| Industrial products integrate more and more software. This trend is particularly strong in automobile electronic equipment, mobile telecommunication systems, consumer electronics, industrial machines, etc... All these products implement several technologies where software has a growing place | |

Embedded software is in permanent contact with the surrounding world and must react in real-time to external events. It thus requires specific processors and maintains very close relationships to electronics or mechanics. It very strongly influences the end product competitiveness, leading to cost reductions and innovations. |
