About IESBJ
International Embedded Society By Just_Grassy
Our Mission
IESBJ is a personal open-access academic journal dedicated to advancing knowledge in embedded systems, hardware design, firmware development, and low-level software engineering. Founded by Just_Grassy, IESBJ exists to make technical research freely accessible to everyone — students, hobbyists, professionals, and researchers alike.
We believe that knowledge should not be locked behind paywalls or institutional barriers. Every paper published on IESBJ is available for free, in perpetuity, to anyone in the world.
IESBJ focuses particularly on the intersection of embedded systems with other fields: IoT, real-time operating systems (RTOS), bare-metal programming, FPGA design, hardware security, and the growing world of AI at the edge.
