Embedded Systems Model-Based Testing for Embedded Systems Edited by

Justyna Zander, Ina Schieferdecker, and Pieter J. Mosterman This book explores model-based testing from a number of different perspectives. Combining various aspects of embedded systems and software—and how they are applied—it covers the theory and practice concerning the test specification and validation of complex software-intensive embedded systems.

Model-based testing refers to software testing in which test cases are either wholly or partially derived from a model, illustrating selected aspects of a system under test. Detailed examples from industry provide solutions that are applicable in real-world testing practices. The text provides a better understanding of system and software quality problems as well as the entire test process.

Semiconductors Integrated Circuit Design for Manufacturability Artur Balasinski Cypress Semiconductor, San Diego, California, USA

This book covers the gradual evolution of integrated circuit design (ICD) as a basis to propose strategies for improving ROI for ICD in manufacturing. It explores the concept of ICD for production by breaking down its major steps: product definition, design, layout, and manufacturing.

The author shows that design for manufacturability (DfM) is a powerful generic engineering concept with potential extending beyond its usual application in automated layout enhancements centered on proximity correction and pattern density. He simplifies existing approaches to DfM, outlining a clear set of criteria to help readers assess reliability, functionality, and yield. With careful consideration of the economic and technical trade-offs involved in ICD for manufacturing, the book addresses techniques for physical, electrical, and logical design. It keeps coverage fresh and concise for the designers, manufacturers, and researchers defining product architecture and research programs.

Drawing on more than 60 years of combined experience in successfully documenting complex engineering projects, the authors discuss documentation strategies, ideas for managing complex processes and improving competitiveness, considerations for disaster planning, and how standardization can help reduce costs.

• Discusses the importance of documentation and process development in large and small organizations • Offers guidelines for streamlined process development • Includes suggestions to help you develop documentation that meets your specific needs • Outlines the importance of clear, complete technical documentation • Supplies helpful tips to manage remote meetings and other communications

Auburn University, Alabama, USA

This simple and easy-to-use yet sufficiently rigorous resource provides an overview of electrical engineering for those whose specialization lies in areas other than electrical. It explores the fundamentals and includes many examples and homework problems.

In many cases, courses for non-electrical engineers have watered-down classical electrical engineering material, resulting in unpopular courses. To remedy this situation—and create more well-rounded practitioners—the authors focus on the true needs of nonelectrical engineers. Drawing on their own teaching experience as well as significant input from non-electrical engineering faculty, the authors provide several important contemporary, interdisciplinary examples to support this approach. The result is a full-color, modern narrative that bridges various electrical engineering and non-electrical engineering curricula and serves as a truly relevant course that students and faculty can both enjoy.

• Offers a concise explanation of the fundamentals of electrical engineering • Integrates coverage of practical applications and theoretical fundamentals • Maintains mathematical and scientific rigor useful in real-world applications

Technical Writing

PSPICE and MATLAB® for Electronics

A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists

An Integrated Approach, Second Edition

Phillip A. Laplante

John Okyere Attia

The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA

Prairie View A&M University, Texas, USA

This guide enables you to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Complementing the traditional writer’s reference manuals and other books on technical writing, it helps you understand the practical considerations in writing technical content. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated as well as various challenges and solutions.

Exploring the strong features of PSPICE and the powerful functions of MATLAB® for electronic circuit analysis, this second edition continues to provide an introduction to PSPICE and a simple, hands-on overview of MATLAB. It also demonstrates the combined power of PSPICE and MATLAB for solving electronics problems. This edition includes updated MATLAB topics, schematic capture and text-based PSPICE netlists in several chapters, and a new chapter on PSPICE simulation using the ORCAD schematic capture program.

Contracts for Engineers Intellectual Property, Standards, and Ethics Robert D. Hunter Robert D. Hunter Associates, Austin, Texas, USA

This book enhances your ability to communicate contractual issues to lawyers and then better understand the consequent legal advice you receive. It introduces the related subjects of intellectual property (including patents, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets) and standards (including conformity assessment and accreditation). The author also addresses the role of ethics at the micro and macro levels, which were emphasized in response to the collapse of Boston’s Big Dig, the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, and other accidents.

What Every Engineer Should Know about MATLAB® and Simulink® Adrian B. Biran Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa

Using examples from mathematics, mechanical and electrical engineering, and control and signal processing, this book examines the advantages and limitations of both MATLAB® and Simulink®. The author demonstrates how to visualize the results of calculations in various kinds of graphical representations, how to write useful script files and functions for solving specific problems, how to avoid disastrous computational errors, and how to insert calculations and graphs into technical reports produced by either MS Word or LaTeX. Companion software with functions and script files is available online.
