Embedded systems - the invisible electronics and software that bring intelligence to devices, objects and processes – are a driver of innovation and growth in many key sectors of European industry (e.g. automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, telecommunications and automation). The research activities of Unit G3 (Embedded Systems and Control) can be classified in three main technical domains: Embedded Systems Design, Computing Systems and Networked Embedded Systems and Control.
Embedded Systems Design (ESD)refers to methods and toolsfor increasing the productivity of system development while ensuring that systems are predictable, dependable and secure. The ESD projects are focused on real-time aspects and model-based design of hardware/software system.
