Abstract

Introduction to the Special Section on SCOPES ™09 The in ‚uence of embedded systems is constantly growing. Increasingly powerful and versatile devices are developed and put on the market at a fast pace. The number of features is increasing and so are the constraints on the systems concerning size, performance, energy dissipation and timing predictability. Since most systems today use a processor to execute application programs rather than using dedicated hardware, the requirements cannot be ful lled by hardware architects alone: Hardware and software have to work together to meet the tight constraints put on modern devices. One of the key characteristics of embedded software is that it heavily depends on the underlying hardware. To reduce the system design cost, for example, code size, energy consumption etc., embedded software needs to be tailored towards the optimal exploitation of the characteristics of the underlying hardware. This close relation between hardware and the embedded software running on it makes the entire software generation process extremely challenging. The SCOPES (Software and Compilers for Embedded Systems) series of workshops focuses on the software generation process for modern embedded systems.
