Strategies for Embedded Computing Research

International policy conference
Vienna, March 18th and 19th 2010

The enormous success of embedded computing has stimulated new research policies and programmes in this thriving area of information technology world-wide. The economic significance of embedded systems is as undoubted as the scientific challenges ahead of us.

But where exactly is the field going? What are the major challenges that improved policies need to address? What are the trends in recent programmes and what are current opportunities not to be missed by Embedded Computing Research? These are the topics of the conference on “Strategies for Networked Embedded Computing Research”.

The purpose of this conference is to better understand current directions in the field of embedded systems research at a policy level. The conference brings together researchers with strategic decision makers in Embedded Computing, policy makers and RTD managers.

Existing and planned national initiatives are of particular interest for strategic decision making in the field. These initiatives need to be put in a global context and discussed in relation to other European developments. This conference should mark the starting point for an improved mutual understanding and co-operation of national ES research initiatives.
