Embedded System Design: Topics, Techniques and Trends

The book "Embedded System Design: Topics, Techniques and Trends" offers a comprehensive analysis of the latest developments in the field of embedded systems. It is based on the technical program of the International Embedded Systems Symposium 2007. In recent years, embedded systems have significantly gained processing power and functionality, leading to the integration of many previously external components into a single system-on-chip. This development has drastically reduced the size and cost of embedded systems. The book covers a variety of topics that are relevant to professionals in industry and academia, providing insights into innovative ideas as well as current research findings. The topics discussed include design methods, specification and modeling, synthesis of embedded software and hardware, and networks on chips. Special attention is given to applications in the automotive and medical engineering fields, supplemented by case studies and specific aspects of embedded system design.
