An article in Military Embedded Systems magazine discusses the evolution of embedded systems as influenced by the Internet of Things (IoT): Embedded systems, meet the Internet of Things.
The article notes: “In many ways, embedded systems are the progenitor of the Internet of Things (IoT) – and now IoT is changing key aspects of how we design and build military embedded systems. In fact, the new model for embedded systems within IoT might best be described as design, build, maintain, update, extend, and evolve.”
