Tools and code

NC-maude

NC-maude have been developped to allow to play with Network Calculus. Current version is 1.9.5. You will need the Maude tool to use it.

You can have a look here to get my feedback on the use of rewriting language in this project.

C++ Code : CheckedNumeric

CheckedNumeric<T> is a C++ class that behaves like a numerical type, but with a checking of overflow and underflow, and throwing of an exception when the results is out of bounds.
Code example:

CheckedNumeric<unsigned int>
x,y;
x=y=0;
x++;
cout<<++x; // Outputs 2
x=y-1; //
Throw a CheckedNumeric<unsigned int>::numeric_overflow
exception
 

You can download the sources.

C Code : The Basic Preprocessed Library

The Basic Preprocessed Library: this is an attempt of having a set of container and algorithms (like the STL in C++) type-safe and efficient in C, using the preprocessor.
You can browse the documentation: a short user manual and developper manual, and download the sources.
Any feedbacks are welcome!

Resilient TSN industrial challenge

The project "Resilient TSN" is a french project (ANR-22-ASTR-0017) devoted the reconfiguration of TSN networks.

An "Industrial challenge" is proposed to the academic community. This challenge is part of the ECRTS industrial challenges.

Here can be found

• The technical report presenting the global architecture and the problems to be solved;
• The datatset giving the list of network elements, the topology and the data flows.

Any discussion related to this challenge is supposed to take place on the ecrts-industrial-challenge google group.
