Popis: Embedded systems can be regarded today as one of the most lively research and industrial targets. In this field, the ever-increasing demand for computing power and any sort of system resources continuously challenges state-of-the-art design methodologies and development techniques. The largest part of the most complex issues to be addressed during design and development phases can be related to the need to compromise among tight constrains on performance, memory size, code size, power consumption, appliance weight and dimension, possible real-time behaviors, maintainability, scalability, security, time-to-market and, last but not indubitably least, cost. The designer is continuously challenged by requirements modifications that must be timely addressed, operating at different levels of abstraction, e.g. from the proper adjustment of CPU internals to the scheduler structuring in RTOSs, from the optimized exploitation of I/O devices to the employment of specialized compilation techniques. Suitable solutions to emerging problems in this application field can be found via a joint effort by academia and industry.
