The lines between embedded and enterprise computing are blurring. As embedded
devices become more and more networked, they form a perimeter at the edge of
our enterprise data centers and a rich source of real-time, real-world
information.
These newcomers to the enterprise are coming of age. Embedded computing is
moving beyond the world of hidden computing and a behind-the-scenes role in
military and industrial applications. Embedded applications are no longer
bench projects hacked together by a few elite engineers. Embedded computing
now comprises mainstream applications that are a part of our daily lives and

As the embedded computing industry evolves to support an ever-growing range
of capabilities and features, embedded applications are becoming increasingly
complex. Take, for example, our cell phones. They not only make calls, but
