Design Patterns for Distributed Real-time Embedded Systems

This book provides a taxonomy of distributed real-time and embedded system design patterns, allowing the reader to understand how the patterns can fit together to form a complete application. Based on the information captured from previous DRE system development experience, the text explores the relationships among all of the patterns described within. Several comprehensive examples are presented, illustrating how these patterns can be combined to build real applications, giving the reader motivation for further study and offering concrete descriptions of pattern-oriented design of DRE systems. Developers of DRE systems and members of the open-source middleware community, as well as advanced students of real-time and distributed systems and/or software engineering, will find "Design Patterns for Distributed Real-Time and Embedded Systems" to be one of the most comprehensive pictures of DRE systems available.
