Image processing systems found in medical imaging equipment.1) Examples of embedded Software Application-based features This software can be very simple, such as lighting controls running on an 8-bit microcontroller with a few kilobytes of memory with the suitable level of processing complexity determined with a probably approximately correct computation framework (a methodology based on randomized algorithms), or can become very sophisticated in applications such as airplanes, missiles and process control systems. Manufacturers build embedded software into the electronics of telephones, cars, modems, robots’ applications, home appliances, toys, security systems, pacemakers, televisions and digital watches, only to name a few. The systems are also required to provide consistent response times and to be highly efficient. Those systems are designed to be reliable and run stable. They execute the same pre-defined task throughout their entire life, which cannot be altered. All embedded systems are task specific systems. Integrating software engineering with non-computer devices leads to the formation of embedded software systems. Embedded software is specialized for the particular hardware that it runs on and has memory and time constraints.Ī common characteristic feature is, that either no or not all functions of embedded software are initiated or controlled by humans, but rather through machine interfaces. It is a crucial part of a functional software ecosystem. You encounter embedded software nowadays almost everywhere.
