Overview

The Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems, the first of its kind, provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked control. A carefully organized collection of important results, tools, software, and technology, this work unifies into a single reference many scattered articles, websites, and specification sheets - information that might otherwise be difficult to find. Key topics and features include: Self-contained, sharply-focused articles; Clear structure and presentation of concepts in intuitive order; Separation of material into six main sections? Fundamentals, Hardware, Software, Theory, Networking, and Applications - Case studies, experiments, and examples that provide a multifaceted view of the subject - Information about commercially available tools and hardware - A guide to interrelated topics and ways to link them together in the classroom and laboratory - Comprehensive bibliographies and index This is an indispensable text for anyone interested in knowing more about embedded and networked control systems. Researchers will appreciate the handbooks up-to-date results in the theory of embedded control; developers and users will value its information on special-purpose computer hardware and operating systems modifications that support real-time control; students will find the systematic organization and wide coverage useful for learning and reference.

Reviews

Each of this handbook's 35 chapters is an independent article written by one or more authors. The editors gathered these articles and arranged them in six topical groups. Although the self-contained articles vary somewhat in format, most begin with an overview of their contents, conclude with a summary, and provide an extensive reference list. There is greater variety in content, ranging from theoretical to practical. Several articles feature illustrative case studies. The six article groupings are Fundamentals, Hardware, Software, Theory, Networking, and Applications. As these headings imply, the articles cover a broad spectrum of state-of-the-art embedded control systems, related networking, and tools-of-the-trade topics. Though primarily a resource book intended for control system researchers and practitioners, it can serve as a course resource or supplemental reading for an upper-level undergraduate- or master's-level control systems course. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. -Choice The Handbook provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked control.
