Abstract

Introduction to the Special LCTES ™05 Issue This special issue of TECS contains a digest of the four best papers from the ACM Conference on Languages, Compilers, and Tools for Embedded Systems 2005 (LCTES ™05) with sponsorship from SIGPLAN and, since 2004, also from SIGBED. The LCTES conference has become one of the a premier venues on embedded systems. In addition to extended versions of four papers that appeared in LCTES ™05, this special issue also contains two additional papers that address issues of importance to the LCTES community. The rst article, Software Design Patterns for TinyOS by Gay et al., identi es design patterns used by software components in the TinyOS sensor network operating system. These design patterns differ from traditional software design patterns because of the constraints of sensor networks. The article also describes how the nesC language has evolved to support these design patterns by including a few simple language primitives and optimizations. The second article, Automated Reduction of the Memory Footprint of the Linux Kernel by Chanet et al., proposes a link-time compaction and specialization techniques for Linux kernel that exploits the known setup of embedded systems.
