Excellent web resourses on Embedded Systems

While browsing over the year, I found following very useful resources on Embedded systems. Following is the first list of them, would carry upon this in subsequent future posts. If you also come across any other resources, post it on comments.

1. Artist group, which is EU Network of excellence on Embedded Systems design
Home page: http://www.artist-embedded.org/artist/-Home-Page-.html
Browse through the above link, you would find many journals, articles and can understand the way research in Embedded Systems is moving forward.

Especially I found this collection videos and slides, of their Summer school held at France in 2008 very useful.

2. ACM Transaction on Embedded Systems, special issue on education in this domain
http://portal.acm.org/toc.cfm?id=1086519&idx=J840&type=issue&coll=portal&dl=ACM&part=transaction&WantType=Transactions&title=TECS&CFID=53496696&CFTOKEN=70868022

The papers on education at Berkely or Carnegie Mellon are very informative. It would build your perspective on what kind of skills are necessary and how the education in this area can help.

3. Dedicated Systems Encyclopedia

4. Linden H McClure, Professor at University of Colorado Boulder
http://ecee.colorado.edu/~mcclurel/

Professor home pages are always a great resource for any students, you can find out more about course they are taking, links to slides, published papers etc. Especially I found Prof. Linen's home page very useful, it contains various data sheets, links to course slides and other very useful info related to Embedded Systems.

5. Digital Electronics blog
http://digitalelectronics.blogspot.com/

It is a TECHlog on VLSI, Chip Design, Industry News, Opinions, Reviews & much more...
If you are interested in VLSI or Chip design then you would find many resources on the above blog, check out your self.

Thats all for now, many more ideas to write a post upon, would update soon.
