detail information on the hardware to develop an accurate model of its execution latency as well as (2) knowledge of the timing behaviour of the program in the presence of varying hardware conditions, such as those dependent on the history of previously executed instructions. We call these problems the Timing Analysis Walls. In this Vision-Statement paper we present Probabilistic Timing Analysis, a novel approach to the analysis of the timing behaviour of next-generation real-time embedded systems. We show how Probabilistic Timing Analysis attacks the Timing Analysis Walls; we then illustrate the mathematical foundations on which this method is based and the challenges we face in the effort of efficiently implementing it. We also present experimental evidence that shows how Probabilistic Timing Analysis reduces the extent of knowledge about the execution platform required to produce probabilistically-safe and tight WCET estimations.

  • DRDC Toronto Technical Stream Integrated Capabilities and Vision
    2011
    Co-Authors: Rick Auger, Troy Beechinor, Hamid Boland, Brenda Fraser, Allan Keefe, Nada J. Pavlovic, Doug Saunders, Phil Terhaar
    Abstract:

    Abstract : With the success of Defence Research & Development Canada -- Toronto's Organizational Alignment Program and Professional Partnership Philosophy, the Technical Stream (TS) was presented with the challenge of providing a foundation for its success through the identification of their unique, integrated capabilities and the impact that they have towards achieving the organizational mission. A secondary objective was to develop a TS Vision Statement that would be instituted within the Technical Council Charter. A project team of eight TS members, representing military and civilians from all sections, and a wide range of occupational groups and experience, developed a notional set of integrated capabilities and Vision Statements. These were presented to all Technical Professionals through a town-hall meeting and published on Corpranet for review. Based on the feedback received, four current and four developing integrated capabilities and the TS Vision Statement were identified, and presented at the 2010 All Staff Briefing and subsequent Management Committee Meeting. Based on positive reception and acceptance, a multi-phase notional roadmap was proposed to provide a strategy for future TS development. This roadmap is based on the themes of: a) upholding the Technical Profession, b) developing the Technical Professional, c) fostering a culture of collaboration and networks, and d) expanding the Technical Professional's influence. Through the identification of the TS integrated capabilities and Vision Statement, and the way forward provided by the notional roadmap, the TS is poised to achieve greater excellence and impact towards the DRDC Toronto mission.
