Features: Embedded and real-time systems are becoming increasingly complex, thus requiring a well-planned and mature design methodology to achieve successful implementation. Object-oriented Unified Modeling Language (UML) can describe the structure and behavior aspects crucial for real-time systems and has become an excellent medium for effective design. Like the best-selling previous edition, the second edition outlines the nature of real-time systems and introduces a focus on UML design and development. This book provides a detailed explanation of requirements analysis, object structure and object behavior definition, architecture design, mechanical design, and more detailed design involving data structures, operations, and exceptions. The book is richly illustrated, elaborating on UML design techniques and demonstrating their application to readers through detailed, real-world examples. Based on the UML standard, the book covers action semantics metamodels and state machines, and provides an in-depth description and demonstration of how to effectively apply use cases, as well as capturing object models and state behavior. The book also introduces the author's years of research— the Rapid Object-Oriented Process for Embedded Systems (ROOPES), a proven product development process—as well as a new supplement to the UML extension process.
