Synopsis

A practical framework for software engineers to design and implement real-time systems. Although there are many theoretical books available, this is really the first book designed specifically for practicing software engineers. After giving the engineer a solid background in architecture and language issues, the author introduces the concept of life cycle design. He follows this with real time management, queuing and multiprocessing. Includes a glossary and a bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Electrical Engineering Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis An Engineer’s Handbook, Second Edition IEEE Press is pleased to bring you this second edition of Phillip A. Laplante’s bestselling, practical guide to building real-time systems. Unlike any other book in the field, Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis provides a holistic, systems-based approach devised to help engineers write problem-solving software. Dr. Laplante incorporates a survey of related technologies and their histories with time-saving practical tips, hands-on instructions, Pascal code, and insights into decreasing ramp-up times. Features of this new edition include:

• An additional chapter on real-time applications
• New material, figures, diagrams, and code
• Additional insights, new concepts
• An annotated reference reading list
• An expanded glossary

Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis is essential for students and practicing software engineers who want improved designs, faster computation, and ultimate cost savings. IEEE Press Order No. PC5383 ISBN 0-7803-3400-0 IEEE Computer Society Press Order No. BP07732
