A Systematic Approach to Designing Distributed Real-Time Systems

Real-time computing systems are critical to the technological infrastructure ture of an industrialized nation. Modern telecommunication systems, factories, defense systems, aircraft and airports, spacecraft, and high-energy physics experiments cannot operate without them. Indeed, real-time computing systems control the very systems that keep us productive, safeguard our liberty, and enable us to explore new frontiers of science and engineering. In real-time applications, a computation’s correctness depends not only on its results but also on when its outputs are generated. The measures of merit in a real-time system include.
