the vision for Critical Embedded Systems
To meet the needs of designers of Critical Embedded Systems, innovation and interoperability go hand in hand. Technology must continue to advance, but in ways that facilitate systems-of-systems design.
Industry organizations are uniting behind the vision for Critical Embedded Systems, tackling problems at higher levels to ensure specifications developed by one organization work with those provided by others. These activities will make technology easier for the community of users to implement, and aid suppliers in designing and deploying products that can be adopted quickly.
Organizations are already interacting as follows:
technical
- understanding and anticipating needs of the community
- envisioning technology from semiconductors to systems
- exchanging technical information and best practices
- resolving conflicts or contradictions in specifications
- closing gaps in specification coverage
- minimizing overlap in specifications
marketing
- articulating value and benefits realized
- driving adoption of platforms and building blocks
- planning and sponsoring joint media, analyst, and industry events
- highlighting applications and encouraging increased creative development
As with any advancement in technology, the specifics are expected to evolve quickly as momentum builds. Organizations involved earliest will reap the greatest benefits.
