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)
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.
Projects
- Architecture Communication ICIP60 (2009 - 2012): Intelbras
- Corporate Video Conferencing (2010 - 2011): Intelbras
- eSDR: Embedded Software-defined Radio (2009 - 2010): DÃgitro
- UnderNET: Underground Energy Distribution Network Monitoring System (2007 - 2008): CELESC
- Serial Terminal GSM (2007): vOffice
- Gateway GSM (2007): Khomp
- NanoPBX (2007): vOffice
Digital Television
LISHA has actively participated in the consortium of academic institutions that studied the proposal for the definition of Brazilian Digital Television Standard (SBTVD), and directly contributed to the studies of the Transport Layer and encoding of audio and video. Currently LISHA represents the UFSC on the SBTVD Forum and participate on the research network on DTV Set-top box proposing an free, scalable and open architecture for DTV STB.
