Drivers for a KTH based embedded systems centre Advanced embedded systems based products require • A systems engineering approach Methodology and theory is lagging behind
• Synergy among industrial and academic efforts Multidisciplinary and critical size efforts Well established industry-academia cooperation Cross-domain learning and innovative products
• Strong demands for skilled embedded systems engineers • Shortage of larger scale coordinated effort in the Stockholm region • Continuity and longer term efforts!
