This summer school was organized by ARTIST2, one of nine projects in embedded systems design founded by the European commission for ICT research. The ARTIST2 objective is to create a European research community on embedded system design. This network of Excellence will build connections between researchers and industry and between different topics in embedded systems. There are three ARTIST Real-time Summer Schools in the world with slightly different contents, one in South America, one in China and one in Europe. Next year, 2010, a summer school is also planned in the U.S. The European summer school always takes place in Autrans near Grenoble in France in September. Below follows short summaries of the given lecturers during the European ARTIST summer school 2009.
