Embedded, Cyber-Physical, and IoT Systems: Hybrid Modeling, Real-Time Control, and Connectivity for Modern Engineers

By: Albert B. Amos, Albert B. Amos

Embedded, Cyber-Physical, and IoT Systems: Hybrid Modeling, Real-Time Control, and Connectivity for Modern Engineers

Every smart thermostat, autonomous vehicle, industrial robot arm, and wearable sensor sits at the intersection of three worlds that most textbooks treat separately: the embedded processor that has to hit a deadline, the physical process it senses and controls, and the network that gets its data somewhere useful. Engineers are expected to move fluidly between all three, yet most were never taught how they fit together. This book closes that gap.

Across eighteen rigorously developed chapters, you'll build a single, connected understanding of the field, moving from ARM Cortex-M and RISC-V architectures, memory hierarchies, and interrupt-driven design through GPIO, PWM, and ADC/DAC theory, real-time operating systems and scheduling, sensor and actuator interfacing, digital filtering and sensor fusion, PID and state-space control, clock synchronization and Time-Sensitive Networking, wireless IoT connectivity across Wi-Fi, BLE, Zigbee/Thread, LoRaWAN, and cellular IoT, MQTT and CoAP, edge computing and cloud IoT architecture, edge AI and TinyML, embedded security and secure boot, power management and energy harvesting, hybrid-systems modeling and digital twins, functional safety under IEC 61508 and ISO 26262, and finally hardware-in-the-loop testing, over-the-air updates, and fleet-scale deployment.

Every chapter follows the same rigorous structure: clear learning objectives, derivations built from first principles, fully worked numerical examples with every unit tracked, and practice problems with boxed, verified answers, the way a real engineering reference should work rather than a survey course.

What sets this book apart is that it connects the disciplines instead of separating them. Every chapter cross-references the ones before and after it, so you see exactly how a scheduling decision made early in the book constrains a control-loop design developed later, or how a wireless link budget shapes the cloud architecture built on top of it. Every formula, constant, and answer is derived or sourced rather than asserted, so you can verify it and apply it with confidence. And because the book includes a full glossary, a compiled list of symbols, standards and protocol reference tables, a microcontroller and RTOS quick-reference, and a subject index, it earns a permanent spot on your desk rather than your shelf.

Whether you're a practicing embedded or systems engineer sharpening your cross-disciplinary fluency, or an upper-level engineering student building the foundation for a career in connected devices, this is the single reference that ties embedded computing, cyber-physical control, and IoT connectivity into one coherent, practical discipline.
