Paper Presentation on Embedded Systems

Computers have evolved from few, huge mainframes shared by many people, and mini computers that were smaller but still shared to today’s PCs—millions in number, miniscule in size compared to the mainframes, and used by only one person at a time. The next generation could be invisible, with billions being around and each of us using more than one at a time. Welcome to the world of embedded systems, of computers that will not look like computers and won’t function like anything we’re familiar with.
