The mission of the Networked and Embedded System Division (NES) is to provide engineers with scientific methods and tools for designing safety-critical real-time systems. The goal is to advance state-of-art and practice for developing such systems into a mature engineering discipline, i.e., in analogue with the scientifically well founded methods and tools for mechanical construction. NES develops methods for constructing safetycritical real-time systems, ultimately capable of guaranteeing their multitude of requirements to be fulfilled.
Our division is very research and education intensive. The research has an internationally proved record of excellence in conducting high-quality research and a very productive graduate training program. All research is performed in projects with specific goals with respect to achievements, publications, collaborations, and prototype tools. A project typically has elements of both basic and applied research Equally important is the undergraduate education, where EAi s responsible for computer engineering related courses, with a particular focus on computer based real-time systems. We are responsible for the international Master Program in Intelligent Embedded Systems and Bachelor Program in Computer Network Engineering .
