文档介绍：Real-Time Systems
Real-time systems need to react to certain input stimuli within given time bounds.
For example, an airbag in a car has to unfold within 300 milliseconds in a crash.
There are many embedded safety-critical applications and each requires real-time
specification techniques. This textbook introduces three of these techniques, based
on logic and automata: Duration Calculus, Timed Automata, and PLC-Automata.
The techniques are brought together to form a seamless design flow, from real-
time requirements specified in the Duration Calculus, via designs specified by PLC-
Automata, and into source code for hardware platforms of embedded systems. The
syntax, semantics, and proof methods of the specification techniques are introduced;
their most important properties are established; and real-life examples illustrate their
use. Detailed case studies and exercises conclude each chapter.
Ideal for students of real-time systems or embedded systems, this text will also be
of great interest to researchers and professionals in transportation and automation.
