Preface
The primary objective of this book is to serve as a textbook for students who take a senior undergraduate or a first-year graduate course on real-time embedded systems, also called cyber-physical systems. The structure of the book – the material is organized into 14 chapters – maps to the 14 weeks of a semester. The book is also intended for practitioners in industry who want to learn about the state of the art in real-time embedded system design and need a reference book that explains the fundamental concepts of the field. More than 1,000 students used the first edition of this book, published about 14 years ago, as a text for the real-time systems course at the Vienna University of Technology. The feedback from these students and many new developments in this dynamic field of embedded real-time systems have been incorporated in this fundamentally revised second edition of the book. The focus of the book is on the design of distributed real-time systems at the architecture level. While a significant part of the established computer science literature abstracts from the progression of real-time, real-time system designers cannot get away with such an abstraction. In this book, the progression of physical time is considered a firstorder citizen that shapes many of the relevant concepts. The book explains the fundamental concepts related to the progression of time on a number of practical insightful examples from industry. The conceptual model of a distributed real-time distributed system has been extended and precise defi
