The book is designed to give both theoretical and practical insights into embedded systems - computer systems embedded in larger systems, such as microprocessors, microchips and microcontrollers. They play a crucial role in our increasingly digitized world, such as in consumer electronics, medical technologies and industrial manufacturing processes. The authors of "Embedded Systems" reflect this variety of application, coming from both academia and industry. This breadth of expertise ensures that the book provides a thorough grounding in key conceptual problems and in the practical and technical challenges of designing embedded systems. The first section deals with specific applications and problem-solving and the challenges they bring to the engineer. Topics discussed include hardware design issues in relation to security systems and the design of an agent-based system for sensor cloud management. The second section considers theoretical and methodological questions; issues considered include how to design a low-cost embedded controller for complex system controls, programming languages and hardware accelerators. This book will be of practical value to students and software engineers in industrial contexts.
