Preface
Preface and Outline Computing systems are around for a relatively short period; it is only since the invention of the microprocessor systems in the early seventies that processors became affordable by everybody. Although this period is short it is hardly imaginable how current life would be without computing systems. They penetrated virtually all aspects of life. Most visible are PCs, smartphones and gaming consoles. Almost every household has several of them, counting up to billions worldwide. However, we are even more dependent on so-called embedded systems; that are computing systems which are usually not visible, but they largely determine the functionality of the surrounding system or equipment. They control factories, take care of security (using e.g. smart cameras), control your car and its engine (actually your car likely contains tens of embedded systems), calculate your travel route, take care of internet traffic, control your coffee machine, etc.; they make the surrounding system behave more intelligently. As a consequence we are dependent on them. One of the reasons
