Embedded Computing Systems

• Closed systems

  • execution indeterminacy confined to one source
  • causal relations are easily established.

• Open systems

  • indeterminacy from multiple sources, not controllable or observable by the programmer
  • not possible to infer causal relations.

Physical

Processes

REACTIVE

Transformational

• constraints are an important part of system functionality in
  building embedded computing systems.
