Distributed Real-Time Systems: Theory and Practice (Computer Communications and Networks) by K. Erciyes (PDF)

Description

This classroom-tested textbook describes the design and implementation of software for distributed real-time systems, using a bottom-up approach. The text addresses common challenges faced in software projects involving real-time systems, and presents a novel method for simply and effectively performing all of the software engineering steps. Each chapter opens with a discussion of the core concepts, together with a review of the relevant methods and available software. This is then followed with a description of the implementation of the concepts in a sample kernel, complete with executable code.Topics and features: introduces the fundamentals of real-time systems, including real-time architecture and distributed real-time systems; presents a focus on the real-time operating system, covering the concepts of task, memory, and input/output management; provides a detailed step-by-step construction of a real-time operating system kernel, which is then used to test various higher level implementations; describes periodic and aperiodic scheduling, resource management, and distributed scheduling; reviews the process of application design from high-level design methods to low-level details of design and implementation; surveys real-time programming languages and fault tolerance techniques; includes end-of-chapter review questions, extensive C code, numerous examples, and a case study implementing the methods in real-world applications; supplies additional material at an associated website.Requiring only a basic background in computer architecture and operating systems, this practically-oriented work is an invaluable study aid for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students of electrical and computer engineering, and computer science. The text will also serve as a useful general reference for researchers interested in real-time systems.

Editorial Reviews: Review “This textbook summarizes contemporary knowledge and paradigms of real-time systems in a monographic way. It fits an undergraduate-level course since it starts with basic hardware and low-level real-time system characteristics. … The structure of the textbook and the building up of the chapter show readers how the theoretical background and practice can be handled in a unified framework.” (Bálint Molnár, Computing Reviews, June 18, 2021) From the Back Cover This classroom-tested textbook describes the design and implementation of software for distributed real-time systems, using a bottom-up approach.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐non-trivial errors make reading unnecessarily difficult, many times, I had to rely on google to find out why I don’t understand certain part of the book. Most of them are simple editing errors like k in place of i or j, or P in place of T, but they are super confusing for people learning a new algorithm. It showed that there was not much proof reading before publication.
