Description
How do real-time systems differ from normal
information systems? Which languages are best for implementing different
real-time systems? The fourth edition of this best-selling text on real-time
systems answers these and other questions. It provides an in-depth analysis of
the requirements for designing and implementing real-time embedded systems, and
discusses how these requirements are met by current languages and operating
systems. The languages are not only described, but also critically evaluated. No
other book on real-time (or concurrent) programming languages covers the same
breadth of material.
