Book Description

0750679069 978-0750679060 October 4, 2006
This practical new book provides much-needed, practical, hands-on experience capturing analysis and design in UML. It holds the hands of engineers making the difficult leap from developing in C to the higher-level and more robust Unified Modeling Language, thereby supporting professional development for engineers looking to broaden their skill-sets in order to become more saleable in the job market.

It provides a laboratory environment through a series of progressively more complex exercises that act as building blocks, illustrating the various aspects of UML and its application to real-time and embedded systems. With its focus on gaining proficiency, it goes a significant step beyond basic UML overviews, providing both comprehensive methodology and the best level of supporting exercises available on the market. Each exercise has a matching solution which is thoroughly explained step-by-step in the back of the book. The techniques used to solve these problems come from the author's decades of experience designing and constructing real-time systems. After the exercises have been successfully completed, the book will act as a desk reference for engineers, reminding them of how many of the problems they face in their designs can be solved.

*Tutorial style text with keen focus on in-depth presentation and solution of real-world example problems

*Highly popular, respected and experienced author

*CD includes test version of the popular Rhapsody tool, allowing engineers to capture and work out the exercises in the book

Editorial Reviews

Review

"As you might expect, there are plenty of UML diagrams. Real-time UML specifications are used throughout, consistent with the purpose of the book. Designers with UML expertise who want to understand how to address real-time applications will find this book useful, as will those in the real-time world who need to understand how to bring UML to bear on the design problem." - William Wong, Electronic Design

Book Description

Go straight to the source and ensure design success with this hands-on workshop from the best-selling embedded UML guru.

More About the Author

Although I was raised by wolves in the forests of Oregon, I got my doctorate in Neurocybernetics from the USD Medical School in 1984. In the old days, I played classical guitar, ran triathlons, fought as a light heavyweight in full-contact Tae Kwon Do (in which I have a black belt), and occassionally created mathematical methods for studying information processing in biological neural systems. Now I am the Chief Evangelist for IBM Rational, spreading joy and technology as I travel the globe. I've contributed to a number of standards - such as UML and SysML - and consult with high-tech embedded developers all over the world building everything from cardiac pacemakers to next-generation space craft. I'm writing more technical books and have started a novel. Oh yes - having never learned to duck effectively, now I only fight inanimate objects that don't hit back!

In addition to the above, I've authored the DoDAF profile for the Rhapsody tool and a safety analysis profile for UML. I'm work actively in the modeling and real-time communities, speak at many conferences, and consult. If you're interested in some consulting, feel free contact me.

I can be followed on Twitter @BruceDouglass or you can join the Real-Time UML yahoo tech site at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT-UML/.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview of UML usec on practical embedd systems, December 11, 2006
By 
LarryC (bolton, ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Time UML Workshop for Embedded Systems (Embedded Technology) (Paperback)
I haven't had this book long, but it seems to provide an overall approach to using UML in several RT systems. Several of the example "systems" are used in the models presented througut the book. It goes through the examples systems for requirements analysis and modeling. It's a problem/answer style "textbook". It provides a brief introduction to UML in the initial chapter, which might not be enough if you are fairly new to modeling or the use of tools such as Rose, RMS, Rhapsody, or EA. The book contains a CD that has a demo version of Rhapsody that says it can generate code for an ARM9 target, for which it includes the Keil toolset and target simulator. It's a fairly readable book, even if you don't do all the examples and just look at the answers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! There is no RT-UML without reading Douglass books., April 3, 2007

Filippo Murroni "Phil" (Dublin, Co.Dublin Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Real Time UML Workshop for Embedded Systems (Embedded Technology) (Paperback)
If you design and develop Real-Time and Embedded Systems, this book is absolutely a must, as well as "Real-Time Design Patterns" by the same author.
Perhaps the two case studies treated in the book are not the best choice the author could make. Nevertheless, these books are corner-stones for model-driven design

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Hands on UML, September 14, 2008
This review is from: Real Time UML Workshop for Embedded Systems (Embedded Technology) (Paperback)
Great book with several examples of using UML.

It is of great help if one needs to get some practical, hands on experience, since it provides detailed information related to UML's usage (the book presents two pretty complete examples - Coyote Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and Roadrunner Traffic Light Controller). I'd say it is invaluable to be used with other theoretical books on UML.

It presents Harmony (Douglass and Hoffman's Systems and Software Engineering Process) and the accompanying CD has Rhapsody, a good modeling tool, along with all examples used throughout the book.

I recommend it for both students and practitioners.

Hope this helps!
