An Embedded system is a special-purpose computer designed to perform
one or a few dedicated tasks, often with real-time computing
constraints. It is usually embedded as part of a complete system
comprising hardware, software and mechanical devices. Embedded
systems are ubiquitous in our daily lives, in the form of many
devices that are in routine use. Wireless devices, home appliances,
office equipment and several other products operate with embedded
software ported on them. Apart from aerospace systems, of late even
automobiles increasingly invoke embedded system design concepts.
Conventional as well as electric and hybrid automobile vehicles use
embedded systems to enhance their performance and efficiency. Many
modern automotive safety features such as anti-lock braking system
(ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Engine Management
System (EMS) use Embedded systems extensively.

Scope:
With the increased use of Embedded systems in wide variety of
commercial applications comprising aerospace, automotive,
mobile/wireless and home automation systems, there is a growing
demand for embedded system designers and developers in various
sectors. Engineers with domain expertise in areas such as embedded
design, analysis, processors, operating systems, porting, device
driver design and deployment using industry standard tools as well
as support are in great demand. Both the knowledge growth and
competence creation in embedded systems demand the use of
specialized hardware/software resources. The comprehensive
specialized skill in the field of Embedded System is still not that
widespread despite its unique and urgent need.

Seminar Focus:
This three day seminar focuses on providing concepts of generic
embedded system design in a comprehensive manner, with an additional
orientation towards automotive applications. In this seminar,
lifecycle of an embedded system is discussed, with special focus on
embedded hardware and software. The emphasis of the seminar is also
towards the use of industry standard tools for the design and
implementation of Real Time Embedded Systems (RTES) in the context
of general purpose as well as automotive applications. Relevant
Operating System (OS) concepts, device drivers and protocols will be
dealt in detail. Processor and microcontroller specifics, along with
the IDE details for editing, compiling, debugging, and target
deployment/downloading will also be discussed with requisite depth.
With considerable attention on the design and implementation
aspects, this seminar is structured to have special relevance to
meet the varied demands of Embedded System Design Engineer,
Managers, Technical Leads and Test Engineers in the Embedded system
domain.

Objectives:
• To impart comprehensive knowledge on Embedded system design
• To provide details of Embedded system development cycle, Embedded
hardware and software, Embedded design concepts, device drivers, and
Embedded operating system concepts
• To facilitate an overview of importance of Embedded system design
in automotive applications
• To discuss a state-of-the-art know-how of Embedded system in
automotives
• To review the special purpose Embedded processors such as ARM,
PowerPC and 68HC12 micro controller
• To emphasize the concepts in system integration and testing,
specific to automotive domain associated with Embedded system
