The book "Embedded Systems Development" offers a comprehensive examination of the techniques for modeling, verifying, and validating the behavior and performance of complex distributed embedded systems. The authors, including renowned experts in the field, aim to bridge the gap between the disciplines of model-based design, real-time analysis, and model-driven development. This enables a better understanding of the methods by which new development processes can be constructed, starting from system-wide modeling to the correct and predictable generation of a distributed implementation. The book draws on current and future research findings, making it a valuable resource for professionals and students engaged in embedded systems development.
