History of Embedded Systems and Cyber-Physical Systems

The term 'dependability' includes aspects such as Security, Confidentiality, Safety, Reliability, Repairability, and Availability.

Embedded systems refer to information processing systems that are separate from enclosing products.

Designers can focus only on functionality initially and then add dependability later without issues.

Managing time and concurrency is a technical problem in computational systems.

If real-time constraints are not met in cyber-physical systems, it can lead to a significant decrease in system quality.

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are not interconnected or collaborating with each other.

Internet of Things is about devices interacting and cooperating with each other through different addressing schemes.

Hard time constraints refer to situations where not meeting them could lead to a catastrophe.

Almost all engineering disciplines will not be affected by opportunities in transportation and mobility.

Analog parts in hybrid systems utilize discrete signal values in discrete time.

Dependable systems must provide their intended service with a low probability of causing harm.

In the cyberworld, the set of representable values for each number is uncountable.

Embedded systems should use a maximum amount of resources to implement the required functionality.

Software designs can be done independently of the underlying hardware in embedded systems.

Integrated approaches between electrical engineering and computer science are commonly taught at educational institutes.

There is a weak link between big data problems and CPS/IoT systems.

Power is not considered a significant constraint in embedded systems.

Inefficient use of execution time, such as wasted processor cycles, should be encouraged in embedded systems.
