This collection explores the programmability and reconfigurability of modern full-featured embedded systems and current trends in interfacing methods. The contributors introduce tools that allow embedded system developers to quickly program for their specific embedded system hierarchy and deal with multiple levels of complexity using the C language while exposing the feature-rich functionality of embedded operating systems. Other topics of the 16 papers include VLSI architectures for low power and computation intensive signal processing, robust calibration of automotive engines, variational sensitivity analysis in the physical and material space, and testing network intrusion detection system effectiveness.
