Very interesting comparison of IT remediation vs. embedded systems remediation - first time I have seen such a comparison. John 'Embedded systems vs computer systems - remediation Harlan Smith Y2K Technical Advisor Harlan is a retired electronics engineer with some 36 years experience of working on complex military radar systems. He has a systems engineering background and has written several articles on the year 2000 problem including an introduction to the embedded systems problem, an article on tm_year dates and a plan for achieving global compliance called "Synergistic Mitigation and Contingency Preparation" . Harlan began in the US military working on radar systems. He then went on to study for a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington in Seattle. Following graduation, Harlan spent nearly 10 years at General Electric in Syracuse, NY working on developing large radar systems. In 1967 Harlan left GE to work for Texas Instruments. Harlan spent the next 26.5 years working on radar and systems for the US defense. These systems typically contained tens of thousands of processors working together to form complex embedded systems. Since mid-1997 Harlan has concentrated on raising awareness of the year 2000 problem and his paper "Synergistic Mitigation and Contingency Preparation" has been sent to every senator in the U.S. In addition Harlan is a member of Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility (CPSR) and a regular contributor to their y2k site. Harlan is also very active in the comp.software.year-2000 newsgroup posting over 1000 messages. As if that weren't enough, Harlan is also an Associate SYSOP on CompuServe GO YEAR2000 in his spare time (what spare time!) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In an effort to explain how to remediate embedded systems for the year 2000 problem, Harlan Smith has produced this table comparing the remediation process for computer systems and embedded systems. .... y2knews.com
