programming A term used by
COCOMO to describe a project
development that is characterised by tight, inflexible
constraints and interface requirements. The product must
operate within (is embedded in) a strongly coupled complex of
hardware, software, regulations and operational procedures.
An embedded mode project will require a great deal of
timing constraints and customised hardware.
