In the domain of server and mainframe systems, virtualizing a computing system’s physical resources to achieve improved sharing and utilization has been well established for decades. Full virtualization of all system resources, including processor, memory and I/O devices makes it pos- sible to run multiple operating systems on a single physical platform. Recently, the availability of full virtualization on physical platforms that target embedded systems creates new uses cases in the domain of real-time embedded systems. In a non virtualized system, a single OS controls all hard- ware platform resources. A virtualized system includes a new layer of software, the virtual machine monitor (VMM). The VMM’s principal role is to arbitrate accesses to the underlying physical host platform’s resources so that multiple operating systems can share them. The VMM presents to each OS a set of virtual platform interfaces that constitute a virtual machine. Given the existence of a multitude of VMMs that have been proved efficient in the domain of server and mainframe systems, there is a trend to reuse the existing work. However, there is a difference in the performance metric required by these two domains. In this dissertation we use an existing VMM to evaluate the performance of a real-time operating system. We observed that the virtual machine monitor affects the internal overheads and latencies of the guest operating system. This observation led us to conduct further investigation in order to answer the following question: what are the hardware mechanisms and software implementations that could prevent the system from meeting its deadlines and guaranteeing its real-time constraints? Our analysis revealed that hardware mechanisms that allow a VMM to provide an efficient way to virtualize the memory management unit, and the device interrupts, are necessary to limit the overhead of the virtualization on real-time systems. More importantly, the scheduling of virtual iii machines by the VMM is essential to guarantee the temporal constraints of the system and have to be configured carefully. In a second work, and starting from a previous project aiming at helping a system designer to explore a software-hardware co-design of a solution using high-level simulation models, we proposed a methodology that allow the transformation of a simulation model into an executable program on a real hardware. The idea is to provide the system designer with the necessary tools to rapidly explore the design space and validate it, and then to generate a configuration that could be used directly on top of a real hardware. We used a model-driven engineering approach to perform a model-to-model transformation to convert the simulation model into an executable model. And we used a middleware able to sup- port a variety of resources allocation techniques in order to implement the configuration previously selected by the system designer during the simulation phase. We proposed a prototype that imple- ments our methodology and validate our concepts. The results of the experiments confirmed the viability of the approach. iv To my parents, Abdelhamid and Kalthoum. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisors, Fabienne Nouvel and Jean-Christophe Prevotet´ for their unwavering support, for their help, and their precious advices.

Enabling Mobile Service Continuity across Orchestrated Edge Networks Osamah Ibrahiem Abdullaziz, Student Member, IEEE, Li-Chun Wang, Fellow, IEEE, Shahzoob Bilal Chundrigar and Kuei-Li Huang Abstract—Edge networking has become an important technology for providing low-latency services to end users. However, deploying an edge network does not guarantee continuous service for mobile users. Mobility can cause frequent interruptions and network delays as users leave the initial serving edge. In this paper, we propose a solution to provide transparent service continuity for mobile users in large-scale WiFi networks. The contribution of this work has three parts. First, we propose ARNAB architecture to achieve mobile service continuity. The term ARNAB means rabbit in Arabic, which represents an Architecture for Transparent Service Continuity via Double-tier Migration. The first tier migrates user connectivity, while the second tier migrates user containerized applications. ARNAB provides mobile services just like rabbits hop through the WiFi infrastructure.
