Next generation embedded systems are expected to face several design challenges due to the increasing complexity on both hardware and software side. These complexities are expected to rise to fulfil increasing end user demands and penetration of embedded devices into several application domains with varying demands. For example, timing concerns need to be considered for real-time and safety-critical systems and energy for battery-operated systems. Some application domains may also demand for reliability and/or security. This workshop will cover design principles for embedded systems when deployed in different application domains in order to address the involved challenges. The design principle needs to consider the metrics of importance for a given application domain. Depending upon the metrics to be considered, the designer can employ design-time and/or run-time optimisation principles to achieve the best design. The workshop will also demonstrate practical programming aspects for a modern multi-core based embedded system. Finally, the envisioned future challenges to identify the best design principle will be discussed.
