Janos Sztipanovits 10 TRUST Idea Embedded real-time systems will become ever increasingly important as more systems of system architectures are fielded in the GIG Embedded computing increasingly becoming the primary source of innovation in cars Sensor networks, like VU-s Shooter Location System are a coming wave of new networked embedded systems Computing and networking is increasingly used as universal system integrator (embedded systems and software) This leads to the emergence of a System’s Industry Cybersecurity has become a fundamental systems Issue The core focus of TRUST is Secure System Design
