| | 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.
