Intelligent Embedded SystemsAbstract: Embedded systems are a crucial technology for competitiveness. The vision of pervasive computing is that objects, buildings and environments can be equipped with software intelligence to improve human interactions both with individual objects and with the system as a whole. Many intelligent embedded systems move rapidly within a physical environment. While the best complete algorithms are doubly exponential, probabilistic algorithms have emerged that have excellent practical performance and probabilistic guarantees of convergence. The intelligence of embedded systems takes into account autonomous reasoning and acting cooperatively. “Ambient intelligence” refers to an exciting new paradigm in information technology, “in which people are empowered through a digital environment that is aware of their presence and context and is sensitive, adaptive, and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures, and emotions". This applies not only to human-centric tasks, which, of course, seems like the most exciting, science fiction-like aspect, but also to purely technical solutions such as sensors, actuators and intelligent control systems, especially in safety-related applications. Heterogeneity (of environment, applications, protocols, etc.), autonomy (self-awareness, self-healing, self-organization, etc.), nomadic mobility (ad hoc, unreliable, heterogeneous, etc.) and scaleless (number of users, geography, structure, etc.) are the new emerging challenges of embedded systems. Used everywhere from consumer electronics to industrial equipment, embedded systems (small, specialized computer systems stored on a single microprocessor) are playing an important role in market growth. The Internet and the boom in wireless communication channels. Thanks in part to embedded systems, more and more consumer products and industrial equipment are becoming Internet-compatible. For example, DVD players now connect to Internet databases for movie trivia, and Global Positioning System (GPS) mechanisms are often built into automobiles. It's all proof that the Internet and wireless technologies are no longer just for personal computers. Most embedded systems are small enough to fit on the tip of a thumb and are usually hidden inside mobile computers or much larger and more complex electronic devices, so they cannot be used. they often go unnoticed. But embedded systems actually account for the vast majority of semiconductor sales. According to the blue book World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, there are approximately 5 billion embedded microprocessors in use today, which is a whopping 94% share of the global market. (By comparison, unit sales of high-profile PC processors, such as the Intel Pentium and Motorola PowerPC, achieve only 6 percent market share.) Embedded Systems Applications: A Glimpse into the Future Embedded systems can be thought of today as some of the most vibrant research and industrial objectives.
