Quality Engineering of Embedded Systems

Embedded systems (electronics and software) are of widespread use in safety-critical domains such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial automation and in business-critical domains such as communications and consumer electronics. Stringent quality requirements go together with the demand for low costs and low maintenance needs, but high safety and security levels, high dependability, high reliability and short time-to-market. This symposium will put the emphasis on quality engineering of these systems.
