Miniaturization of sensing and processing technologies has resulted in the ability to embed these elements in virtually every engineered system. In 1995, about 3.3B embedded computers were sold, as compared to about 70M traditional microprocessors. ICES has recognized the need to focus on this important and emerging area and has developed a strong research program by drawing upon faculty expertise from Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, and the Software Engineering Institute. In the Embedded and Reliable Information Systems thrust, our vision is to develop systems and technologies which fundamentally improve the effectiveness of embedded computing, real-time systems, and networking technologies, as well as create new paradigms for information delivery, security, and storage. This requires an extremely broad view of systems and an appreciation for the complete life cycle of products and processes.
