From the microprocessor controller in a camera, through \"smart\" traffic lights and production control systems, to large defense systems, computer technology is increasingly a part of systems that control and respond to their environments in real-time. As the technology has improved, we have come to rely on these systems more and more --- we have even put our lives in their hands. Airplanes, biomedical accelerators, nuclear power plants, and the like all depend on real-time control to operate safely. A failure in a control system, such as not responding correctly to faults in the environment, could endanger many lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, there is a tendency for developers to focuse too heavily on the intrcacies of the engineering and computer technology, to the detriment of understanding the real-world problem at hand. At best, this wastes time and resouces and at worst it is dangerous in light of the life-critical nature of today's systems. This misplaced focus can result at least partly from the lack of a comprehensive set of modeling tools and techniques fitted to the real-time development environment. This book provides the tools and techniques needed for visualizing and verifying the operation of a real-time system prior to construction, and demonstrates their usefulness., ISBN13:9780138547875 ISBN10:0138547874 Material Type:paperback\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Used Book Depot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46344875671715,"sku":"B7.27.7 F_07-14-25_PHR_H0000PR5","price":31.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/51D5BPoMdFL.jpg?v=1759993731","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/structured-development-for-real-time-systems-vol-i-introduction-and-tools","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
