ESWEEK 2025 Embedded System Software Competition (ESSC)
Research in embedded systems and internet of things (IoT) is generally supported by novel tools and software that are used to simulate, emulate, or validate research artifacts. The tools and software are typically not described in depth as part of research articles but are equally important. These tools and software are of potential value to the embedded systems community. Making tools open source and publishing them as artifacts can enable other researchers to leverage them in their own research. Overall, a strong ecosystem of tools will enrich research for the embedded systems community. To this end, the goal of this competition is to showcase software that have been developed as part of research project. We invite submissions from both academia and industry. Please refer to the call for submissions for more details.
