Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architecture for Real-Time Systems by Douglass, Bruce Powel (2002) Paperback

Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series

by Bruce Powel Douglass

There is no room for error when creating real-time and embedded (RTE) systems. The nature of the final product demands that these systems be powerful, efficient, and highly reliable. The constraints of limited processor and memory resources add to this challenge. Sophisticated developers rely on design patterns—proven solutions to recurrent design challenges—to build fail-safe RTE systems.Real-Time Design Patterns is the foremost reference for developers seeking to employ this powerful technique. The text begins with a review of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation and semantics, and follows with an introduction to the Rapid Object-Oriented Process for Embedded Systems (ROPES) process and its key technologies. Readers can then survey a catalog of design patterns and their applications.Key topics Identifying large-scale strategic decisions that affect all, or most, software elements Coordinating and organizing system components and subsystems Managing memory and resources Defining how objects can be distributed across multiple systems Building safe and reliable architectures Mapping the subsystem and component architecture to the underlying hardware The book's extensive problem-solving templates, which draw on the author's years in the trenches, will help readers find faster, easier, and more effective design solutions. The accompanying CD-ROM is immensely valuable. It contains patterns, related papers, Object Management Group (OMG) specifications, Rhapsody—a UML-compliant design automation tool that captures analysis and design of systemsfull behavioral code with intrinsic model-level debug capabilities—and RapidRMA, a tool that implements a collection of timeliness and schedulability algorithms.
