Sommario/riassunto

On 26 February 1991, cavalry troops of "Cougar Squadron," the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment, charged out of a sandstorm during Operation Desert Storm and caught Iraq's Republican Guard Corps in the open desert along the North-South grid line of a military map referred to as the "73 Easting." Taken by surprise, the defending Iraqi armor brigade was swept away in salvos of American tank and missile fire in what became the U.S. Army's largest tank battle since World War II. Douglas Macgregor, the man who trained and led Cougar Squadron into battle, recounts two stories. On

Sommario/riassunto

This edition of the 12th IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium (RTAS 2006) contains 38 peer-reviewed papers. RTAS has established itself as the premier academic conference addressing both the theory and practice of real-time and embedded computing. RTAS 2006 covers the traditional core area of real-time and



embedded systems infrastructure and theory, as well as three additional areas of special emphasis: embedded applications; development, verification, and debug tools for real-time and embedded systems; and embedded systems hardware/software interaction and co-design.
