Abstract
Embedded control systems are becoming ubiquitous in control applications. They combine the properties of computer embedded system with newly designed complex controllers where flexible, safe and reconfigurable operations are required. The aim of this paper is to grasp the main features of these systems, analyse the main problems and present some solutions already developed by the authors. A new concept on the control kernel of an application is also introduced and some conclusions are drafted.
