Features: This book is undoubtedly a creative work in this field, and everyone can use it as a textbook and reference. It introduces the development process and technology of real-time systems in an accessible manner, provides successful embedded system programming approaches, and employs practical techniques of object-oriented software development to analyze how to improve the quality of real-time programming. The book integrates the latest concepts in embedded system programming, utilizes the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the best practices from object technology, reveals complex and detailed issues in the development process of real-time systems, and clarifies key topics such as schedulability, behavioral patterns, and real-time frameworks, all in an effort to help readers become more effective real-time programmers. The accompanying CD-ROM includes: models from the book and two applications particularly useful in real-time and embedded system development. This book unifies several completely separate disciplines, including real-time systems, object modeling, rapid development processes, and system reliability, with a focus on model-based real-time and embedded system development using UML, as well as the risk-based iterative development lifecycle known as ROPES. The book is divided into four parts: Fundamentals, Analysis, Design, and Advanced Real-Time Object Modeling. Additionally, there are three appendices at the end, summarizing UML notation and introducing two tools—PhaSEODYTimeWiz. This book is suitable as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate students in computer science, as well as a reference for professional software developers.
