Modelling distributed control systems using IEC 61499
R.W. Lewis
Engineers Australia member price: $87.27 + GST = $95.99
Non-member price: $109.09 + GST = $119.99
New technologies and standards are emerging which will have a dramatic effect on the design and implementation of future industrial control systems. PLCs and PC-based soft controllers are beginning to use software components, such as object-oriented technology, to bring together the hitherto different worlds of factory automation and business systems. New tools and techniques are needed to design and model these systems, such as UML and modern fieldbus technology. The new IEC 61499 standard has been developed specifically to model distributed control systems, defining concepts and models so that software in the form of function blocks can be interconnected to define the behaviour of a distributed control system.

The electric car: development and future of battery, hybrid and fuel-cell cars
M. Westbrook
Engineers Australia member price: $67.88 + GST = $74.67
Non-member price: $$84.84 + GST = $93.32
Electric cars have been hailed at various times as the answer to the adverse effect of the internal combustion engine on urban pollution and the generation of greenhouse gases, but in spite of considerable work by the automotive industry, electric vehicles and particularly electric cars have failed to raise much interest in the car buying public. Limitations of range and performance are well known and perception has not been helped by the unsuccessful launch of electric cars of very limited capability in recent years. Considerable work has however gone into electric car and battery development in the last ten years with the prospect of substantial improvements in range and performance in battery cars as well as in hybrids and those using fuel cells. This book covers the development of electric cars, from their early days, to new hybrid models in production, but the majority of the book deals with the very latest technological issues faced by automotive engineers working on electric cars, as well as the key business factors vital for the successful transfer of electric cars into the mass market.

UML for systems engineering: watching the wheels
J. Holt
Engineers Australia member price: 109.09 + GST = $120.00
Non-member price: $136.36 + GST = $150.00
This book is based on a very successful IEE course which is in turn based on many years research into modelling and the Unified Modelling Language (UML) by the author. The UML is the new industry standard for modelling software-intensive systems and this book looks at several applications where the UML can be used as part of a generic approach to aid many kinds of problem solving and information modelling. These include: modelling standards, processes and procedures, requirements engineering, implementation of processes, assessment of tools, defining a quality system, lifecycles and lifecycle models and software. The book is intended to bring UML to the wider audience of systems engineers, and its application to real examples for non-software applications; a problem which is widely acknowledged in other texts, but rarely addressed.
