ABSTRACT
There is a special subset of the total set of electronic data processors that is growing in importance, especially to the Air Force. This class of computers possesses several unique features that cause software development to be very expensive with relation to the number of lines of code required to make them run. This paper describes some of these unique features and illustrates how they tend to drive software costs upwrard. Potential solutions to the high cost of software problem in this area are offered which, as the reader will find, are tentative at best since we have only recently begun to investigate in depth the intricacies of what we call "embedded computers."

Embedded Software Engineering: The State of the Practice
The embedded-software market has grown swiftly in the last decade and will continue to do so in coming years. Embedded software's specific properties, such as hardware dependencies, make its development different from nonembedded software. So, you might ...
Economic production quantity with rework process at a single-stage manufacturing system with planned backorders
In traditional inventory models such as the economic order quantity (EOQ) and the economic production quantity (EPQ) the sole objective is to minimize the total inventory-related costs, typically holding cost and ordering cost. These models do not ...
An Inventory Model Embedded in Designing a Supply Contract
To reduce lead-time and its variability, modern supply and transportation contracts often specify the frequency of, and volume available for, future deliveries in advance even when final demand is somewhat uncertain Yano and Gerchak [Yano, C. A., Y. ...
