Event-based systems are a class of reactive systems, characterized by efficient utilization of communication, computation and energy resources, deployed in a wide spectrum of engineering disciplines including control, communication, signal processing, and electronic instrumentation. This book contains 23 chapters contributed by more than 60 leading researchers from around the world. It provides an up-to-date picture of the developments in event-based control and signal processing, with a focus on networked sensor and control systems.

Embedded Software Development: The Open-Source Approach delivers a practical introduction to embedded software development, with a focus on open-source components. This programmer-centric book is written in a way that enables even novice practitioners to grasp the development process as a whole. Incorporating real code fragments and explicit, real-world open-source operating system references (in particular, FreeRTOS) throughout, the text: Defines the role and purpose of embedded systems, describing their internal structure and interfacing with software development tools Examines the inner workings of the GNU compiler collection (GCC)-based software development system or, in other words, toolchain Presents software execution models that can be adopted profitably to model and express concurrency Addresses the basic nomenclature, models, and concepts related to task-based scheduling algorithms Shows how an open-source protocol stack can be integrated in an embedded system and interfaced with other software components Analyzes the main components of the FreeRTOS Application Programming Interface (API), detailing the implementation of key operating system concepts Discusses advanced topics such as formal verification, model checking, runtime checks, memory corruption, security, and dependability Embedded Software Development: The Open-Source Approach capitalizes on the authors'' extensive research on real-time operating systems and communications used in embedded applications, often carried out in strict cooperation with industry. Thus, the book serves as a springboard for further research.

Bridging the gaps between the disciplines of model-based design, real-time analysis and model-driven development, this book demonstrates techniques for modeling, verifying and validating the behavior and performance of complex distributed embedded systems.

This book describes model-based development of adaptive embedded systems, which enable improved functionality using the same resources. The authors demonstrate the real impact of adaptivity on engineering of embedded systems by providing several industrial examples of the models used in the development of adaptive embedded systems.

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to embedded systems for smart appliances and energy management, bringing together for the first time a multidisciplinary blend of topics from embedded systems, information technology and power engineering.

This book gives readers a hands-on, working knowledge of real-time operating systems and how they can be applied in the embedded system domain. The authors assess various case studies, using them as running examples to reinforce introduction of theoretical material. They also discuss increasingly popular open-source operating systems. Helpful for average system designers that have no significant previous experience with real-time operating systems, this book¿s content will help readers understand the benefits and weaknesses of each. With this knowledge, they can decide whether or not to adopt it for a project, or rely on more traditional, but less powerful, techniques.

This book covers the current communication architectures that are implemented in manufactured systems-on-chip, as well as those that are being proposed to overcome the existing limitations. The text addresses well-established communication buses and less-common networks on chip, along with modern technologies that propose the use of carbon nano tubes and optical links to speed up data transfer and increase both security levels and quality of service. Contributors address on-chip transaction security involving critical information and the mechanisms to protect from an external attack, examining different communication protocols and their impact on system performance.

Despite the importance of evolvability for these types of systems, the field has received scant attention from the scientific and engineering communities.Views on Evolvability of Embedded Systems focuses on the topic of evolvability of embedded systems from an applied scientific perspective.

This book presents a new set of embedded system design techniques called multidimensional data flow, which combine the various benefits offered by existing methodologies such as block-based system design, high-level simulation, system analysis and polyhedral optimization.
