Model-Based Design for Effective Control System Development (Advances in Systems Analysis, Software Engineering, and High Performance Computing)

"This book discusses how to design embedded control systems following the model based design process. The following steps and methods in the development cycle are included in the book: requirement definition, architecture design, controllability analysis, algorithm design, MIL/SIL/HIL simulation, verification and validation, documentation and configuration management"--
