Title:

Embedded Systems Canada: Printed and Programmable Microsystems;
We Are Giving It A Try

Abstract:

Programmability is a key element of the Embedded Systems Canada project, a Canada-wide initiative involving platform-based microsystems design and prototyping environments to enable, stimulate, and extend nation-wide university research leading to rapid commercialization, publication, and training of highly qualified personnel within a national and international multi-disciplinary research environment. The brief presentation will provide an overview of the project including some of the research enabled. These involve programmable microelectronics, hardware/software microsystem validation platforms, and rapid prototyping via techniques such as printed electronics.
