Dynamically Reconfigurable Systems is the first ever to focus on the emerging field of Dynamically Reconfigurable Computing Systems. While programmable logic and design-time configurability are well elaborated and covered by various texts, this book presents a unique overview over the state of the art and recent results for dynamic and run-time reconfigurable computing systems.

Reconfigurable hardware is not only of utmost importance for large manufacturers and vendors of microelectronic devices and systems, but also a very attractive technology for smaller and medium-sized companies. Hence, Dynamically Reconfigurable Systems also addresses researchers and engineers actively working in the field and provides them with information on the newest developments and trends in dynamic and run-time reconfigurable systems.

Embedded Software for SoC covers all software related aspects of SoC design:
-Embedded and application-domain specific operating systems, interplay between application, operating system, and architecture.
-System architecture for future SoC, application-specific architectures based on embedded processors and requiring sophisticated hardware/software interfaces.
-Compilers and interplay between compilers and architectures.
-Embedded software for applications in the domains of automotive, avionics, multimedia, telecom, networking. Embedded Software for SoC is a must-read for SoC designers that want to broaden their horizons to include the ever-growing embedded software content of their next SoC design. The book will provide embedded software designers invaluable insights into the constraints imposed by the use of embedded software in a SoC context.
