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 structural and behavioral 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 essence of real-time systems and introduces a focus on UML design and development. This book elaborates on 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, detailing UML design techniques and demonstrating their application through comprehensive, real-world examples. Based on the UML standard, it covers action semantics metamodels and state machines, and provides in-depth descriptions and demonstrations of how to effectively apply use cases, as well as capturing object models and state behaviors. The book also introduces the author's years of research—Fast Object-Oriented Process for Embedded Systems (FOPEES), a proven product development process—and a new supplement to the UML extension process.
