Embedded systems span a number of scienti?c and engineering disciplines, which evolve continuously. So does the ?eld of embedded systems. To write on this topic requires a careful choice of the material to be covered, to make a presentation of a reasonable length, and provide a fairly up-to-date material. This chapter focuses on two main areas of embedded systems, which have evolved only in recent years, namely, systems on a chip and networked embedded systems. The section on System-on-Chip surveys a large number of the issues involved in its design. The section on networked embedded systems presents an overview of trends for networking of embedded systems, their design, and their application for in-car controls and automation. This material is preceded by a round up of embedded systems in general, and design trends.
