Presents a comprehensive view of embedded systems - their design, verification, networking, and applications. This handbook covers: processors for embedded systems; processor-centric architecture description languages; networked embedded systems in the automotive and industrial automation fields; and, wireless embedded systems.

Comprising 48 chapters and the contributions of 74 leading experts from industry and academia, this handbook presents a comprehensive and exhaustive view of embedded systems: their design, verification, networking, and applications.

The two volumes consist of 48 contributions written by experts from industry and academia from Europe and USA. The presented material is in the form of tutorials, research surveys and technology overviews. All papers include rich bibliography on the presented subject. Many of the contributions are from the industry at the forefront of developments in embedded systems.-Zentralblatt MATH 1186 Zurawski has done a good jobgiven the scope of the topic ESH addresses. The book broadly covers embedded systems and also delves deeply into specific new areas of interest. ?ESH will indisputably be valuable to many different readers. A reader new to embedded systems but grounded in software and computer architecture would have a broad and solid understanding of embedded systems after finishing the book. A seasoned embedded-systems technologist will gain an understanding of new application areas and new ways of addressing old problems more efficiently. ESH is a valuable tool offering something to almost everyone in the field.-Christopher Songer, Stonestreet One
