Trends in electronic systems
Abstract:
New forces are reshaping the world economy. The elctronic industry is in the
midst of a major paradigm shift. High-value added products such as computers
are more and more reflecting the dynamics of commodity products.
Intense competition in micro-electronics, computers, telecommunications,
consumer electronics, requires to rethink the role of industry and its
structure to survive. Major trends in product technologies will be presented.
The world markets will be examined briefly and some implications will be drawn.
The electronic systems of tomorrow will be characterized by mixed
hardware-software, mechanical-electrical, analog-digital designs. Major
breakthroughs are required to open new paths for the designers of mixed systems.
The role of programmable components and of software, the issues of integrated
circuit manufacturing and of contract manufacturing will be examined.
