Opportunity in embedded systems field "Following the success of IT for office and workflow applications, embedded systems are considered to be the most important applications area of information technology during the coming years. Due to this expectation, the term post-PC era was coined. The number of processors in embedded systems already exceeds the number of processors in PCs, and this trend is expected to continue. But this importance of embedded systems is so far not well reflected in many of the current curricula" Embedded System Design - by Professor Peter Marwedel, September 2003 Actually, this situation is confirmed by the world-wide increasing request of specialists in embedded systems field, from different industrial areas, such as automotive and aircraft electronics; trains, telecommunication; medical systems; military applications; authentication systems; consumer electronics; fabrication equipment; smart buildings (reducing energy consumption, improving safety and security); robotics.
