Software architecture has long faced the problem of operating within system boundaries where specific requirements dominate: ...

Different tasks in an embedded system typically must share the same hardware and software resources or may rely on each other in order to function correctly. For these reasons, embedded OSs provide ...

If something is performing the role of an embedded system, then we surely have to say that it is an embedded system, irrespective of its implementation technology If something is performing the role ...

One of the most revolutionary applications of electrical and computer engineering technology is when it is coupled with a physical system, forming a closed loop with sensors, computing elements and ...

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

One of the biggest bottlenecks in the software development process for electronic products is that hardware is not available until late in the cycle. That means embedded software developers need to ...

Every developer wants to develop robust systems. No one wants to point to a product that behaves poorly and say, “I built that.” Many factors come into play when designing and implementing a robust ...

Usable product life is a critical factor in the success of any portable device, and managing power efficiency is a key requirement for embedded systems today. Historically, power management was seen ...

Computing today is not restricted to your desktop computer. Printers, cell phones, and life-support systems are examples of systems that could not operate without reliable software. Building real-time ...

Originally published in the November 1988 Embedded Systems Programming magazine. Correction is the final step of any debugging exercise. Sometimes bug eradication is straightforward; sometimes a bug ...
