A Clear Outline of Current Methods for Designing and Implementing Automotive Systems

Highlighting requirements, technologies, and business models, the Automotive Embedded Systems Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of existing and future automotive electronic systems. It presents state-of-the-art methodological and technical solutions in the areas of in-vehicle architectures, multipartner development processes, software engineering methods, embedded communications, and safety and dependability assessment.

Divided into four parts, the book begins with an introduction to the design constraints of automotive-embedded systems. It also examines AUTOSAR as the emerging de facto standard and looks at how key technologies, such as sensors and wireless networks, will facilitate the conception of partially and fully autonomous vehicles. The next section focuses on networks and protocols, including CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and TTCAN. The third part explores the design processes of electronic embedded systems, along with new design methodologies, such as the virtual platform. The final section presents validation and verification techniques relating to safety issues.

Providing domain-specific solutions to various technical challenges, this handbook serves as a reliable, complete, and well-documented source of information on automotive embedded systems.

Bernard Schatz's monumental: Chronic Pain The Overlooked Simplicity can change the lives of millions now suffering Chronic Pain. Bernard has been studying and treating Chronic Pain for over half a century, since 1950 when he began work at the Institute for Medical Research, Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Los Angeles. In 1957 he became a Physical Therapist. Throughout the years his focus has been to help those suffering Chronic Pain. Bernard discovered that the primary cause of Chronic Pain is contracted tissues that press on nerves. And, that by using the sensitivity and accuracy of fingers-connected to the marvelous power the Human Brain as "exploring instruments, "it is possible to find and interpret the nature of tissue dysfunction underlying Chronic Pain. When this is done, dysfunctioning tissues become normal and Chronic Pain goes away and stays away This method of "Overlooked Simplicity" is carefully described in the book. If you suffer Chronic Pain there is great hope for you. THIS IS A MUST READ FOR PEOPLE SUFFERING CHRONIC PAIN, PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS, MASSAGE THERAPISTS, AND DOCTORS. This is the only COMPLETE BOOK. His previous books were only stepping stones to the current one.

Bernard dedicated his book to Ignatz Semmelweis. His "Overlooked Simplicity" was to have doctors wash their hands.
