Multiplexing and Networking, Volume 2

The ever increasing electronics content of modern vehicles, and the resulting complexity of controls and systems, has been accompanied by a comparable increasing need for multiplexing and networking. Additional networks have also increased the need for greater conformance testing of those networks and a greater number of gateways among them. This book contains 63 technical papers covering six years of research from 2000-2005 on multiplexing and networking trends and technology. Following an introduction Multiplexing and Networking on the Rise by editor Ronald K. Jurgen, papers are organized in five categories: Multiplexing and Networking Systems, Protocols, Gateways and Middleware, Network/Protocol Testing,and Viewpoints on Future Trends.
