Abstract

Embedded systems are typically reactive systems that are in continuous interaction with their physical environment to which they are connected through sensors and actuators. Examples are applications in multimedia processing, automatic control, automotive and avionics, and industrial automation. This has as result that many embedded systems must meet real-time constraints, i. e. they must react to stimuli within a time interval dictated by the environment.
