The survey questionnaire was developed jointly by CMP Media(Embedded Systems Programming,

EE Times, Embedded Systems Conferences, and Embedded Systems Europe) and Wilson

Research Group. It was programmed for a Web-based survey deployment by Wilson Research

Group. A total of 45,000 nth-name selected subscribers to the sponsoring magazines were used as

the sample. On February 15, 2005, each member of the sample was sent an email invitation.

As of March 15, 2005, respondents returned a total of 1651 surveys. Overall statistical confidencefor 1651 records is 95% +/- 2.5%.

All aspects of the survey were conducted by Wilson Research Group, including all programming anddesign, data cumulation, data cleaning, programming for cross-tabulations, and preparation of the

data tables.
