“…Based on such a model adequate OO architectures can be built, e.g. using the TMO approach of UC Irvine [12,13]. This approach seems to be completely different from the techniques of handling time in biological systems.…”

Future Embedded Systems are heading into a degree of complexity which is far beyond today`s level. As most technical artifacts will be interconnected in some sense ("Internet of Things") Embedded Systems of the future cannot be treated as isolated entities any longer. Two major tendencies to cope with this challenge can be observed. The first one takes its inspiration from the technical roots of Embedded Systems. They are looked at from their technical nature but the traditional boundaries of Embedded Systems, especially to consider them as isolated systems are overcome. This approach became well known under the name "Cyber Physical Systems (CPS)". The second approach observes the existence of highly successful and relatively stable systems in form of our biosphere. So it seems to be wise to take inspirations from the achievement of nature. This approach became rather popular under the term "Biologically Inspired Systems" or "Organic Computing" 1. In this paper we will concentrate on the latter attempt to build the highly complex, highly sophisticated Embedded Systems of the future. Inspirations from ant colonies, from the hormone system, and from the immune system will shortly be discussed using specific examples. Some comparisons with the CPS approach will be made as well.

Abstract. The scale and complexity of advanced networked embedded computing (NEC) application systems are steadily growing. The need has become increasingly acute for a programming method and style that imposes much less amounts of detail-handling on the real-time (RT) distributed computing (DC) programmer than the currently widely used method does. With this motivation a number of different attempts have been made toward establishing high-level RT DC objects. The TMO scheme developed over the past 18 years by the author and his collaborators is one of those attempts. In terms of lifting the level of abstractions of main program building-blocks, the TMO scheme has been about the most daring attempt. However, all the attempts have not yet reached the level of sufficient maturity in that the ease of guaranteeing the timeliness of critical output actions with a high degree of precision has not been much demonstrated. Some basic principles and techniques learned from past research on TMO are briefly reviewed. Then major remaining research issues are discussed.
