Embedded System Design: Methodologies and Issues/ Lawrence J. Henschen, Julia C. Lee.

Focuses on the design of embedded systems, starting from product conception through high-level modeling and up to the selection of hardware, software, and network platforms
Discusses the trade-offs of the various techniques presented so that engineers will be able to make the best choices for designs for future products
Contains a section with three chapters on making designs that are reliable, robust, and safe
Includes a discussion of the two main models for the structure of the Internet of Things, as well as the issues engineers will need to take into consideration in designing future IoT applications
Uses the design of a bridge control system as a continuing example across most of the chapters in order to illustrate the differences and trade-offs of the various techniques

Embedded Systems Design: Methodologies and Issues presents methodologies for designing these systems and discusses major issues, both present and future, that designers must consider in bringing products with embedded processing to market. The book starts from the first step after product proposal (behavioral modeling) and goes through the steps for modeling internal operations. Specific areas of focus include methods for designing safe, reliable, and robust embedded systems. Sections cover selection of processors and related hardware as well as issues involved in designing related software. Finally, the book present issues that will occur in systems designed for the Internet of Things. This book is for junior/senior/MS students in computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering who intend to take jobs in industry designing and implementing embedded systems and Internet of Things applications.
