The 24th Euromicro DSD (Digital System Design) Conference took place on 1-3 September 2021, virtually. Inspired by the emerging microprocessor technology, the event aimed at promoting research and technology transfer, as well as discussing and disseminating knowledge, information and skills in academia, industry, government and in education. The conference addressed all aspects of (embedded, pervasive and high-performance) digital and mixed HW/SW system engineering, covering the whole design trajectory from specification down to micro-architectures, digital circuits and VLSI implementations. Our partners from AVL and TUG have demonstrated their recent achievement in this conference by presenting the work titled “Measuring trust in automated driving using a multi-level approach to human factors”.
