Readings in real-time systems

From the Publisher: This is the second of our Readings in volumes, a series published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Our intent is to provide, in one text, tutorial and intermediate material on developing areas in computer science and engineering. A unique aspect of this series is its origin. Each volume is developed from a special issue of Computer magazine, the IEEE Computer Society's flagship periodical. That is, the editors have chosen articles to produce both a special issue of Computer and, subsequently, a Readings in volume.
