Research, Development and Innovation
The Hardware and Software Integration Lab (LISHA) develops a series of projects in partnerships with private companies and public agencies in the areas of embedded systems design, telecommunications and digital TV.
Embedded Systems Design
LISHA investigates the use of ADESDmethodology for developing embedded systems. This methodology proposes the use of advanced engineering technics for building systems based on the use of components highly adapted to the execution scenario, thus facilitating their reuse. Currently the laboratory has a set of components (EPOS Project) for the implementation of applications in areas as sensor networks, home automation, remote data acquisition, telecommunication and digital video entertainment devices.
Projects
- EPOS: Embedded Parallel Operating System (1997 - )
- PDSCE: Embedded System Development Platform (2004 - 2007)
- SmartHome (2009 - )
- EPOS-Mote (2009 - )
- FlexES: Flexible Embedded Systems (2010 - 2012)
Automotive Systems
LISHA develops a number of projects involving partnerships with with automotive industry players such as Bosch, Renault, Stellantis, Intelbras, and Yak, and has an expertise in the areas of architectures for automotive systems, from software embedded at ECUs to automotive data lakes, including, data acquisition and storage, predictive maintenance, driver profiling, and autonomous vehicles.
Projects
- SmartData on Wheels - a Safe and Secure Runtime Support System for Autonomous Vehicles (2023 - )
- Auto5G — Intelligent Vehicle Telemetry and Supervision System (2023 - ) : Intelbras and Yak
- Secure and Privacy-Aware Data Lake for Vehicle Data Storage and Processing (2024 - ) : Renault, Stellantis, Bosch
- Intelligent Acquisition and Analysis System for ECUs (IASE) (2020 - 2023) and IASE II (2023-) : Renault
Telecommunication
LISHA develops a number of projects involving partnerships with local telecommunications companies, and has an expertise in the areas of architectures for telecommunication systems, communication GPRS / GSM, VoIP services (audio and video) and software-defined radio architecture.
