Abstract

We introduce a textbook that strives to identify and introduce the durable intellectual ideas of embedded systems as a technology and as a subject of study. The emphasis is on modeling, design, and analysis of cyber-physical systems, which integrate computing, networking, and physical processes. The book is intended for students at the advanced undergraduate level or the introductory graduate level, and for practicing engineers and computer scientists who wish to understand the engineering principles of embedded systems. It is also an experiment in publishing. The book is available free in electronic form, in the form of PDF file designed specifically for on-line reading. Specifically, the layout is optimized for medium-sized screens, particularly the iPad and forthcoming tablets. Extensive use of hyperlinks and color enhance the online reading experience. A print version will be available through a print-on-demand service, enabling rapid evolution and immediate correction of errors. See http://LeeSeshia.org.
