abstract = {Localization of objects in cluttered scenes with machine learning methods is a fairly
young research area. Especially for logistical environments, there has not been much
published work on that topic. Despite the high potential of object localization for
full process automation in Industry 4.0, data sets for such applications, to train and
test machine learning models, are not openly available.
Although the recent hype around neural feedforward networks has covered a lot of
research topics, it mostly focused on 1D- and 2D-sensor-signals in the form of audio
and images, while spatial 3D-sensor data, which would allow such an accurate object
localization, remained mostly untouched. In this thesis, a full solution is provided on
how to localize logistical objects in isolated 3D-sensor scans. It utilizes feedforward
networks and ranges from the generation of the training data for the networks, over
the detection of objects in the 3D-sensor data, up to the estimation of the object
poses for the detected objects. To generate sample training data of 3D-sensors, a
novel method is proposed, which allows the training of feedforward networks in con-
text of logistical environments in a self-supervised manner by simulating 3D-sensor
scans of randomly generated, but structurally valid scenes. Meanwhile, for the ob-
ject detection and pose estimation, some known solutions from similar problems are
inspected, compared, combined, and optimized, to present a new approach to solve
the given task. Hereby, resource limitations during the execution of the proposed
solution are considered, as in many mobile use-cases such an object localization has
to run efficiently on an embedded system.
The here presented method is able to reliably detect logistical objects of indefinite
amounts at 5 frames per second in a sequential operation on an NVIDIA Jetson
AGX Xavier, while consuming 12.4W of power on average. As in related work, the
pose estimation is not precise enough for symmetric objects. However, at the end of
this thesis, some possible improvements for the solution are proposed to reduce the
run-time and increase the accuracy of the entire system.

Memory Access Analysis and Endurance Leveling Approaches for Non-volatile Working Memory Systems.

abstract = {Emerging technologies for non-volatile memory (NVM), such as phase-change memory (PCM), ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM), spin-transfer torque magnetoresistive RAM (STT-MRAM) and many more, have been considered as a replacement for DRAM and storage due to low leakage power, high capacity and fast access times. A major disadvantage of some NVMs is the significantly lower write endurance compared to DRAM. To tackle this issue, several in-memory wear-leveling approaches have been proposed in literature, targeting the program execution to make the memory write usage more uniform. These approaches operate on different granularities, like memory pages, cache-lines, big segments, etc. Aging-aware approaches take the current wear-level of memory cells into account to make the best wear-leveling decisions, while other approaches try to balance the wear-level in a random based manner or in a circular manner. However, most approaches propose specialized hardware controllers to collect the aging information and to perform wear-leveling actions, like relocations of memory regions.
As specialized hardware may be hard to build at all, this thesis proposes so-called software only wear-leveling, which only makes use of commonly available hardware components. Aging-aware wear-leveling on the granularity of virtual memory pages is achieved by estimating the cell aging by a statistical runtime approximation. As an extension to this, fine-grained wear-leveling for the stack region of applications is achieved by relocating the stack periodically in a circular manner through a reserved memory region.
The necessity for commonly available hardware components only allows the techniques to be executed in a full system simulation setup (i.e. gem5 as a simulator for an ARM CPU and NVMain 2.0 as a simulator for the NVM) for evaluation purposes. The results show that coarse-grained aging-aware wear-leveling with approximated cell ages works out, but cannot resolve non-uniform write distributions within virtual memory pages. This limits the gained improvement of the memory lifetime up to a factor of ≈ 13 compared to the baseline without any wear-leveling. Combining the coarse-grained approach with the fine- grained stack wear-leveling technique, the non-uniformity caused by the stack region can be resolved and the evaluations result in an improvement of the memory lifetime up to a factor of ≈ 900 compared to the baseline.},

abstract = {As chip technology keeps on shrinking towards higher densities and lower operating voltages, memory and logic components are now vulnerable to electromagnetic inference and radiation, leading to transient faults in the underlying hardware, which may jeopardize the correctness of software execution and cause so-called soft errors. To mitigate threats of soft errors, embedded-software developers have started to deploy Software-Implemented Hardware Fault Tolerance (SIHFT) techniques. However, the main cost is the significant amount of time due to the additional computation of using SIHFT techniques. To support safety critical systems, e.g., computing systems in automotive and avionic devices, real-time system technology has been primarily used and been widely studied. While considering hardware transient faults and SIHFT techniques with real-time system technology, novel scheduling approaches and schedulability analyses are desired to provide a less pessimistic o -line guarantee for timeliness or at least to provide a certain degree of performance for new application models. Moreover, reliability
optimizations also need to be designed thoughtfully while considering different resource constraints.
In this dissertation, we present three treatments for soft errors. Firstly, we study how to allow erroneous computations without deadline misses by modeling inherent safety margins and noise tolerance in control applications as (m; k) constraints. We further discuss how a given (m; k) requirement can be satisfied by individual error detection and flexible compensations while satisfying the given hard real-time constraints. Secondly, we
analyze the probability of deadline misses and the deadline miss rate in soft real-time systems, which allow to have occasional deadline misses without erroneous computations. Thirdly, we consider how to deploy redundant multi-threading techniques to improve the system reliability under two different system models for multi-core systems: 1) Under core-to-core frequency variations, we address the reliability-aware task-mapping problem.
2) We decide on redundancy levels for each task while satisfying the given real-time constraints and the limited redundant cores even under multi-tasking. Finally, an enhancement for real time operating systems is also provided to maintain the strict periodicity for task overruns due to potential transient faults, especially on one popular platform named Real-Time Executive for Multiprocessor Systems (RTEMS).},

be considered as malicious and therefore as an attack. After detection, in particular, the
recognition of attackers or targeted attacks is a serious problem: Several sessions of pos-
sibly multiple attackers must be linked reliably.
For this purpose, an approach for targeted attacks is presented in this thesis which uses a
transparent proxy and a high-interaction honeypot as a foundation. These are integrated
into a complex architecture and allow an attacker to reach an isolated network segment
- the HoneyLab. Apart from the architecture active and passive measures are used to
recognize the attacker. Some of these include injection of unique credentials and URLs,
client and browser fingerprinting and a comprehensive data recording.
The main concept is to let the attacker build up a unique and compromised knowledge. If
the attacker uses this knowledge in several attacks or sessions, it will be used against him
which leads to recognition.
The implemented approach is evaluated with security professionals and random real-world
attackers. The security professionals were asked to behave as if they were participating
in a Capture the Flag (CTF) event and were reliably recognized by the approach. The
random real-world attackers could be detected but not recognized because they only used
automatic scans without any human interaction or malicious activities. Since targeted
attacks and not automatic scanners were focused, this can nevertheless be considered a
success.

- the HoneyLab. Apart from the architecture active and passive measures are used to
recognize the attacker. Some of these include injection of unique credentials and URLs,
client and browser fingerprinting and a comprehensive data recording.
The main concept is to let the attacker build up a unique and compromised knowledge. If
the attacker uses this knowledge in several attacks or sessions, it will be used against him
which leads to recognition.
The implemented approach is evaluated with security professionals and random real-world
attackers. The security professionals were asked to behave as if they were participating
in a Capture the Flag (CTF) event and were reliably recognized by the approach. The
random real-world attackers could be detected but not recognized because they only used
automatic scans without any human interaction or malicious activities. Since targeted
attacks and not automatic scanners were focused, this can nevertheless be considered a
success.

reliable motion information of the vehicle when it travels around the surrounding (inside

Further, the most important dispute in autonomous application is to obtain good estima-
tion of position and orientation values for improving its performance. For accomplishing
this, the conventional localization approach seen in [1] use the measurements from Global
Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Inertial measurement unit (IMU).
The major drawback of that conventional approach is :
1 The errors will get accumulated over the time because of the drift present in the
IMU measurement data, and
2 The signal from GNSS will not be fully available or not reliable i.e. sometime the
strength of the GNSS signal will be diminished in some region, for instance, in
dense urban city, inside the tunnel, etc.
Thereby, it is very difficult to get good estimation of localization information from those
sensor measurements.
In this thesis work, we propose a stereo-vision based vehicle localization method to over-
come the drawback of above mentioned traditional approach. In the proposed method,
we use visual odometry technique [2] together with IMU, GNSS, and wheel odometry for
estimating the pose of the vehicle in GPS denied environment. The measurement data
from multiple sensors are fused together using Extended Kalman Filter(EKF) approach
[3][4] to provide more accurate and reliable motion information for autonomous vehicle
navigation. The proposed method can perform with, or independently of GNSS system,
thereby it can be used as a backup to GNSS system. And also we have tested the developed algorithm on both simulated and real data.

abstract = {For many real-time applications, it is often too restrictive to assume that tasks are executed only
in a uniprocessor system and all of them are completely independent, because tasks will often
compete for shared resources. The access to the shared resource, called critical section of the task
execution, is mutually exclusive to prevent race conditions. In fact, it is not possible that two jobs
access the shared resource at the same time. As shared resources must be serially executed to
achieve mutual exclusion, the execution of critical sections inevitably causes some delay due to
priority inversion, which means, a task is prevented from executing due to another task with a
lower priority that holds a shared resource, also called pi-blocking. To avoid unnecessary blocking
of high-priority tasks due to unrelated shared resources, there exists some locking protocols. Two
well-known of these locking protocols for systems with one processor, also called uniprocessor
systems, are Priority Inheritance Protocol (PIP) [1] and the Priority Ceiling Protocol (PCP) [1].
Although the PIP could solve the problem of priority inversion, it might cause a deadlock if there
are multiple resources. Through the use of PCP proposed by Sha et. al [1], deadlock can never
occur.
Resource sharing becomes more complex when considering multiprocessor platforms instead of
uniprocessor platforms, because in multiprocessor systems the task-suspending and task-spinning
may come into play. Under spinning approach, tasks busy-wait in a tight loop or called “spin” to
the processor, while it is waiting for accessing a shared resource. Under suspending approach,
tasks relinquish their processor and suspend during the time waiting for a shared resource
accessing. There exist some protocols, which support both mechanisms, e.g. Multiprocessor Slack
Resource Policy (MSRP) [2] as a spin-based multiprocessor locking protocol as well as Distributed
Priority Ceiling Protocol (DPCP) [3] and Multiprocessor Priority Ceiling Protocol (MPCP) [4]
under suspending approach. Although, many suspension-based and spin-based locking protocols
have been designed and analyzed in the last years, it has been relatively little investigated, that
under which settings which one of the suspension-based and the spin-based locking protocols are
in general preferable. Therefore, this tradeoff has to be analyzed and some break-even
configurations should be determined. The only result in this area is published in [5], which
concludes that “blocking by suspending is rarely preferable to spinning (provided spinning can be
done in-cache, which we assume)”. However, the analysis in [5] is conducted only considering the
Flexible Multiprocessor Locking Protocol (FMLP).
In this thesis other locking protocols than FMLP will be taken into consideration and finally the
conditions that favor spin-based locking protocols over suspension-based locking protocols and
the other way around, will be specified. To this end, first a test-bed based on the platform
LITMUSRT [6] [7] will be set up and then those protocols will be tested under different settings of

abstract = {The thesis investigates the applicability of the current state of art in mobile excavators to semi-automate the digging function which not only helps the operator in controlling the tool inclination but also adds to the safety and reduces work load. The developed model estimates the position of an end-effector of an excavator with certain accuracy, having limited or no information about the critical system parameters that contribute to the estimation error. In this study, various sources of error such as sensor errors, calibration errors and mechanical/geometric errors are identified. Analytical models are derived for the selected parameters and their inclusion to the existing process is shown. In order to quantify the impact of each parameter on system accuracy, a detailed error analysis is performed.

The thesis investigates the applicability of the current state of art in mobile excavators to semi-automate the digging function which not only helps the operator in controlling the tool inclination but also adds to the safety and reduces work load. The developed model estimates the position of an end-effector of an excavator with certain accuracy, having limited or no information about the critical system parameters that contribute to the estimation error. In this study, various sources of error such as sensor errors, calibration errors and mechanical/geometric errors are identified. Analytical models are derived for the selected parameters and their inclusion to the existing process is shown. In order to quantify the impact of each parameter on system accuracy, a detailed error analysis is performed. Two test cases are studied, and the error is recorded for the typical and maximum variations in each case. A variance based global sensitivity analysis method is employed to measure not only the main effect of a parameter but all the interactions in the model involving that parameter. The variations in parameters are represented by probability distributions and error is propagated using Monte Carlo simulations. The parameters are then ranked based on their contribution to the total output variance.

Mobile embedded systems are widespread in today’s society and are used for all kinds of purposes whatsoever. However, these embedded systems have limitations with respect to processing power and battery life, due to the requirement of being mobile. To overcome these limitations these systems communicate with servers to save energy and increase computation speed. In the setup in this thesis, the remote execution of a task on a server can theoretically reduce the consumption of energy by 99%.
But there are some challenges when communicating with a server. A network can be overloaded and therefore have a low bandwidth or being not reachable. This thesis proposes a new model that uses Nearby Resources as Auxiliary Resources. This model will be evaluated on real hardware using different tasks as examples for real-life applications. Using Nearby Resources can save up to 98% per task and also reduce the workload on remote servers and the relieve the bandwidth.},

This study investigates the two major problems associated with the application of dynamic programming for the optimization of hybrid marine power trains.
The first issue is the high number of computations, which increases exponentially with the size of the problem. In order to reduce the number of computations, a variant of dynamic programming is investigated, called the iterative dynamic programming. The implementation problems with iterative dynamic programming have also been investigated and solutions are proposed to tackle the problems.
The second issue is the loss of optimality due to the discretization of the continuous power train model. The introduction of different errors and their propagation through the optimization process is investigated. Multiple solutions are proposed in this area that aim to reduce the discretization errors without increasing the number of computations.
In order to test and experimentally verify the investigations, two test cases of hybrid power trains are defined.

abstract = {Real-time systems are designed for applications in which response time is critical. As timing is a major property of such systems, proving timing correctness is of utter importance. To achieve this, a two-fold approach of timing analysis is traditionally involved: (i) worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis, which computes an upper bound on the execution time of a single job of a task running in isolation; and (ii) schedulability analysis using the WCET as the input, which determines whether multiple tasks are guaranteed to meet their deadlines. Formal models used for representing recurrent real-time tasks have traditionally been characterized by a collection of independent jobs that are released periodically. However, such a modeling may result in resource under-utilization in systems whose behaviors are not entirely periodic or independent. Examples are (i) multicore platforms where tasks share a communication fabric, like bus, for accesses to a shared memory beside processors; (ii) tasks with synchronization, where no two concurrent access to one shared resource are allowed to be in their critical section at the same time; and (iii) automotive systems, where tasks are linked to rotation (e.g., of the crankshaft, gears, or wheels). There, their activation rate is proportional to the angular velocity of a specific device. This dissertation presents multiple approaches towards designing scheduling algorithms and schedulability analysis for a variety of real-time systems with different characteristics. Specifically, we look at those design problems from the perspective of speedup factor — a metric that quantifies both the pessimism of the analysis and the non-optimality of the scheduling algorithm. The proposed solutions are shown promising by means of not only speedup factor but also extensive evaluations.},

abstract = {Embedded/Cyber-physical systems have become popular in a wide range of application scenarios. Such systems are called real-time systems if they underlie strict timing constraints. To verify if such systems can meet their deadlines, the knowledge of an upper bound for a program's execution time is mandatory. This upper bound is also called worst-case execution time (WCET) and is estimated by static timing analyzers. Established optimizing compilers are not aware of the WCET as objective since they focus on the minimization of the average-case execution time (ACET). To overcome this obstacle, this thesis presents memory-based optimization techniques which focus on the reduction of the WCET of programs. All presented optimizations are integrated into the WCET-aware C Compiler (WCC) framework. Since the memory interface of a system often turns out to be a bottleneck which limits the performance of a system, the presented optimizations are applied to different levels of the memory hierarchy of a system. Starting within a CPU core, the instruction fetch buffer is the most tightly coupled memory which tries to provide the next few instructions to be executed. Optimization techniques are presented improving the efficiency of this buffer w.r.t. the WCET of a system. Instruction caches placed between the CPU core and the main memory try to speed up accesses to the main memory by storing local copies in fast small cache memories. In order to improve the efficiency of this part of the memory hierarchy, a memory content selection approach is introduced which improves the WCET of a program by improving the cache performance. Due to the fact that multi-task systems are employed in almost all domains, this thesis presents elaborate extensions to a compiler supporting the compilation and WCET-aware optimization of multi-task systems. These extensions are exploited to develop a number of novel optimizations for systems running multiple tasks. As first optimization, a WCET-driven software-based cache partitioning demonstrates the effectiveness of considering the WCET for the optimization of a set of tasks. Furthermore, many embedded systems integrate so-called scratchpad memories (SPM) as tightly coupled memories. An optimization approach for SPM allocation in a multi-task scenario is proposed. Besides, a holistic view of memory architecture compilation considers a number of memory-based WCET optimizations and presents approaches for a combined application. Existing compiler frameworks which are able to consider the WCET during optimization are limited to a particular hardware platform. In order to support multiple platforms, this thesis presents techniques to extend an existing WCET-aware compiler framework. Based on these extensions, a novel static cache locking optimization selects memory blocks which are statically locked into the instruction cache driven by WCET reductions. Applying these optimizations, the WCET of real-time applications can be reduced by about 35% to 48%. These results underline the need for specialized WCET-driven optimization techniques integrated into a sophisticated compiler framework. Otherwise, immense optimization potential would remain unused resulting in oversized and thus costly Embedded/Cyber-physical systems.
