Subcommittee Chair: Ian
G. Harris, University of California Irvine
The purpose of this subcommittee is to promote the study of Embedded
Systems. Our focus is on the exploration of design, validation, and
testing techniques which address the unique challenges related to
embedded systems.
The importance of research in this area stems from the increasing
ubiquity of computing systems in our environment. The tremendous
functionality benfits gained through the use of embedded systems have
led to the integration of embedded systems into a multitude of devices
which are common in our everyday lives. The proliferation of embedded
systems brings with it a set of new challenges including low cost
design, low power consumption, and high reliability requirements. It
is research addressing these challenges which this group supports.
We support research through a variety of means which include the
following mechanisms:
- Sponsoring events at conferences and workshops
- Sponsoring activities published in related journals
- Maintaining relevent background information at this web site
- Developing an annotated bibliography which provides pointers to
detailed information on the topic
If you wish to be involved in these activities, please send email to
the chair Ian G. Harris
