Real-Time Embedded Systems Software Project Management

Project management reaches across many disciplines including, of course, embedded systems engineering. This book provides a solid base for enriching and streamlining the design to build lifecycle of a real-time embedded system project. Rob Oshana has 25+ years of experience in the industry which he uses along with real-life case studies and industry examples to set forth a phased lifecycle approach.

As the first book to present a complete process for project management of embedded systems it contains a wealth of information including tools, guidelines, and techniques applicable from processor selection to integration to deployment. Initial issues presented by a real-time application are discussed including stimuli/repsonse, mapping, and managing of requirements. Optimization, testing, debugging, and integration are all highlighted as part of the lifecycle management process. This book is a must-have for team leads and managers and engineers of all levels trying to understand how their piece of the puzzle fits into the big picture.

*Focused set of processes, tools, guidelines, and techniques provided for software project management
*No other book covers the entire lifecycle of an embedded software product
*Filled with industry examples and real-world case studies

Rob Oshana has over 25 years of experience in the real-time embedded industry, in both embedded application development as well as embedded tools development. He is currently director of engineering for the Development Technology group at Freescale Semiconductor. Rob is also a Senior Member of IEEE and an adjunct at Southern Methodist University.
