Embedded systems in industrial applications - Challenges and trends

Summary form only given. This presentation attempts to characterize requirements imposed on embedded systems by industrial applications, as opposed to typical applications in stand alone appliances or multimedia. Networking of embedded systems around wireline and wireless solutions is explored, with a focus on realtime and sensor/actuator networks including wireless ones. Platform Based Design paradigm which offers a prospect for a rapid design and implementation of application domain dependent solutions is overviewed in the context of industrial applications.
