Embedded Systems

"From operating our cars, to controlling the elevators we ride, to doing our laundry or cooking our dinner, the special computers we call embedded systems are quietly and unobtrusively doing their jobs. Embedded systems give us the ability to put increasingly large amounts of capability into ever-smaller devices. Embedded Systems: A Contemporary Design Tool introduces you to the theoretical hardware and software foundations of these systems and shows you how to apply embedded systems concepts to design practical applications that solve real-world challenges."--Jacket.
