Model-Based Engineering for Complex Electronic Systems

Elsevier Publishing has released a new book, written by Alan Mantooth, distinguished professor in the electrical engineering department at the University of Arkansas, and Peter Wilson, professor of electronics and electrical engineering at Southampton University in the United Kingdom. 

As we move into the future, electrical components become more integrated into all aspects of our society, from the cars we drive, to communication, to how we buy and sell the things that we need to live. In order to ensure efficient, robust electrical systems that can handle the work load demanded of them, designers use many techniques. One of the most important of these techniques is model-based engineering, or the use of component models in the engineering design process. 

To this end, Mantooth and Wilson have written Model-Based Engineering for Complex Electronic Systems. This textbook is intended for practicing engineers and as a reference for graduate students to learn these advanced design and modeling techniques. It provides a complete guide to the methods, techniques and technologies of model-based engineering design for electrical systems, provides methods and models and shows how to adopt various methods for integrated circuit design using actual industrial examples. 

Mantooth holds the College of Engineering’s Twenty-First Century Endowed Chair in Mixed-Signal IC Design and CAD and is the director of the NSF GRid-connected Advanced Power Electronic Systems Center and the NSF Vertically Integrated Center for Transformative Energy Research, and is the executive director of the National Center for Reliable Electric Power Transmission, located on the U of A campus. Wilson is the course leader for Masters in Microelectronics System Design and System On Chip Coordinator for the Erasmus Mundus European Masters in Embedded Computing Systems.
