Track E: Embedded Systems Design

is devoted to the modelling, analysis, design, verification and deployment of embedded software or embedded/cyber-physical systems. Areas of interest include methods, tools, methodologies and development environments for real-time systems, cyber-physical systems, networked systems and dependable systems. Emphasis is, also, on model-based design and verification, embedded software platforms, software compilation and integration for these systems.
