but not limited to, control, computer science, and electronics. This often involves experts from
differing backgrounds, who do not recognize that they address similar, if not identical, issues from
complementary angles. Design methodologies are lacking in rigor and discipline so that demonstrating
correctness of an embedded design, if at all possible, is a very expensive proposition that
may delay significantly the introduction of a critical product. While the economic importance of
embedded systems is widely acknowledged, academia has not paid enough attention to the education
of a community of high-quality embedded system designers, an obvious difficulty being the
need of interdisciplinarity in a period where specialization has been the target of most education
systems. This paper presents the reflections that took place in the European Network of Excellence
Artist leading us to propose principles and structured contents for building curricula on embedded
software and systems.
