The 8th International Embedded Systems Symposium

Sponsored by IFIP WG 10.2

Over recent years, embedded systems have gained an enormous amount of processing power and functionality.

Computing-intensive tasks (e.g., Artificial Intelligence, deep learning, and forecasting/prediction algorithms) are being increasingly embedded into these systems as the amount of processing and storage resources increases.

Many of the formerly external components can now be integrated into a single System-on-Chip.

This tendency has resulted in a dramatic reduction in the size and cost of embedded systems.

As a unique technology, the design of embedded systems is an essential element of many innovations in modern society.

Embedded systems meet their performance goals, including real-time constraints, through a combination of special-purpose hardware and software components tailored to the system requirements and its expected services.

Both the development of new features and the reuse of existing intellectual property components are essential to keeping up with ever-demanding customer requirements and needs.

Furthermore, design complexities are steadily growing with an increasing number of components that have to cooperate properly and timely.

Embedded system designers have to cope with multiple goals and constraints simultaneously, including timing, power, reliability, dependability, maintenance, packaging, and, last but not least, price.

The significance of these constraints varies depending on the application area a system is targeted for. Typical embedded applications include multimedia, automotive, aerospace, medical and communication devices, robotics, and many others.

The goals of the International Embedded Systems Symposium are to present, exchange and discuss the state of the art, novel ideas, actual research results, and future trends in the field of embedded systems.

Contributors and participants from both industry and academia are encouraged to take an active part in this symposium.
