In this second edition, I tried to take a fresh look at the field of embedded computing and the range of techniques we now can apply to the design of high-performance embedded systems. A stunning range of applications now use embedded multiprocessors and complex software stacks: smartphones, airplanes, cars, electric power equipment, and the list goes on. These complex applications require sophisticated hardware, software, and design methodologies.
I updated every chapter; some required more revision than others. I also added a new chapter on cyber-physical systems. CPS has emerged since the publication of the first edition as a synthesis of control theory and embedded computing. While CPS leverages many of the techniques described in the other chapters, a number of new results apply to the design of cyber-physical systems. I tried to both outline those results and to highlight their relationship to results described in the other chapters.
