Abstract
Embedded Study Group has held seven meetings to discuss various topics. In those discussions, the differences between embedded projects and enterprise application system development were examined regularly. There are two major characteristics in embedded projects. One is that the team of software development has to negotiate with mechatronics or electronics team while doing the project. The other is that series products have to be developed in parallel with slight time-lag. Therefore, the management required for embedded projects are complicated. However, since enterprise application system also require several teams to work together in the same time, it is hard to say that embedded projects are totally different. I would like to go back to the origin to discuss the features and problems of embedded projects. By interviewing specialists on embedded projects, the point will be clearer.
