Embedded System Design: Methodologies and Issues Kindle Edition

Embedded systems and the Internet of Things are current major efforts in industry and will continue to be mainstream commercial activities for the foreseeable future. Embedded Systems Design presents methodologies for designing such systems and discusses major issues, both present and future, that designers must consider in bringing products with embedded processing to the market. It starts from the first step after product proposal (behavioral modelling) and carries through steps for modelling internal operations. The book discusses methods for and issues in designing safe, reliable, and robust embedded systems. It covers the selection of processors and related hardware as well as issues involved in designing the related software. Finally, the book present issues that will occur in systems designed for the Internet of Things.This book is for junior/senior/MS students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering who intend to take jobs in industry designing and implementing embedded systems and Internet of Things applications.- Focuses on the design of embedded systems, starting from product conception through high-level modeling and up to the selection of hardware, software, and network platforms- Discusses the trade-offs of the various techniques presented so that engineers will be able to make the best choices for designs for future products- Contains a section with three chapters on making designs that are reliable, robust, and safe- Includes a discussion of the two main models for the structure of the Internet of Things, as well as the issues engineers will need to take into consideration in designing future IoT applications- Uses the design of a bridge control system as a continuing example across most of the chapters in order to illustrate the differences and trade-offs of the various techniques Read more
