Publisher's Synopsis
Real-time programming languages are essential to hi-tech defence applications, air control, and spacecraft operations. This book explains the concept and characteristics of real-time systems, the software support required for distributed systems and distributed databases, and a design methodology for distributed Ada programs. It analyzes Ada programming language features, describes the Ada distributed environment, and explains the design approach using case studies.;Unlike other books in the field, this deals with concurrent programming languages, distributed systems and design methodologies as an integrated entity. Case studies are used for problem-solving and illustrating specific design principles for typical microprocessor real-time systems.
