Fabian Scheler

Fabian Scheler was a researcher at the Department of Computer Science 4 (Distributed Systems and Operating Systems) at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg from 2005 to 2013. His research focused on reliable embedded real-time systems, culminating in his PhD thesis on Atomic Basic Blocks (ABB), which introduced a novel abstraction for manipulating real-time system architectures. He contributed to projects like the Real-Time Systems Compiler (RTSC), Aspect-Oriented Real-Time Architecture (AORTA), and Sloth, an interrupt-driven real-time operating system framework.

Teaching activities included courses such as Real-Time Systems (since 2005), Dependable Real-Time Systems, and Concepts of Operating Systems components. Over 15 master’s and diploma theses were supervised, covering topics like real-time scheduling, compiler optimization, and embedded system reliability.

Key research areas span real-time system design, compiler-driven architecture manipulation, and fault-tolerant embedded systems. Notable contributions include the RTSC framework for migrating event-triggered to time-triggered systems and Sloth’s hardware-based scheduling mechanisms. His work bridges theoretical compiler techniques with practical embedded system implementations.

Contact details remain active at the university, including an office at Martensstr. 1, Erlangen, and email scheler@cs.fau.de. Publications span conferences like RTSS, IEEE SIES, and journals like Software: Practice and Experience, emphasizing real-time system reliability and compiler integration.
