Pocket 2000 - Embedded Systems
Embedded systems have distinct and specific problems (see our introduction
to the Year 2000 problem).
This page lists resources specifically related to embedded systems.
- The Institution of Electrical Engineers
(IEE), in the UK, publishes detailed information and guidance on "The
Millennium Problem in Embedded Systems". This resource is continually
updated making it valuable; in addition, there are references to the IEE's
paper publications (3 Nov 97)
- In the US: the Electric Power Research Institute
has separate sites for Y2K
embedded systems work, including the Project
description; and evaluation of EPRI's own software
(3 Nov 97, updated 31 Oct 98)
- The Embedded Software Association references Year 2000 issues on their home page with information, a mailing list and resources (8 May 99)
- Those coming across, or looking for, embedded computers and/or process
control computers in their Year 2000 inventory/audit might find The Online Journal of Computer Controlled Systems a good first-stop to find manufacturers of the original process computers (information from Mike Kusmirak of The Computer Information Centre, 18 Nov 97)
- From Belgium: Le second bug de l'an deux mille ("The second Year 2000 bug") from Y2K Belgium: documentation, and links to both embedded systems and other sources; en français (8 May 99)
