Real-time Systems
Author: Wolfgang A. HalangPublisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9789810210649
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
This book represents the first comprehensive text in English on real-time and embedded computing systems. It is addressed to engineering students of universities and polytechnics as well as to practitioners and provides the knowledge required for the implementation of industrial computerized process control and manufacturing automation systems. The book avoids mathematical treatment and supports the relevance of the concepts introduced by practical examples and case studies. Special emphasis is placed on a sound conceptual basis and on methodologies and tools for the development of high quality control software, since software dependability has been identified as the major problem area of computerized process automation.

Timing Analysis of Real-Time Software
Author: M.G. RoddPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080983960
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The authors set out to address fundamental design issues facing engineers when developing the software for real-time computer-based control systems – in which all programs must be safe, reliable, predictable and able to cope with the occurence of faults. Despite rapid progress in computer technology, the attention of designers is still focused on finding logically correct algorithms to implement the required control. It has, however, become evident that this is insufficient and that attention must be paid to meeting the complex timing interactions which occur between the systems under control and the computers controlling them. This book suggests that the answers lie in the use of understandable, engineering-relevant, mathematically sound tools for expressing and analysing the complex temporal interactions. Timing Analysis of Real-Time Software is not a designer's handbook; rather it discusses the nature of the problems involved and how they can be handled. The focus is on the use of modelling techniques based on the so-called Quirk-model, initially developed in the United Kingdom and, over the past decade, extensively developed in institutions in the ex-Soviet Union and Europe. This book shows how the techniques can be used to form the basis of a new generation of CASE (computer assisted software engineering) tools, and examples are given of how these can be used to design embedded systems ranging from digital controllers through to communication protocol handlers.
Analysable Real-time Systems
Author: Alan BurnsPublisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781530265503
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 530
Book Description
How do real-time systems differ from normal information processing systems? How can real-time systems be analysed to ensure they satisfy their temporal constraints? Which features are needed in programming languages to implement real-time systems? This latest book from Burns and Wellings answers these and other key questions about real-time systems. It provides an in-depth analysis of the requirements for designing and implementing real-time, embedded, cyber-physical systems, and discusses how these requirements are supported by the Ada programming language. No other book on real-time (or concurrent) programming covers the same breadth of material. Topics covered in this book include: The definition of real-time, its necessary characteristics and desirable properties. Scheduling schemes, including fixed priority scheduling, Earliest Deadline First and Value-based scheduling. Analysis methods, including response-time analysis and processor demand analysis. Introduction to the Ada programming language. Programming adaptive and predictable real-time systems in Ada. Programming reliable and fault-tolerant systems in Ada. Analysing and programming for multiprocessor and multicore platforms. Mixed-criticality systems The book is aimed at Final Year and Masters students in Computer Science and related disciplines. It has also been written with the professional software engineer, and real-time systems engineer, in mind. The material presented reflects the content of courses developed over a number of years by the authors at the University of York.

Concurrency in Ada
Author: Alan BurnsPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521629119
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
A major feature of the Ada programming language is the facilities it provides for concurrent programming. Alan Burns and Andy Wellings provide here a thorough and self-contained account of concurrent programming in Ada, and so show users, even beginners, how to harness the full power of the whole language. After giving an overview of the non-concurrent features of Ada, the authors proceed to examine in detail the uses of concurrent programming and the inherent difficulties in providing inter-process communication. The Ada tasking model is then introduced; the way it deals with these and related matters is explained in a number of separate chapters, covering system programming, real-time issues, distribution, object-oriented programming and re-use. This is the first book which deals with concurrent features in the new Ada standard, and it offers practical advice to the programmer needing to use it for embedded systems, while those interested more broadly in the development of programming languages will find many otherwise inaccessible issues probed in depth. It will thus be of value to professional software engineers and advanced students of programming alike; indeed, every Ada programmer will find it essential reading and a primary reference work. For the paperback edition the authors have made revisions throughout the text, updating and correcting where appropriate.
