Features: This book is undoubtedly one of the most creative works in this field, serving as a textbook and reference for everyone. It introduces the development process and techniques of real-time systems in an accessible manner, providing successful embedded system programming approaches. The book employs practical techniques from object-oriented software development to analyze how to improve the quality of real-time programming. It combines the latest concepts in embedded system programming, using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the best practices from object technology to reveal complex and detailed issues in real-time system development. It clarifies key topics such as schedulability, behavioral patterns, and real-time frameworks, aiming 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. It focuses 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, it includes 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.
