Abstract: The rapid adoption of microcontrollers and software-based control comes with many advantages such as more efficient power and transportation systems. It also brings with it many risks, for example, the difficulty of demonstrating that software or firmware is correct, safe, and secure and the added susceptibility to unforeseen accidents or malicious attacks. In this presentation, I will introduce details on these risks and some of the related issues and approaches that I believe all engineers and computer scientists should consider when designing, developing, maintaining, and configuring complex digital control systems, which are today essential to our well-being.
