TITLE: EMBEDDED SYSTEMS
The vast majority of existing computers are not desktop or laptop
machines but are embedded components in numerous system
applications such as automobiles, cell phones and internet
routers. This emerging field which generally requires both
hardware and software now has a landmark text (described below),
a web site (www.embedded.com) and several conferences
(www.esconline.com) dedicated to it. In addition, the technical
program at the annual Design Automation Conference emphasizes the
importance of embedded system design.
"Computers As Components: Principles of Embedded System Design"
by Prof. Wayne Wolf of Princeton University describes the
concepts and techniques of embedded systems using case studies on
the ARM general-purpose microprocessor and the SHARC digital
signal processor. Example applications such as software modems,
telephone answering machines and video accelerators are
presented. The basics of the Unified Modeling Language are given
and real-time operating systems are described. To order the
