The Technology

Embedded software is computer software, written to control machines or devices that are not typically thought of as computers. It is typically specialized for the particular hardware that it runs on and has time and memory constraints. This term is sometimes used interchangeably with firmware, although firmware can also be applied to ROM-based code on a computer, on top of which the OS runs, whereas embedded software is typically the only software on the device in question. A precise and stable characteristic feature is that no or not all functions of embedded software are initiated/controlled via a human interface, but through machine-interfaces instead. Manufacturers 'build in' embedded software in the electronics in cars, telephones, modems, robots, appliances, toys, security systems, pacemakers, televisions and set-top boxes, and digital watches, for example. This software can be very simple, such as lighting controls running on an 8-bit microprocessor and a few kilobytes of memory with the suitable level of processing complexity determined with a Probably Approximately Correct Computation framework (a methodology based on Randomized algorithms), or can become very sophisticated in applications such as airplanes, missiles, and process control systems.

Project Highlights

Eterra Systems is developing an Embedded Software System in close collaboration with the New Bulgarian University of Sofia, Master program Embedded and mobile computers, Department Computer Science, NBU.
The project relies on the ZETA Theory, developed by Zdravko Karakehayov, Professor, Ph.D., D.Sc., Department Computer Science, New Bulgarian University.
