Embedded Systems
The world market for embedded software is growing at an annual rate of 15%. The embedded systems market is quite fragmented, with some companies buying software solutions from proprietary providers and others developing their own solutions, which is a time-intensive and costly process. Driven by market convergence in wireless, consumer and triple play data services, embedded systems are experiencing massive growth in complexity and shorter life cycles. The difficulty of designing and verifying silicon embedded systems has risen to the point where true system level design methodologies are mission-critical for the successful delivery of leading-edge products.

Today’s embedded applications require fast real-time performance, compliance with various industry standards, state-of-the art management systems, scalability, high availability and fault tolerance. The system itself needs to be rich in system resources and networking services to achieve these objectives. Also, many users of embedded systems are beginning to experience security headaches that have long plagued the desktop and networked servers. Classic hackers who scanned the Internet looking for open ports or mounted denial-of-service attacks usually weren’t targeting embedded applications. However, that is beginning to change, especially with hand-held wireless terminals, when hooked to a network. Further, business conditions are also putting pressure on OEMs’ to cut costs while still delivering the increasingly complex solutions in a timely manner.
