Embedded software systems,which engage the physical world. Time, concurrency, liveness, robustness, continuums, reactivity, and resource management must be remarried to computation.
Embedded software is used to control electronic products not normally identified as computers. Embedded software usually executes on an internal micro-controller or a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) used to control other product components. Typically, such software must be extremely reliable, very efficient and compact, and precise in its handling of the rapid and unpredictable timing of inputs and outputs. Products that contain embedded software include cellular telephone handsets & base-stations, portable MP3 players, television set-top boxes, data network switching equipment, automobiles, modems and hard disk drives, high efficiency electric motors, and digital cameras.
