Conclusions
This was a very successful meeting - gathering some outstanding figures in the area, including representatives from the European Commission (Tom Clausen) and the NSF (Helen Gill), the Editor in Chief of the ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems Journal (Wayne Wolf) and the Chairman of the ACM of the SIGBED (Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems) Janos Sztipanovits.
There is a strong willingness to collaborate on Education for embedded systems. An international working group has been set up, led by Alberto Sangiovanni and includes Wayne Wolf (Princeton), George Papas (Upenn), Ed Lee (UC Berkeley), Alan Burns (York), Paul Caspi (Verimag), Hans Hansson (Mälardalen). This working group will prepare a call for a Special Issue on Education of the Transactions on Embedded Systems Journal. The guest editor for this special issue is Alan Burns.
