Structured platform for multiple virtual machines

Abstract

As processors that are used in embedded systems become increasingly more powerful, a variety of functions, including multimedia, games and the proper system-operating function, are added to the systems. Despite the fact that embedded systems are becoming increasingly more powerful, system resources remain limited, and system functionalities are being developed in the form of applications running on the middleware such as virtual machines, or in the form of embedded systems' applications. An example of this is virtual machines (VM's) that are in the form of applications in embedded systems. This paper aims to design and implement a structured platform for MVM's (multi-VM's) that enables the middleware and system applications, such as the VM's to manage the system resources and easily share the common functions amongst them.
