This text provides an account of real-time systems. The presentation makes use of recent research demonstrating the effectiveness and applicability of mathematically-based methods for real-time system design. Each chapter focuses on a particular technique, and examples help reinforce the theory.
This exciting new book provides a detailed account of real-time systems: program structures for real- time, timing analysis using scheduling theory and specifiation and verification in different frameworks. The presentation makes extensive use of recent research which has demonstrated the effectiveness and applicability of mathematically based methods for real-time system design. Each chapter focuses on a particular technique and, taken together, the book as a whole provides broad as well as detailed coverage of the present state-of- the-art. Small examples help reinforce the theory presented in the book.
