Small Size, Low Weight - Embedded computers are embedded in something - Form factor may be dictated by aesthetics - Electronics may be squeezed into whatever space is left over - Form factor may be carry-over from previous, less-capable systems - Weight may be critical - Fuel economy for transportation - Comfort for carried objects Design challenges: - Non-rectangular, 3-D geometries - Integrating digital + analog + power on single chip for smaller size/lighter weight
