abstract = {Programming heterogeneous and distributed manycores under timing constraints in cyber-physical systems is an extremely hard task. Managing reactive behaviour to outside stimuli, adapting to variable workloads and handling parallelism while ensuring correct and time-predictable execution are examples of key challenges in these kinds of systems. This talk discusses the role of formal models of computation to help architect programming methodologies, making it easier to manage the complexity and provide guarantees than with ad-hoc programming models. We will discuss dataflow-based programming for joint optimization of multiple adaptable applications while respecting real-time constraints. We will then introduce the reactor model which adds time semantics to dataflow to support time-determinism when needed and to account for reactive behavior. The benefits and overheads of this model-based approach to programming distributed embedded systems will be analysed with use cases from the automotive and 5G-communication domains.},
