Edwards in is the private sector, but a colleague has used this work for a one-semester graduate and senior-undergraduate course in embedded systems, and each chapter ends with a set of simple exercises similar to those used there. Readers are assumed to be familiar with one of the hardware or software languages, such as C or Verilog. Edwards presents and contrasts languages commonly used to describe the subsystems in a cellular phone and similar digital embedded systems. They range from hardware modeling to digital signal processing, but he limits the discussion to languages that manipulate discrete, digital values, recognizing that designing real systems sometimes involves coloring outside that line but not very often.

Designed as the definitive reference on the compilation of the Esterel synchronous reactive real-time language, Compiling Esterel covers all aspects of the language. The book includes a tutorial, a reference manual, formal semantics, and detailed technical information about the many techniques used to compile it. Researchers as well as advanced developers will find this book essential for understanding Esterel at all levels.
