Processes, Methods and Tools for Engineering Embedded Systems

Abstract. The processes, methods, and tools for engineering embedded systems (PROMOTE) workshop focuses on research topics on the intersection of soft-ware engineering and embedded systems. Nowadays embedded software plays an increasingly important role in embedded systems development, and urges for intense maintenance activities. Therefore, the embedded systems community is expected to benefit from sharing knowledge with the software engineering community, in the sense of applying accumulated experience in handling maintenance effort. However, successful software engineering processes, meth-ods or tools are not usually found in the ES industry, whereas, others might not be even directly applicable, and require tailoring. PROMOTE attempts to bring together practitioners and researchers from both communities, to discuss pro-gress on embedded software processes, methods and tools; to gather empirical evidence on their use; and to identify priorities for a research agenda.
