Roadmaps

A number of roadmaps have been published for Embedded Systems Design, including the Artist FP5 roadmap.

These have varying objectives, scopes, and approaches.

ARTIST FP5 Roadmap on Embedded Systems Design

This extensive and increasing use of embedded systems and their integration in everyday products mark a significant evolution in information science and technology. Nowadays embedded systems design is subject to seamless integration with the physical and electronic environment while meeting requirements like reliability, availability, robustness, power consumption, cost, and deadlines. Thus, embedded systems design raises challenging problems for research, such as security, reliable and mobile services, large-scale heterogeneous distributed systems, adaptation, component-based development, and validation and tool-based certification.

ARTIST2 Roadmap on Control in Real-Time Systems

An important result of the EU ARTIST FP5 project was four roadmaps on Hard Real-Time Development Environments, Component-Based Design and Implementation Platforms, Adaptive Real-Time Systems for Quality of Service Management, and Execution Platforms respectively, [Bouyssounouse and Sifakis, 2005]. The current roadmap written by the partners of the Control for Embedded Systems cluster within the EU/IST FP6 Network of Excellence ARTIST2 can partly be viewed as an extension of the adaptive real-time system roadmap. The focus is how flexibility, adaptivity, performance and robustness can be achieved in a real-time computing or communication system through the use of control theory.

ARTIST2 Roadmap on Real-time Techniques in Control

An important result of the EU ARTIST FP5 project was four roadmaps on Hard Real-Time Development Environments, Component-Based Design and Implementation Platforms, Adaptive Real-Time Systems for Quality of Service Management, and Execution Platforms respectively, [Bouyssounouse and Sifakis, 2005]. The current roadmap written by the partners of the Control for Embedded Systems cluster within the EU/IST FP6 Network of Excellence ARTIST2 is focused on real-time implementation techniques for embedded and networked control systems. A special emphasis is put on the interactions between the control, computing, and communication subsystems, the influences these interactions have on control performance, as well as different ways to handle the interactions.

HiPEAC Roadmap

The HiPEAC roadmap is a research roadmap on high-performance embedded architecture and compilation. In total 55 key challenges organized in 10 themes are listed in this roadmap. The list of challenges can serve as a valuable source of reference for researchers active in the field, it can help companies building their own R&D roadmap, and – although not intended as a tutorial document – it can even serve as an introduction to scientists and professionals interested in learning about high-performance embedded architecture and compilation.

ITEA Technology Roadmap

Released in May 2004, this updated, enlarged report succeeds the 1st edition (published in March 2001), which has been widely recognised as a landmark document in the field of software-intensive systems. The report is intended for both software researchers and policy makers and maps out the future of software-intensive systems in Europe. The many detailed scenarios within the 262-page document sketch a vision of the future in which embedded and networked systems - and related software technologies - play an increasingly important role.
