The Working Group 10.5 "Design and Engineering of Electronic Systems" belongs to the IFIP Technical Committee 10. It was established in 1994 by merging the old 10.2 and 10.5 working groups.
The working group aims at providing a forum amongst creative experts to explore problem areas and solutions for the design of such complex electronic systems and also disseminating the solutions to a broader industrial and educational sphere.
Functionality of complex embedded or stand-alone systems, to be applied in areas such as general-purpose computing, telecommunications, automotive, entertainement, and multimedia, may be realized by various combinations of analog and digital hardware and software parts.
Systems can be implemented by single or multiple integrated circuits and software modules that can be either of special purpose, programmable, or reconfigurable.
Electronic system design demands a tight integration on a very large profile of knowledge and skills ranging from hardware and software system architecture to semiconductor physics.
The Working Group is interested in a broad range of topics related to the design and engineering of heterogeneous systems, containing hardware, software, and even mechanical parts.
