Computing
- Recently there has been a blurring of boundaries between Embedded Systems and General-Purpose Systems which will intensify in the future. Computing Systems are evolving, towards increased integration, computing power and connectivity bringing with it the challenges of performance, quality, reliability and security.
- Future Computing Systems will be based on scalable and customisable multiprocessor architectures incorporating heterogeneous, networked, reconfigurable components. New cross-disciplinary techniques, methodologies and paradigms, for both functional and non-functional requirements, will be vital for the design, simulation, abstraction, compilation, programming and run-time support of these architectures.
- Market dynamics are an important element, with crucial differences between the general-purpose computing industry, telecommunications, consumer electronics, media, video-game, automotive and industrial control. Computing Systems have to obey specific, varying and often contradictory market constraints in the dynamically evolving market sectors of today and tomorrow.
- Europe's position in the world is competitive in terms of providing high quality systems. This feature should be retained as one of the key goals of the future, and the focus should be on providing high quality systems with highly valuable features, while satisfying the constraints that competitiveness introduces in terms of costs and productivity.
