ERCIM WG Dependable software-intensive
(embedded) Systems

• New challenges through new dimensions of system
  attributes
• context awareness (identification, localization,
  interactions
• persons objects)
• Intelligence (digital environment adapts to
  (mobile) objects, persons,
• and interact independently new fascinating
  services)
• natural interaction (human language, gestures,
  speech systems)
• personalization (user centered, dynamic
  adaption, to changing
• situations, user profiles/preferences)
• Dependability (time dynamics, timely
  responsiveness, security,
• safety, availability, .)
• Low Power Management, wireless/mobile, seamless
  communication
• Hard real time applications (automotive,
  aerospace, railways,
• process control, medical devices,
  communications, ) and
• challenges of composability, COTS, (ultra-) high
  confidence
• design and certification, security and
  predictability)
