The Netherlands Organisation (TNO) Embedded Systems Institute (ESI) Symposium 2022 marks the 20th anniversary of ESI. The symposium will again feature internationally renowned academic and industrial keynote speakers, a series of presentation tracks, demonstrations, and ample opportunities for discussions and networking. We are aiming for a physical meeting with plenty of online ingredients and opportunities, integrating learnings from our last fully virtual symposium in 2021.

Managing complexity is the recurring promise of ESI. As co-innovation and strategic collaborations across supply chains are becoming more and more important, ESI and their partners see complexity going to the next level. For many companies, the context of their operations is becoming increasingly important. Many aim to leverage innovations of parties in their supply chain and develop platforms to integrate innovative components into their systems. At the same time, the core business of many is shifting from developing and manufacturing systems towards integrating those systems into the business context of their customers.

Therefore, we have chosen this to be the challenging theme for the 2022 ESI Symposium: Integrating Systems.

Themes of the tracks

• Business-driven integration
• Platform-based integration
• Confidence in diversity
• Optimization in context
