Distributed processing articles in EETimes

[Walters Chris]

The 11/04 issue of Electronic Engineering Times has a special section on 
Distributed Processing with special emphasis on automotive control. Has 
articles on getting away from the single fast CPU approach to building a 
hiearchial ECU where each process runs on its own microcontroller, using the 
Controller Area Network data bus to link all sensors and processors in a car 
(already being done in Europe), other good stuff.
