TITLE: IEEE Embedded Systems Forum

An on-line forum  for  discussion  of  embedded  systems  is  now
available:

  IEEE Emb. Sys.

An embedded system is one that relies on a  microprocessor  or  a
microcontroller  chip  placed within a product. The computer chip
directs the operation of a system, but it does not have the usual
computer interface to the user. Examples include microwave ovens,
DVD players, televisions, and automobiles. A  typical  car  today
has 30 computers, all in embedded systems.
