Embedded Computing

Abstract

This chapter provides important background for the rest of the book. It defines the set of topics that are at the center of embedded computing. It looks at methodologies and design goals. It surveys models of computation, which serve as a frame of reference for the characteristics of applications. It also surveys several important applications that rely on embedded computing in order to provide some terminology that can be used throughout the book.
