The Embedded Software Systems (ESS) working group is located at the Institute of Computer Science at Osnabrück University and is headed by Prof. Dr.-Ing Olaf Spinczyk. It is an endowed professorship of the companies CLAAS and HARTING.
The working group is concerned with design methods for embedded software systems - in particular with reusable infrastructure software such as embedded operating systems. The special boundary conditions of embedded systems such as the scarcity of memory and energy as well as the reliability and compliance with real-time requirements are the focus of interest.
