SIGBED, Special Interest Group on Embedded Systems

Mission

SIGBED is intended to be a focal point within ACM for all aspects of embedded computing systems, including

both software and hardware. Embedded systems has come to be recognized as a key discipline, which includes new

computer and systems science foundations, new design technology, and new hardware and software frameworks.
