abstract = {The generation of efficient sequential code for
synchronous data-flow languages raises two
intertwined issues: control and memory
optimization. While the former has been extensively
studied, for instance in the compilation of LUSTRE
and SIGNAL, the latter has only been addressed in a
restricted manner. Yet, memory optimization becomes
a pressing issue when arrays are added to such
languages. This article presents a two-level
solution to the memory optimization problem. It
combines a compile-time optimization algorithm,
reminiscent of register allocation, paired with
language annotations on the source given by the
designer. Annotations express in-place modifications
and control where allocation is performed. Moreover,
they allow external functions performing in-place
modifications to be safely imported. Soundness of
annotations is guaranteed by a semilinear type
system and additional scheduling constraints. A key
feature is that annotations for well-typed programs
do not change the semantics of the language:
removing them may lead to less efficient code but
will not alter the semantics. The method has been
implemented in a new compiler for a LUSTRE-like
synchronous language extended with hierarchical
automata and arrays. Experiments show that the
proposed approach removes most of the unnecessary
array copies, resulting in faster code that uses
less memory. }

applications sequencing the tasks. We obtain
automatically an application-specific task handler

abstract = {We describe the extension of a reactive programming
language with a behavioral contract construct. It
is dedicated to the programming of reactive control
of applications in embedded systems, and involves
principles of the supervisory control of discrete
event systems. Our contribution is in a language
approach where modular discrete controller synthesis
(DCS) is integrated, and it is concretized in the
encapsulation of DCS into a compilation process.
From transition system specifications of possible
behaviors, DCS automatically produces controllers
that make the controlled system satisfy the property
given as objective. Our language features and
compiling technique provide
correctness-by-construction in that sense, and
enhance reliability and verifiability. Our
application domain is adaptive and reconfigurable
systems: closed-loop adaptation mechanisms enable
flexible execution of functionalities w.r.t.
changing resource and environment conditions. Our
language can serve programming such adaption
controllers. This paper particularly describes the
compilation of the language. We present a method
for the modular application of discrete controller
synthesis on synchronous programs, and its
integration in the BZR language. We consider
structured programs, as a composition of nodes, and
first apply DCS on particular nodes of the program,
in order to reduce the complexity of the controller
computation; then, we allow the abstraction of parts
of the program for this computation; and finally, we
show how to recompose the different controllers
computed from different abstractions for their
correct co-execution with the initial program. Our
work is illustrated with examples, and we present
quantitative results about its implementation.},

abstract = {{In the context of component-based embedded systems,
the management of dynamic reconfiguration in
adaptive systems is an increasingly important
feature. The Fractal component-based framework, and
its industrial instantiation MIND, provide for
support for control operations in the lifecycle of
components. Nevertheless, the use of complex and
integrated architectures make the management of this
reconfiguration operations difficult to handle by
programmers. To address this issue, we propose to
use Synchronous languages, which are a complete
approach to the design of reactive systems, based on
behavior models in the form of transition
systems. Furthermore, the design of closed-loop
reactive managers of reconfigurations can benefit
from formal tools like Discrete Controller
Synthesis. In this paper we describe an approach to
concretely integrate synchronous reconfiguration
managers in Fractal component-based systems. We
describe how to model the state space of the control
problem, and how to specify the control
objectives. We describe the implementation of the
resulting manager with the Fractal/Cecilia
programming environment, taking advantage of the
Comete distributed middleware. We illustrate and
validate it with the case study of the Comanche HTTP
server on a multi-core execution platform.}},
