Abstract

Acknowledges the potential problems the year 2000 may cause to computer software and hardware, but emphasises the need to understand fully and acknowledge the challenges and threats posed by date sensitive embedded systems. Describes embedded systems and the reasons why they have been generally ignored in the discussions about the year 2000. Discusses the potential disasters and the efforts that need to be made to overcome these problems. Provides examples of problems that have already been considered or encountered.
