by Rob Williams"Real-Time Systems Development" Butterworth-Heinemann | ISBN: 0750664711 | 2005. | 468 p. | RARed PDF 1.97MB Real-time Systems Development is a text for computing students who want to understand more about the development of software for real-time applications, involving concurrent programming, multi-tasking, data i/o and embedded processors. The book has been written to cover single semester final year undergraduate options or MSc modules in the area of real-time systems design and implementation. Assuming a certain level of general systems design and programming experience, this text will extend students knowledge and skills into an area of computing which has increasing relevance in a modern world of telecommunications and intelligent equipment using embedded microcontrollers... * Concise treatment delivers material in manageable sections * Includes handy glossary, references and practical exercises based on familiar scenarios * Supporting website contains slides, solutions to problems and software examples As more and more of our daily technology depends on embedded microprocessors, the demand for good real-time software has grown enormously. So it is unfortunate that computer science students frequently only develop and run programs on standard desktop Windows platforms. This leaves them somewhat unprepared for the extra problems encountered should they end up producing code for a new DVD player, a mobile handset or an Internet packet router. This text reveals some of the particular difficulties encountered when designing for real-time systems, and the alternative routes available for software realization. It is perhaps a shame that so few programmers have the opportunity to study the science and art of real-time systems before being confronted by their first real-time project. As a large proportion of new domestic and leisure equipment relies on microprocessors for basic operations, the world might be a safer and less frustrating experience for all of us if this situation could be rectified.
