Real-Time Systems: Design Principles for Distributed Embedded Applications Real-Time Systems Series

Real-Time Systems: Design Principles for Distributed Embedded Applications is written as a standard textbook for a high-level undergraduate or graduate course on real-time embedded systems or cyber-physical systems. Its practical approach to solving real-time problems also makes it an excellent choice for researchers and practitioners.

Compared to the first edition, new developments in complexity management, energy and power management, dependability, security, and the internet of things, are addressed. The book focuses on hard real-time systems, which are computing systems that must meet their temporal specification in all anticipated load and fault scenarios.

The book stresses the system aspects of distributed real-time applications, treating the issues of real-time, distribution and fault-tolerance from an integral point of view. A unique cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts between the academic and industrial worlds has led to the inclusion of many insightful examples from industry to explain the fundamental scientific concepts in a real-world setting.
