What is an

Embedded System?

(14)

Embedded Systems

Computer systems integrated into a larger device

Hardware + software tailored to a particular purpose

About 99% of all computers are embedded

Applied, but also leads to basic research

Pervasive:

Cell phones, cameras, trains, airplanes, traffic lights,

home appliances, robots, industrial machines, etc.

(15)

Design

Which language

to write embedded software in?

Traditional:

low-level languages,C

Trends:

high-level, declarative, model-based,

component-based languages

C

Simulink

(16)

Reliability

Embedded systems are often complex and safety-critical

→ Millions LOC

→ Mass production: bugs = millions $

→ Failures might be fatal

How to ensure reliability?

Various interesting areas:

Modelling

Software/hardware engineering

Verification

(17)

Timing

Embedded systems are often real-time

→ right actions required at the right time

E.g, brakes of a car have to react within ms

How to ensure that

system never misses deadlines?

Exciting work + research areas:

Real-time scheduling

Execution time analysis

Complex due to multicore + networks

(18)

Embedded Systems ...

have huge industrial importance

in Sweden, Europe, and all the rest

In Sweden: companies like Ericsson, Volvo,

Saab, Skanska, ABB, SKF, ENEA, …

is a large,

well-funded

academic area

spans various fields of basic research

numerous projects in Sweden, Europe,

USA, and ...

→ Good career opportunities on either side
