Title: Embedded Systems Handbook Author(s): Richard Zurawski (Editor) Pages: 1160 Publisher: CRC; 1 edition Publication date: 2005 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0849328241 ISBN-13: Description: Embedded systems are nearly ubiquitous, and books on individual topics or components of embedded systems are equally abundant. Unfortunately, for those designers who thirst for knowledge of the big picture of embedded systems there is not a drop to drink. Until now. The Embedded Systems Handbook is an oasis of information, offering a mix of basic and advanced topics, new solutions and technologies arising from the most recent research efforts, and emerging trends to help you stay current in this ever-changing field. With preeminent contributors from leading industrial and academic institutions around the globe, this authoritative handbook presents timely tutorials, surveys, and technological overviews spanning the range of issues and technologies involved in embedded systems. Many of the technology developments, deployments, and trends are made available in this book for the first time. Six sections provide coherence to the presentation, detailing: A broad introduction to embedded systems System- and network-on-chip (SoC/NoC) design Testing of embedded core-based integrated circuits Networked embedded systems Sensor networks, and Automotive, industrial automation, and intelligent sensor applications With concise yet comprehensive coverage of the latest developments, solutions, tools, products, and research results, the Embedded Systems Handbook is ideal for both novices and seasoned engineers looking to enhance and expand embedded systems capabilities.
Review
there is no denying that [the Embedded Systems Handook (ESH)] is a large book; truly, the breadth and depth of the topic requires such a tome to adequately cover it.
ESH has six sections, covering everything from basic theory and background to different types of computation platforms, interconnects, and target application domains.
Each section of ESH lays out both the core principles and fundamental wisdom of the section topic, as well as discussing areas of recent innovation. The book takes you from the accepted and the well-understood to the recent and the novel-providing both a solid grounding in the topic and an understanding of the current state of the art.
Zurawski has done a good job given 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.
