Real-Time Software Design for Embedded Systems

This tutorial reference takes the reader from use cases to complete architectures for real-time embedded systems using SysML UML and MARTE and shows how to apply the COMET/RTE design method to real-world problems. The author covers key topics such as architectural patterns for distributed and hierarchical real-time control and other real-time software architectures performance analysis of real-time designs using real-time scheduling and timing analysis on single and multiple processor systems. Complete case studies illustrating design issues include a light rail control system a microwave oven control system and an automated highway toll system. Organized as an introduction followed by several self-contained chapters the book is perfect for experienced software engineers wanting a quick reference at each stage of the analysis design and development of large-scale real-time embedded systems as well as for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in software engineering computer engineering and software design.
