Peter Barry serves as principal engineer in the Intel Embedded & Communications Group. He has worked in the development of embedded systems for over twenty years in Intel, Basic Communications, Nortel Networks and Tellabs, working with processors from Z80, 68K, PowerPC, ARM, XScale and Intel architecture systems. He is an expert in embedded operating systems and embedded platforms, and has developed board support packages for proprietary RTOS, pSOS, VxWorks, WinCE and Linux. He has developed protocol stacks and applications primarily for data communications and telecommunications and industrial applications. Patrick Crowley is an associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. His research interests are in computer and network systems architecture, with a current focus on the design of programmable embedded network systems and the invention of superior network monitoring and security techniques. He co-founded the ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems, and co-edited the three-book series, Network Processor Design. He serves as Associate Editor of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. In 2007, Crowley was chosen to join the DARPA Computer Science Study Group.
It is a unique book in terms of its approach - moving towards consumer electronics applications, which is a large part of the embedded processing market. It includes a focus which is not covered in many other texts, higher level concerns including networking and graphics. - Lee Coraor, Associate Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, Penn State University I agree with the approach. I feel this book will give people a choice for using the Intel atom processor as the basis for an embedded system design course. The material is suitable for the students and the topics appear to be covered well. - Lifford McLauchlan, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Texas A&M University-Kingsville There is need for a good, comprehensive book on embedded design and the lab-based approach using the Intel Architecture is very good and practical. - Tilman Wolf, Associate Professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
