From the reviews: "The book under review provides a wide overview of issues related to the design of embedded systems, i.e., units usually embedded inside a larger system. ... The aspects addressed in this book are up-to-date due to their recent utilization in many areas including, e.g., communications, electronics, or biomedicine. ... This book is undoubtedly dedicated to practitioners willing to include formal models of computation into the process of embedded systems design -- the issue being especially important in large scale or critical systems."
