Zurawski R. (Ed.). Embedded Systems Handbook: Networked Embedded Systems

Second Edition. — CRC Press, 2009. — 838 p. — ISBN10: 1-4398-0755-8, ISBN13: 978-1439807613.Application domains have had a considerable impact on the evolution of embedded systems in terms of required methodologies and supporting tools, and resulting technologies. Multimedia and network applications, the most frequently reported implementation case studies at scientific conferences on embedded systems, have had a profound influence on the evolution of embedded systems with the trend now toward multiprocessor systems-on-chip (MPSoCs), which combine the advantages of parallel processing with the high integration levels of systems-on-chip (SoCs). Many SoCs today incorporate tens of interconnected processors; as projected in the edition of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors, the number of processor cores on a chip will reach over by .The design of MPSoCs invariably involves integration of heterogeneous hardware and software IP components, an activity which still lacks a clear theoretical underpinning, and is a focus of many academic and industry projects.This books aims at presenting a snapshot of the state-of-the-art embedded systems with an emphasis on their networking and applications. It consists of contributions written by leading experts from industry and academia directly involved in the creation and evolution of the ideas and technologies discussed here. Many of the contributions are from the industry and industrial research establishments at the forefront of developments in embedded systems.The presented material is in the form of tutorials, research surveys, and technology overviews. The contributions are divided into parts for cohesive and comprehensive presentation.The reports on recent technology developments, deployments, and trends frequently cover material released to the profession for the very first time.Network Embedded Systems: An Introduction.
