The leading text in the field explains step by step how to write software that responds in real time From power plants to medicine to avionics, the world increasingly depends on computer systems that can compute and respond to various excitations in real time. The Fourth Edition of Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis gives software designers the knowledge and the tools needed to create real-time software using a holistic, systems-based approach. The text covers computer architecture and organization, operating systems, software engineering, programming languages, and compiler theory, all from the perspective of real-time systems design. The Fourth Edition of this renowned text brings it thoroughly up to date with the latest technological advances and applications. This fully updated edition includes coverage of the following concepts: <ul>
<li> Multidisciplinary design challenges </li> <li> Time-triggered architectures </li> <li> Architectural advancements </li> <li> Automatic code generation </li> <li> Peripheral interfacing </li> <li> Life-cycle processes </li> </ul>
The final chapter of the text offers an expert perspective on the future of real-time systems and their applications. The text is self-contained, enabling instructors and readers to focus on the material that is most important to their needs and interests. Suggestions for additional readings guide readers to more in-depth discussions on each individual topic. In addition, each chapter features exercises ranging from simple to challenging to help readers progressively build and fine-tune their ability to design their own real-time software programs. Now fully up to date with the latest technological advances and applications in the field, Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis remains the top choice for students and software engineers who want to design better and faster real-time systems at minimum cost.

The fifth edition address the important changes that have occurred in the construction of real-time systems since the publising of the fourth edition in 2011. Some of the important innovations and developments include: safety critical systems, internet of things, mobile computing, software security, and the virtualization of small real-time systems. It is an introductory text about real-time systems -- systems where timeliness is a crucial part of the correctness of the system. Real-time software designers must be familiar with computer architecture and organization, operating systems, software engineering, programming languages, and compiler theory. The text provides a pragmatic overview of these subjects from the perspective of the real-time systems designer. The book is organized into chapters that are essentially self-contained. Thus, the material can be rearranged or omitted depending on the background and interests of the reader or instructor.
