Abstract

The technological advances in processing, communication, storage, actuating

and sensing enables a large amount of applications of embedded systems. The

challenges of today to realize these opportunities are discussed, addressing six

main issues: market dynamics, interoperability, reliability, power, security, and

creativity.

The capabilities of the Embedded Systems Institute are discussed briefly.

Distribution

This article or presentation is written as part of the Gaud project. The Gaud projectphilosophy is to improve by obtaining frequent feedback. Frequent feedback is pursued by anopen creation process. This document is published as intermediate or nearly mature versionto get feedback. Further distribution is allowed as long as the document remains completeand unchanged.
