Distributed Automotive Embedded Systems PT-136

Automotive embedded systems are distributed throughout modern vehicles using multiple vehicle networks partitioned across a variety of different electronic modules. As more complex control systems are used in automobiles, more distributed automotive embedded systems will be needed.

This book contains 88 papers covering the past seven years (2001-2007) of research on the varying aspects of distributed embedded systems. Topics covered include:

Controller Design/Development

Software Design/Development

Communication Networks/Systems

Model-Based Hardware/Software/Network Developments

System Testing/Diagnostics

Implementation Examples

The book also includes editor Ronald K. Jurgen's introduction ("Distributed Embedded Systems: The Key to Future Automotive Electronics") and a concluding section on the trends impacting future distributed automotive embedded systems.
