Contents:

Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction and overview; 2. Sequential programming with Ada; 3. Task basics; 4. Communication and synchronization based on shared objects; 5. Communication and synchronization based on direct interaction; 6. Distributed systems with Ada; 7. Real-time systems and scheduling concepts; 8. Real-time programming with Ada; 9. Tools for building and verifying real-time applications; Index.

Summary: The arrival and popularity of multi-core processors has sparked a renewed interest in the development of parallel programs. Similarly, the availability of low-cost microprocessors and sensors has generated a great interest in embedded real-time programs. This book provides students and programmers whose backgrounds are in traditional sequential programming with the opportunity to expand their capabilities into parallel, embedded, real-time and distributed computing. It also addresses the theoretical foundation of real-time scheduling analysis, focusing on theory that is useful for actual applications. Written by award-winning educators at a level suitable for undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this book is the first truly entry-level textbook in the subject. Complete examples allow readers to understand the context in which a new concept is used, and enable them to build and run the examples, make changes, and observe the results.
