Distributed Automotive Embedded Systems

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, and Implementation Examples.
