Introduction Sandeep Shukla and Jean-Pierre Talpin
Embedded Systems are ubiquitous. In applications ranging from avionics, automotive, and industrial process control all the way to the handheld PDAs, cell phones, and bio-medical prosthetic devices, we find embedded computing devices running embedded software systems. Growth in embedded systems is exponential, and there are orders of magnitude more embedded processors and embedded applications today in deployment than other forms of computing. Some of the applications running on such embedded computing platforms are also safetycritical, real-time, and require absolute guarantees of correctness, timeliness, and dependability. Design of such safety-critical applications require utmost care. These applications must be verified for functional correctness; satisfaction of real-time constraints must be ensured; and must be properly endowed with reliability/dependability properties. These requirements pose hard challenges to system designers. A large body of research done over the last few decades exists in the field of designing safety-critical hardware and software systems. A number of standards have evolved, specifications have been published, architecture analysis and design languages have been proposed, techniques for optimal mapping of software components to architectural elements have been studied, modular platform architectures have been standardized, etc. Certification by various authorities and strict requirements for satisfying certification goals have been developed. Today’s avionics, automotive, proce
