Publisher's Note
This text provides a firm foundation in the knowledge, skills and techniques needed to develop and produce real-time, and in particular, embedded systems. It provides the arguments, examples, techniques and methodologies to demonstrate that the discipline of software engineering has much to offer the developer of real-time software. Written in an accessible style and complemented by numerous diagrams, it guides the reader through the steps of a total design approach: from initial definition of the task, through fundamentals of analysis, specification and design, to design methods and development tools, and finally documentation procedures. The comprehensive coverage and real-world perspective make the book accessible and appealing to both beginners and experienced designers.
Features
* covers both the fundamentals of software design and modern design methodologies * provides comparisons of different development methods, tools and languages
* blends theory and practical experience together
* emphasizes the use of diagrams and is highly illustrated
