Electrical and computer engineers have developed a new technique for creating less-expensive, low-power embedded systems -- the computing devices found in everything from thermostats to automobiles.

Embedded systems are increasingly prevalent in nearly every aspect of human life. Innovations made possible by embedded systems are making our lives healthier, safer, cleaner, and more stimulating.

Embedded computer systems must be fast and efficient. Researchers have created a new modeling framework that lets designers strike the best balance between static, reconfigurable and analogue hardware ...

Computer engineering encompasses a wide range of topics surrounding this interaction between hardware and software. Computer engineers of the future will be versatile full-stack developers, ...

Dr. Wayne Wolf, world authority in embedded computers and video technology, is 57th Eminent Scholar lured to Georgia ATLANTA, April 18, 2007 — Wayne Wolf, Ph.D., a leading expert in embedded ...

In any system design, there are always trade-offs that need to be made. Unfortunately, there is rarely a time when you can get your cake and eat it, too! Modern embedded systems have exceptionally ...

“Normal” programmers can get away with the assumption that their C programs start executing from the main() function. But embedded developers need to know what happens before that. Lesson 13 explores ...

The embedded systems industry is constantly evolving. In my 20 years in the industry, embedded devices have gone from resource-constrained monolithic designs running on 8-bit microcontrollers to today ...

As computer systems become more and more ubiquitous in everyday items, the workings of those items will require some sort of digital controlling. Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems ...

The “Internet of things” is about connecting products that create, store, and consume data via the Internet. This allows processing to provide results that people ...

Computer engineering is a broad field that sits in between the hardware of electrical engineering and the software of computer science. When computer engineers design hardware, they focus on what the ...

One of the last things the Linux kernel does during system boot is mount the root filesystem. The Linux kernel dictates no filesystem structure, but user space applications expect to find files with ...
