A textbook that bridges the gap between mechatronics and the development of embedded software. Initially, the fundamentals of embedded systems, covering areas such as system theory, control and regulation, as well as sensor technology and actuators, are clearly outlined for computer scientists. In the second part, modern development methods for embedded software are explained based on this foundation. Computer scientists gain the necessary knowledge required for developing their embedded software. Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and mechatronics specialists benefit from the modern software development methods for embedded systems, which they would otherwise find scattered across various specialized literature.
