Scope
Embedded systems are increasingly becoming a key technological component of all kinds of complex technical systems, ranging from telecommunication devices to automobiles, aircraft and even complete production lines.
|
Traditionally, such embedded control systems have been implemented in a monolithic, centralized manner, but distributed solutions have steadily been gaining popularity. In a distributed setup, the control task is carried out by a number of controllers distributed over the entire system and interconnected by a network such as field buses. The individual nodes of such a network usually consist of a processor (microcontroller) together with some sensors and actuators. Demanding local control applications require more powerful controllers based on parallel architectures such as VLIW, or processors with dedicated coprocessors.
Distribution and parallelism in embedded system design increase the engineering challenges and demand new development methods and tools. Also, the increasing relevance of intelligent applications like autonomous systems or edutainment robots calls for new design methods and tools. Due to the growing complexity of all kinds of embedded systems, the development of large systems (software, hardware or hybrid structures) requires new, consistent and integrated design methodologies, from specification to implementation. |

The Final Programme is online!
We are very proud to present an extremely attractive programme that offers more than six hundred presentations.
This very rich programme offers a large variety of opportunities. Attendees will be able to compose their own menu, by mixing on-the-edge research and state-of-the-practice results in their own field of expertise, together with surveys and prospective views in other domains of interest.
The overall schedule of sessions and the social events have been designed to facilitate fruitful interactions between attendees.
Join us during a week and share l'esprit de Toulouse !
