Due to the rapidly expanding market for digital media services and systems, there is a growing interest in real-time systems. Real-Time Embedded Systems and Components is a much-needed resource addressing this field for practicing engineers and students, particularly engineers moving from best-effort applications to hard or soft real-time applications. The book is written to teach practicing engineers how to apply real-time theory to the design of embedded components and systems in order to successfully build a real-time embedded system. It is also intended to provide a balance of fundamental theory, review of industry practice, and hands-on experience for undergraduate seniors or first-year grad students preparing for a career in the real-time embedded system industries. Throughout the book, you'll explore hard real-time theory and soft real-time concepts, real-time scheduling, debugging components, high availability and high reliability design, system lifecycles, and the processes for hardware, firmware, and software development for systems built from components. And you'll find a balance of theory, practice, and applications to help you learn the fundamental concepts needed to build your own real-time embedded system.

Very practical and interesting.,
By Hidden Dragon "cym" (Aurora, CO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real-Time Embedded Components and Systems (Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
The code on the CD itself is well worth the money! I like the author's apporach of balancing the real time theory and its application. Having worked with C++ and real time application in the past 10 years, this book tought me something that I didn't learn from anywhere else (RMA, VxWorks, Video driver...). For any serious hard real time application developers, this book is highly recommended!

This review is from: Real-Time Embedded Components and Systems (Computer Engineering) (Hardcover)
Charles River Media is always a guarantee.One of the rare works on the 'eliterian' VxWorks RTOS. The teaching style from the University of Colorado a real gem ! Source code examples cover most of the VxWorks API's. General theory of RTOS's combined with performace issues are the introducing chapters. Digital control, robotics and digital video and audio applications are dedicated and extremely clear chapters of this work. Real world examples, full of code and videoclips related to the subjects discussed in the book.
