Abstract
Smart systems represent a broad class of systems defined as intelligent, miniaturized devices incorporating functionality like sensing, actuation, and control. In order to support these functions, they must include sophisticated and heterogeneous components and subsystems such as: application-specific sensors and actuators, multiple power sources and storage devices, intelligence in the form of power management, baseband computation, digital signal processing, power actuators, and subsystems for various types of wireless connectivity (as shown in Fig. 3.1).
