Evolution analysis of a UAV real-time operating system from a network perspective

With the flourishing development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the mission tasks of UAVs have become more and more complex. Consequently, a Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) that provides operating environments for various mission services on these UAVs has become crucial, which leads to the necessity of having a deep understanding of an RTOS. In this paper, an empirical study is conducted on FreeRTOS, a commonly used RTOS for UAVs, from a complex network perspective. A total of 85 releases of FreeRTOS, from V2.4.2 to V10.0.0, are modeled as directed networks, in which the nodes represent functions and the edges denote function calls. It is found that the size of the FreeRTOS network has grown almost linearly with the evolution of the versions, while its main core has evolved steadily. In addition, a k-core analysis-based metric is proposed to identify major functionality changes of FreeRTOS during its evolution. The result shows that the identified versions are consistent with the version change logs. Finally, it is found that the clustering coefficient of the Linux OS scheduler is larger than that of the FreeRTOS scheduler. In conclusion, the empirical results provide useful guidance for developers and users of UAV RTOSs.     

Period selection for integrated controller tasks in cyber-physical systems

Performance optimization of cyber-physical systems(CPS)calls for co-design strategies that handle the issues in both computing domain and physical domain.Periods of controller tasks integrated into a uniprocessor system are related to both control performance and real-time schedulability analysis simultaneously.System performance improvement can be achieved by optimizing the periods of controller tasks.This paper extends an existing model to select task periods in real-time for CPS with fixed priority controller tasks scheduled by rate-monotonic algorithm.When all the tasks can be integrated,the analytic solution of the problem is derived by using the method of Lagrange multipliers and gradient descent method is evaluated to be suitable online.To further deal with the condition that the system is overloaded,an integrated method is proposed to select periods of tasks online by selecting a subset of tasks first and then optimizing the periods for them.Experimental results demonstrate that our method yields near-optimal result with a short running time.

涡轮泵振动参数与统计特征量的线性相关性分析

为了剔除冗余的振动参数和统计特征量，提高涡轮泵故障检测的实时能力，建立了线性相关性假设检验模型。利用该假设检验模型和某型液体火箭发动机的历史试车数据，检验了7路涡轮泵振动参数以及13种常用统计特征量的线性相关性，并分析了统计特征量对涡轮泵故障的敏感性和稳定性，以及涡轮泵振动数据的正态性。数据统计分析表明，大部分涡轮泵振动参数以及统计特征量显著线性相关，幅值统计特征量的故障敏感性弱，但稳定性强，而无量纲统计特征量的情况恰好相反，并且正常涡轮泵振动数据服从正态分布，而异常涡轮泵振动数据不再服从正态分布。据此，为涡轮泵故障检测选择了线性相关性弱，故障特征反映能力强的3路振动参数和3种统计特征量。
