Best Paper Award at ICESS 2021

The paper entitled "Bus-Contention Aware WCRT Analysis for the 3-Phase Task Model Considering a Work-Conserving Bus Arbitration Scheme", presented by CISTER PhD Student Jatin Arora, at the 17th International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS 2021) has earned the “Best Paper Award”.

The International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems (ICESS) is a global forum for researchers and developers from academia, industry, and government to present and discuss emerging ideas and trends in embedded software and systems.

The paper authored by Jatin Arora, Cláudio Maia, Syed Aftab Rashid, Geoffrey Nelissen, and Eduardo Tovar, proposed a fine-grained bus contention analysis for the 3-phase task model considering partitioned scheduling and round-robin bus arbitration policy. The work also proposed an algorithm to accurately quantify the impact of lower priority tasks running on the same core. The experimental evaluation reveals that the proposed analysis outperforms the state-of-the-art analyses.
