Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems
Author: Dimitrios Hristu
The vast majority of control systems built today are embedded; that is, they rely on built-in, special-purpose digital computers to close their feedback loops. Embedded systems are common in aircraft, factories, chemical processing plants, and even in cars-a single high-end automobile may contain over eighty different computers. In such settings, controllers often use shared networks to communicate with each other and with large numbers of sensors and actuators scattered throughout the system. The design of embedded controllers and of the intricate, automated communication networks that support them raises many new questions-practical, as well as theoretical-about network protocols, compatibility of operating systems, and ways to maximize the effectiveness of the embedded hardware.
The Handbook of Networked and Embedded Control Systems, the first of its kind, provides engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and students a broad, comprehensive source of information and technology to address many questions and aspects of embedded and networked control. A carefully organized collection of important results, tools, software, and technology, this work unifies into a single reference many scattered articles, websites, and specification sheets-information that might otherwise be difficult to find.
Key topics and features include:
* Self-contained, sharply-focused articles; readers have easy access to specific answers to questions without having to read hundreds of pages
* Clear structure and presentation of concepts in intuitive order
* Separation of material into six main sections-Fundamentals, Hardware, Software, Theory, Networking, and Applications
* Casestudies, experiments, and examples that provide a multifaceted view of the subject, encompassing computation and communication considerations
* Information about commercially available tools and hardware
* Comprehensive bibliographies and index
This is an indispensable text for anyone interested in knowing more about embedded and networked control systems. Researchers will appreciate the handbook's up-to-date results in the theory of embedded control; developers and users will value its information on special-purpose computer hardware and operating systems modifications that support real-time control; students will find the systematic organization and wide coverage useful for learning and reference.

Description: This is a second edition of a popular book that provides nontechnical information and tools to top-level executives on the major components, functions, capabilities, and life cycle of healthcare information systems. It discusses the role and function of leadership, management, organization, and issues related to healthcare information systems.
Purpose: The book's goal is to be a reliable resource for accurate and timely information to enable the top-level healthcare executive to understand and use health information technology for the benefit of the organization. Using this information, the executive can create and sustain a sold competency in the area of information technology within the healthcare organization.
Audience: The book is directed at the top-level or upper management executives in healthcare organizations. This could include chief executive officers, chief financial officers, chief medical officers and nurse executives. Any other healthcare manager who desires a better understanding of the workings of healthcare information technology systems is a potential reader of the book.
Features: The second edition of this book updates the original 1996 edition that was well received when it was published. The new edition expands on the first edition and includes a greater focus on the business value of new information technologies, a broader discussion of healthcare systems, and a completely new section on the information technology development lifecycle. The book informs executives about current and future trends in information technology which affect healthcare information systems. It presents a model for information technology visioning, planning, selection, development, implementation, and value attainment.
Assessment: Any healthcare executive who feels intimidated by the information technology department in their organization should read this book. It provides a nontechnical review of the healthcare information technology functions and should enable the healthcare executive to communicate and work more effectively with the information systems professionals in their organization.
