Recent progress of software-related electromagnetic compatibility

Electronic products are now essential to daily lives. Although power-saving are well known for consumers, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) issues are the most critical issues which determine the pass/fail criteria of electronic products coming into the market. Since modern software can control almost any device hardware features and EMC is just one of them, software is capable of controlling it. Thus, software-related EMC for modern digital systems is essential for all electronic products. This paper is a modest attempt to review key developments that mark the history and recent progress in the software-related EMC researches.
