About embedded systems
Embedded systems are the soul of today's high-tech products. Like the neural system in the human body, embedded systems sense, command and control operations through an integrated complex of hardware components and software code. Without this highly complex embedded technology, even the sharpest lens, most powerful engine or most precise laser beam would be rendered useless.
The universal application of embedded systems technology in all segments of society and industry has created challenging new opportunities. New industrial products, with enhanced functionality and better cost-performance, represent a key element of the competitive position of our high-tech industry. New applications, asking for new embedded system based solutions such as fraud protected passports or better coastal surveillance, provide significant value to society.
