This book offers a new, theoretical approach to information dynamics, i.e., information processing in complex dynamical systems. The presentation establishes a consistent theoretical framework for the problem of discovering knowledge behind empirical, dynamical data and addresses applications in information processing and coding in dynamical systems. This will be an essential reference for those in neural computing, information theory, nonlinear dynamics and complex systems modeling.

This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to the methodological and technical knowledge necessary for the development of embedded systems. At first, the foundations of embedded systems from the fields of electronics, systems theory and control theory are introduced for computer scientists and engineers without extensive knowledge of electrical engineering. Subsequently, system components as well as digital communication between embedded system nodes are discussed. The book ends with procedures for the analysis of embedded systems and for real-time processing. It is aimed at students and users of computer science as well as engineers, physicists and mathematicians who are interested in the basics of developing embedded systems.

Dieses Lehrbuch fur Informatiker und Elektrotechniker gibt einen umfassenden Einblick in Theorie und Praxis des Datenaustausches innerhalb und zwischen Computern. Es wird gezeigt, auf welchen Ebenen Datenkommunikation stattfindet und wie sie erfolgreich realisiert wird. Der Bogen wird von rechnerinternen Systembussen bis hin zu Weitverkehrsnetzwerken gespannt. Das Buch legt dabei Wert auf die Beschreibung aktueller Implementierungen, unter anderem serieller und paralleler Schnittstellen, der Busse PCI, SCSI und USB sowie der Netzwerkstandards Ethernet, Tokenring, FDDI und ATM. Die physikalischen Grundlagen werden insoweit erlautert, wie sie fur das Verstandnis des Einflusses verschiedener Medien auf die Datenubertragung notwendig sind."
