Description:

An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system, which is completely encapsulated by the device it controls. An embedded system has specific requirements and performs pre-defined tasks, unlike a general-purpose personal computer.

Enablers:

  • Invention of transistors
  • Invention of micro processors
  • Mobility
  • Increasing processing power
  • Need for more functionality
  • Software delevopment tools

Inhibitors:

  • The increasing complexity to develop chips

Paradigms:

Experts:

Dr. Ir. Bart Kienhuis, Leiden Embedded Research Center

Timing:
