Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis

Zusatztext

<b>The leading text in the field explains step by step how to write software that responds in real time</b><p>From power plants to medicine to avionics, the world increasingly depends on computer systems that can compute and respond to various excitations in real time. The<i>Fourth Edition of Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis</i> gives software designers the knowledge and the tools needed to create real-time software using a holistic, systems-based approach. The text covers computer architecture and organization, operating systems, software engineering, programming languages, and compiler theory, all from the perspective of real-time systems design.</p><p>The<i>Fourth Edition</i> of this renowned text brings it thoroughly up to date with the latest technological advances and applications. This fully updated edition includes coverage of the following concepts:</p><ul><li><p>Multidisciplinary design challenges</p></li><li><p>Time-triggered architectures</p></li><li><p>Architectural advancements</p></li><li><p>Automatic code generation</p></li><li><p>Peripheral interfacing</p></li><li><p>Life-cycle processes</p></li></ul><p>The final chapter of the text offers an expert perspective on the future of real-time systems and their applications.</p><p>The text is self-contained, enabling instructors and readers to focus on the material that is most important to their needs and interests. Suggestions for additional readings guide readers to more in-depth discussions on each individual topic. In addition, each chapter features exercises ranging from simple to challenging to help readers progressively build and fine-tune their ability to design their own real-time software programs.</p><p>Now fully up to date with the latest technological advances and applications in the field,<i>Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis</i> remains the top choice for students and software engineers who want to design better and faster real-time systems at minimum cost.</p>
