Real-Time Software Design for Embedded Systems

This tutorial reference takes the reader from use cases to complete architectures for real-time embedded systems using SysML, UML, and MARTE and shows how to apply the COMET/RTE design method to real-world problems. The author covers key topics such as architectural patterns for distributed and hierarchical real-time control and other real-time software architectures, performance analysis of real-time designs using real-time scheduling, and timing analysis on single and multiple processor systems. Complete case studies illustrating design issues include a light rail control system, a microwave oven control system, and an automated highway toll system. Organized as an introduction followed by several self-contained chapters, the book is perfect for experienced software engineers wanting a quick reference at each stage of the analysis, design, and development of large-scale real-time embedded systems, as well as for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in software engineering, computer engineering, and software design.

這本教學參考書引導讀者從使用案例到完整架構，介紹了使用SysML、UML和MARTE來開發即時嵌入式系統的方法，並展示了如何應用COMET/RTE設計方法解決實際問題。作者涵蓋了分散和階層式即時控制的架構模式以及其他即時軟體架構的關鍵主題，使用即時排程進行即時設計的效能分析，以及在單處理器和多處理器系統上的時序分析。完整的案例研究展示了設計問題，包括輕軌控制系統、微波爐控制系統和自動高速公路收費系統。本書分為引言和幾個獨立章節，非常適合有經驗的軟體工程師在分析、設計和開發大型即時嵌入式系統的各個階段中快速查閱，同時也適用於軟體工程、電腦工程和軟體設計的高年級本科生或研究生課程。
