Stream Outline
Embedded systems comprise over 99% of all computer systems in operation. They are designed for specific purposes ranging from household appliances, such as microwave ovens and set-top boxes, to sophisticated real-time controllers used in fly-by-wire aircraft and the Large Hadron Collider. The study of embedded systems encompasses the design of both software and hardware and considers important economic factors including cost, performance and reliability.
