Real-Time and Distributed Real-Time Systems: Theory and Applications presents a variety of techniques to design, analyze, implement, verify, and validate such systems. The book begins by introducing the basic principles of real-time and distributed real-time systems and then:
- Delivers a detailed analysis of a number of common, real-time communication protocols
- Discusses advancements beyond the standard-switched Ethernet, including multi-stream transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP)
- Depicts the design of distributed real-time systems applications using methodology based on a finite state machine (FSM) representation of a real-time system and its corresponding implementation using Stateflow
- Demonstrates how MATLAB can be used to develop real-time applications and to integrate those applications over a communication network to form a distributed real-time system
- Describes the MATLAB and Simulink based TrueTime as a tool used for the simulation of protocols and distributed real-time system applications in a MATLAB environment
- Delineates the classification of distributed real-time systems applications in terms of failure criticality and severity, safety and integrity levels, life cycle stages, and verification and validation techniques
Individual chapters are supplemented by numerical and analytical problems or simulation exercises to ensure the reader gains a solid grasp of the concepts.
