Beschreibung
Embedded systems can be defined as information processing systems embedded into enclosing products such as cars, telecommunication or fabrication equipment. Such systems come with a large number of common characteristics, including real-time constraints, and dependability as well as efficiency requirements. Following the success of information technology (IT) for office and workflow applications, embedded systems are considered to be the most important application area of IT during the coming years. This importance of embedded systems is so far not well reflected in many of the current curricula.
Embedded System Design is intended as an aid for changing this situation. It provides the material for a first course on embedded systems, but can also be used by PhD students and professors. A key goal of this book is to provide an overview of embedded system design and to relate the most important topics in embedded system design to each other. It should help to motivate students as well as professors to put more emphasis on education in embedded systems. In order to facilitate teaching from this book, slides, exercises and other related material can be downloaded via the author's web page.
Provides a unifying survey of the key issues in embedded system design, with a focus on embedded system software design
Provides the foundation for advanced studies in various areas of embedded system design
Supplies the first real textbook to motivate universities to introduce a first course on embedded systems.
Embedded System Design starts with an introduction into the area and a survey of specification languages for embedded systems. In the future, most information processing systems will be embedded into larger products such as transportation and fabrication equipment. Embedded systems share a number of common characteristics: they must be dependable, efficient, and meet real-time constraints. A brief overview is provided of hardware devices used for embedded systems and also presents the essentials of software design for embedded systems. Real-time operating systems and real-time scheduling are covered briefly. Techniques for implementing embedded systems are also discussed, using hardware/software codesign. The book closes with a survey on validation techniques.
