The
EMSIG (EMbedded systems Special Interest Group) has been created as a followup to the ARTIST European Network of Excellence on Embedded System Design, to serve as a focal point for the vibrant community it has fostered.
EMSIG is a recognized body of experts within the larger Embedded Systems research community, that:

leverages on the ArtistDesign NoE results

helps to structure the Embedded Systems Design community

identifies areas of future research and development

interacts on a high level with industry, funding agencies, and other world-class structures (eg ARTEMIS)

supports the advancement of state of the art embedded systems design approaches

facilitates the exchange of ideas and knowledge in embedded systems design

provides visibility and dissemination (eg: web hosting for events), projects

supports the creation of project consortia

spreads knowledge in embedded systems design

supports the application of embedded systems technology
It is managed by a Strategic Management Board, which decides on activities and actions, and the overall goals and policy of the SIG. The interim chair is Prof. Peter Marwedel. Operational management for EMSIG is carried out by a private company called SAXEL (run by Bruno Bouyssounouse).
EMSIG is a part of EDAA (the European Design and Automation Association), the permanent structure that also handles the DATE conference.
