This book provides readers with a hands-on guide to system architecture design and platform development strategies for electronic systems. While system architecture design is a sub topic of systems engineering, the author discusses platform development as a matter of strategy, engineering efficiency and quality. This book helps readers by combining system architecture and platform development in a defined way, discussing processes and consequences in the context of the newest developments in technology, processes and management, such as artificial intelligence, agile development, and organizational change.

• Provides first book to offer a combined perspective on system architecture design and platform development strategy;
• Offers a systematic, state-of-the-art description of all aspects of system architecture and platform development;
• Presents system architecture and platform development in the modern context of agile development and artificial intelligence, as it relates to product development in the electronics industry.

Über Autor(innen)

Tobias Münch studied Telecommunication Electronics at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany. After finishing his diploma, he started his professional career in the automotive industry, where he worked on several innovative predevelopment systems and products as a DSP engineer.
He quickly moved on to work as system architect and chief engineer for head units and amplifiers – including as the lead of RFIs/RFQs – for several major car manufacturers in Europe, North America, and Asia. Throughout his career, he has applied agile development methods across the span of predevelopment, platform development, and product development projects.
Münch has always had structural, societal, and technical change in mind to create technology and system development solutions that anticipate the future and have long-term validity for B2B and eventually B2C customers. As Director of Technology Development and Software Development, he managed several horizontal and vertical international teams through changes in the automotive industry, which was becoming increasingly driven by software, connectivity, and consumer electronics. Furthermore, he was requested to share his knowledge and insights in several company internal university courses and at industry-wide conferences. Münch decided to move into the consumer industry to apply his automotive knowledge regarding software, connectivity, and embedded systems and become more experienced also in other industries. He currently holds the position of Head of Audio & Embedded Platforms.
