A Practitioner's Handbook for Real-Time Analysis: Guide to Rate
Monotonic Analysis for Real-Time Systems contains an invaluable
collection of quantitative methods that enable real-time system
developers to understand, analyze, and predict the timing behavior of
many real-time systems. The methods are practical and theoretically
sound, and can be used to assess design tradeoffs and to troubleshoot
system timing behavior. This collection of methods is called rate
monotonic analysis (RMA).
The Handbook includes a framework for describing and categorizing the
timing aspects of real-time systems, step-by-step techniques for
performing timing analysis, numerous examples of real-time situations to
which the techniques can be applied, and two case studies.
A Practitioner's Handbook for Real-Time Analysis: Guide to Rate
Monotonic Analysis for Real-Time Systems has been created to serve as
a definitive source of information and a guide for developers as they
analyze and design real-time systems using RMA. The Handbook is an
excellent reference, and may be used as the text for advanced courses on
the subject.
