Abstract

Weighs up embedded systems (devices used to control, monitor or assist the operation of equipment, machinery or plant‐embedded, signifying they are an integral part of that equipment), which may use between 20‐100 chips that could be affected by the millennium bug. Demonstrates, using Figures, embedded systems and IT ‐ different effort profiles and vendor response. Looks at implications and consequences if the embedded system problem is not addressed.
