Abstract
A number of different system concepts have become apparent in the broader context of embedded systems over the past couple of years. First, there is the classic concept of embedded systems as mainly a control system for some physical process (machinery, automobiles, etc.). More recently, the notion of pervasive and ubiquitous computing started to evolve, where objects of everyday use can be endowed with some form of computational capacity, and perhaps with some simple sensing and communication facilities.
