National Workshop on Embedded Systems
09th May to 11th May 2005 - A
Report
The
first session on DAY – 3 commenced with a speech on
“Developing Quality/Healthy Systems with XP Practices” by Uppili
Srinivasan of HCL Technologies, Chennai. This session had a theme on
System design Bharath Electronics limited,
Bangalore
for Industries. This was followed by a seminar by Sri N.R.Ramesh from
on “Embedded System for an EVM”. After a tea break,
Mr.R.Krishnamurthy from Pricol Limited
, Coimbatore delivered a lecture on “Selection Criteria for
Microcontrollers and adaptation to Automotive Controllers”.
Through
video conferencing, the experts from
Bosch, Bangalore interacted with the attendees on “Embedded
systems design for automotive industry”. An interesting and useful
questionnaire was also conducted.
Next
was a PANEL DISCUSSION with Dr.K.S.Chari as PANEL Chair. The
other members of the panel were Dr L R Rajagopal, Sand
Instrumentation, , Mr. N.R.Ramesh , Bharath Electronics Limited ,
Bangalore
and Prof.K.Usha Devi , TIFAC CORE The Panel Discussion highlighted on
the “Futures of Embedded Systems” . The Panel interacted with the
audience delegates and many essential and useful details in view of
academic and industrial aspects were discussed . Panel recommended
that the industry
and Academic institutions
should constantly interact for a useful
output and revise
the curriculum with timely
input from industries for making the graduates readily employable.
Embedded systems market is growing so fast and there are 80
billion US Dollar market for embedded systems projected for year 2007
in place of previous projection of
40 million for 2004. This
will fetch for
embedded system designers, chip designers, software developers for the
future embedded devices. And
students have to master in one and
understand coexistence
and the interdisciplinary
nature of Embedded system
design where all Engineering
disciplines merge.
Panel
stressed on the importance of students coming up with
entrepreneurship ideas in the
development application for the rural, agricultural,
entertainment and
many others and
encouraged them to bring
out their designs into prototype models and see it work
as system design is very important. In embedded systems.
Panel discussion went lot interactive with
questions pouring from students in all corners in the hall.
