Critical Systems Research Group

The research activity of the Critical Systems Research Group (formerly Fault Tolerant Systems Group | ftsrg) extends over the following main fields.

  • Developing critical systems: methods and tools for model-based development of critical and cyber-physical systems.
  • Verification and testing: application of formal methods and model-based testing to verify functional and extra-functional (dependability, performance, safety) properties of critical services and systems.
  • Empirical systems design: analysing performance and dependability requirements, benchmarking and fault modeling.
  • The successful R&D activity of the group is hallmarked by involvement in the following recent or on-going projects: Addressing Verification and Validation Challenges in Future Cyber-Physical Systems (ADVANCE, 2019-2022), Reconfigurable ROS-based Resilient Reasoning Robotic Cooperating Systems (R5-COP, 2014-2017), Scalable Modelling and Model Management on the Cloud (MONDO, 2014-2016), CErtification of CRItical Systems (CECRIS, 2013-2016), Guaranteed Component Assembly with Round Trip Analysis for Energy Efficient High-integrity Multi-core systems (CONCERTO, 2013-2016), and host of the MTA-BME “Lendület” 2015 Research Group on Cyber-Physical Systems.

Active and recent industrial collaboration of the group includes thyssenkrupp, Ericsson, Prolan, IncQueryLabs, Quanopt and CERN.

Embedded Systems Research Group

The Embedded Systems Group maintains the traditional research activities of the Department in signal processing: acoustic research, power spectrum estimation in the presence of data loss, ADC testing, compensation of linear and non-linear distortion of sensors and measurement systems, non-invasive blood pressure measurement with increased reliability.

The Network Embedded Systems Laboratory (NESlab) of the group has acquired competencies in the field of observer based surveillance systems, industrial and automotive applications of real-time embedded networking (CAN, CAN FD, FlexRay, Ethernet, IEEE 1588 precision clock synchronization, AVB, and Time Sensitive Networks), testing and verification of embedded systems, wired and wireless sensor networks, large-scale sensor integration.

Two recent R&D projects should be highlighted: Reconfigurable ROS-based Resilient Reasoning Robotic Cooperating Systems (R5-COP, 2014–2017), and Investigation of Optimal Parameter Estimation Methods (OTKA 2015–2018).

The group has intensive cooperation with many electrical and electronic R&D companies like Robert Bosch Ltd., Intel, Ericsson, National Instruments, OMICRON Lab, Silicon Laboratories, Texas Instruments, TTTech Computertechnik AG, Zodiac Data Systems GmbH, and ThyssenKrupp Presta Hungary Ltd.

Network Embedded Systems Laboratory

The primary aim of the Network Embedded Systems Laboratory (NESlab) is to take part in research, development and education of the wired and wireless communication of embedded systems, distributed embedded information systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS).

NESlab has practical experience of microcontroller based or application processors based embedded system design, embedded operating systems including Linux and FreeRTOS, sensors and actuators, and communication technologies. We have detailed implementation and architectural level knowledge of Ethernet, Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), IEEE 802.15, TCP/IP, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, and WEB technologies, including the modern IoT application layer protocols. In addition, we have experiance with real-time communication technologies such as TTEthernet and other Ethernet and TCP/IP based real-time technologies, and precision clock synchronization technologies like IEEE 1588 and time sensitive networking technologies as AVB and TSN. The laboratory is also active in the automotive and vehicular communication field. We have practical experiance with CAN, LIN, and FlexRay.
