Embedded systems have numerous functional and extra-functional properties associated with them.These properties are identified, described and classified in this thesis. The creation of a classificationtaxonomy for the properties of embedded systems assists and helps in concise understanding of thevarious extra-functional properties. Apart from it, this thesis also explains the relationship betweenthose extra-functional properties. The importance and influence of the extra-functional properties onthe embedded system can be understood. The identification of the extra-functional properties isperformed by the implementation of a systematic literature review in which possible database sourcesare searched through to find relevant scientific journals, articles. This search process is performed byquerying the scientific databases with combination of keywords to obtain and identify all the possiblesources of scientific articles. The obtained search results are then extensively analyzed for theconstruction of the classification framework of the properties of embedded systems.
