Whats an Embedded System?
  • Embedded systems
  • information processing systems embedded into a
    larger product
  • Two types of computing
  • Desktop produced millions/year
  • Embedded billions/year
  • Non-Embedded Systems
  • PCs, servers, and notebooks
  • The future of computing!
  • Automobiles, entertainment, communication,
    aviation, handheld devices, military and medical
    equipments.

3
Embedded Systems
  • Devices other than desktop PCs, servers, and
    notebooks
  • Electricity running through
  • Perform something intelligent
  • Hardware/software which form a component of a
    larger system, but are concealed from user
  • Computers camouflaged as non-computers
  • The future of computing!

Components of Embedded Systems
  • Analog Components
  • Sensors, Actuators, Controllers,
  • Digital Components
  • Processor, Coprocessors
  • Memories
  • Controllers, Buses
  • Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC)
  • Converters A2D, D2A,
  • Software
  • Application Programs
  • Exception Handlers
  • Operating systems, compilers

Research in Embedded Systems
  • Multidisciplinary
  • Most of Systems topic in computer science and
    engineering can be related to embedded systems
  • Major topics
  • Computer Architecture for Embedded Processors
    ARM, AVR, etc.
  • Compilers
  • Operating Systems (example real time)
  • Design Automation (Software tools for HW/SW
    design)
  • Testing, Verification, and Validation
  • Software for Embedded Systems

9
Research Topics in Embedded Systems
  • Power Management
  • Battery life, reliability and thermal issues,
    energy harvesting
  • Coupled with sensor networks
  • HW/SW co-design, very limited information
    processing and computing
  • Energy management
  • Adaptation to Applications and Environment
  • Reconfigurable and adaptive Systems
  • Embedded Software
  • Security in Embedded Systems
  • physical attack
  • Attack through network

CECS at UC Irvine
  • Faculty members from school of engineering and
    school of ICS
  • More than 20 faculty members
  • Broad range of research topics from
    sensor/actuators to compilers and embedded
    software
