Real-time embedded systems : design principles and engineering practices / Xiaocong Fan

This book integrates new ideas and topics from real time systems, embedded systems, and software engineering to give a complete picture of the whole process of developing software for real-time embedded applications. You will not only gain a thorough understanding of concepts related to microprocessors, interrupts, and system boot process, appreciating the importance of real-time modeling and scheduling, but you will also learn software engineering practices such as model documentation, model analysis, design patterns, and standard conformance. Features include: coverage of UML standard (UML 2.4); over 20 design patterns which represent the best practices for reuse in a wide range of real-time embedded systems; example codes which have been tested in QNX, a real-time operating system widely adopted in industry.

Includes bibliographical references and index
