Special Interest Group in Embedded Systems (SIGES)
Embedded systems are customized computing systems hidden inside everyday electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, automobiles, etc. Designing embedded systems is unique in the sense that the traditional borderline between hardware and software vanishes here. Moreover, tight constraints on size, cost, power, timing, and time-to-market pose significant challenges to embedded system development. Embedded systems has become an active research area over the last decade focusing on increasing the automation in the design process. Research in embedded systems is exciting as it cuts across traditional research areas in computer science such as computer architecture, compiler, operating system, network, and software engineering. Please visit the homepage of Embedded Systems Research Group for more information about ES research in School of Computing.
The activities of SIGES for the second year students will be centered around reading from textbooks and research papers. Third and fourth year students will be excepted to explore research problems and/or participate in design contests.
SIGES is not restricted to the students in the computer engineering program.
