商品描述
Embedded computer systems are now everywhere: from alarm clocks to PDAs, from mobile phones to cars, almost all the devices we use are controlled by embedded computers. An important class of embedded computer systems is that of hard real-time systems, which have to fulfill strict timing requirements. As real-time systems become more complex, they are often implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures.
Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems addresses the design of real-time applications implemented using distributed heterogeneous architectures. The systems are heterogeneous not only in terms of hardware components, but also in terms of communication protocols and scheduling policies. Regarding this last aspect, time-driven and event-driven systems, as well as a combination of the two, are considered. Such systems are used in many application areas like automotive electronics, real-time multimedia, avionics, medical equipment, and factory systems. The proposed analysis and synthesis techniques derive optimized implementations that fulfill the imposed design constraints. An important part of the implementation process is the synthesis of the communication infrastructure, which has a significant impact on the overall system performance and cost.
Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems considers the mapping and scheduling tasks within an incremental design process. To reduce the time-to-market of products, the design of real-time systems seldom starts from scratch. Typically, designers start from an already existing system, running certain applications, and the design problem is to implement new functionality on top of this system. Supporting such an incremental design process provides a high degree of flexibility, and can result in important reductions of design costs.
Analysis and Synthesis of Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems will be of interest to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and designers involved in the field of embedded systems.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
嵌入式計算機系統現在無處不在：從鬧鐘到個人數位助理（PDA），從手機到汽車，幾乎所有我們使用的設備都由嵌入式計算機控制。一個重要的嵌入式計算機系統類別是硬實時系統，這些系統必須滿足嚴格的時間要求。隨著實時系統變得越來越複雜，它們通常使用分散式異構架構來實現。
《分散式實時嵌入式系統的分析與綜合》探討了使用分散式異構架構實現的實時應用程序的設計。這些系統在硬體組件方面是異構的，同時在通信協議和排程策略方面也是如此。關於這最後一個方面，考慮了基於時間驅動和事件驅動的系統，以及兩者的組合。這類系統被廣泛應用於汽車電子、實時多媒體、航空電子、醫療設備和工廠系統等多個應用領域。所提出的分析和綜合技術導出滿足設計約束的最佳實現方案。實現過程中的一個重要部分是通信基礎設施的綜合，這對整體系統性能和成本有著重要影響。
《分散式實時嵌入式系統的分析與綜合》考慮了在增量設計過程中映射和排程任務。為了縮短產品的上市時間，實時系統的設計很少從零開始。通常，設計者會從一個已存在的系統開始，該系統運行某些應用程序，而設計問題是如何在這個系統上實現新功能。支持這樣的增量設計過程提供了高度的靈活性，並能顯著降低設計成本。
《分散式實時嵌入式系統的分析與綜合》將吸引高年級本科生、研究生、研究人員和從事嵌入式系統領域的設計師。
