Product Description

Product Description
This book provides an in-depth analysis of the requirements for designing and implementing real-time embedded systems and discusses how these requirements are met by current languages and operating systems. The comparative advantages of Ada 95, Real-Time Java and Real-Time POSIX are discussed in full. No other book on real-time programming languages (or concurrent programming languages) covers this range of topics. The latest trends in real-time systems are discussed. The emergence of Java as a real-time language through the Real-Time Java extensions has resulted in the treatment of Java as one of the core languages covered in the book. The additional real-time facilities in POSIX are explored as well as the proposed extensions to CORBA to address real-time issues.

Alan Burns and Andy Wellings

How do real-time systems differ from normal information systems? Which languages are best for implementing different real-time systems?
The third edition of this best-selling text on real-time systems answers these and other questions. It provides an in-depth analysis of the requirements for designing and implementing real-time embedded systems, and discusses how these requirements are met by current languages and operating systems. The languages are not only described, but also critically evaluated. No other book on real-time (or concurrent) programming languages covers the same breadth of material.
New to this edition
· Real-Time Java is introduced
· Updated coverage of Real-Time POSIX to reflect the current standard
· A summary of the Real-Time CORBA effort
· A description of the Ada-based Ravenscar profile for high-integrity systems
· Expanded coverage of schedulability analysis
Alan Burns and Andy Wellings are both based in the Computer Science Department at the University of York, UK. Professor Burns holds a Personal Chair in Real-Time Systems. He has authored or co-authored over 300 papers/reports and seven books mostly in the Ada or real-time area, and is chair of the IEEE Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems (2001-2003). Andy Wellings is Professor of Real-Time Systems and is the author of over 200 papers/reports and several books, as well as being European Editor-in-Chief for the journal Software Practice and Experience.

3.0 out of 5 stars a bit disappointed, 9 Jun 2004
By Tommaso Galleri (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is too much focused on programming languages and yet it does not fully cover them. A few interesting chapters, for example on schedulability and fault tolerance. This is the first book I have read on realtime systems. Before reading this book I had already read books on programming languages concepts and on operating system concepts, as a result many of the concepts of this book were already familiar to me. I was expecting to learn many new things, and to read something much more "realtime oriented" but this has not been the case and I am a bit disappointed. This book makes abundant use of maths but it is still very readable as the formulas are all very easy to understand.
