Streamlining object-oriented software for deeply embedded applications

Most of today's computer systems are embedded and a substantial amount of them are deeply embedded systems with very limited resources. Object-oriented software is rarely to be found in those systems. We discuss reasons why object orientation is seldom used in this area. We also propose a set of design and implementation techniques based on modern object-oriented methods, which reconcile the reusability and flexibility of object-oriented software with the required efficiency of deeply embedded systems.
