These proceedings from the April 2007 academic symposium include papers on both theory and practice in the traditional core areas as well as in areas of special emphasis, namely real-time and embedded applications and benchmarks; development, verification and debug tools for embedded systems; and embedded system hardware/software interaction and co-design. General topics of the papers also include networking, scheduling, middleware, systems analysis and scheduling, testing and debugging, energy management, building robust systems, distributed real-time systems, and a selection of miscellaneous papers on such topics as making intelligent risk and optimizing decisions based on such factors as available resources and risk tolerance limits, real-time database modeling and performance management, and dynamic patching of embedded software.
