A must have for all software design projects
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Be it Embedded Systems software development or not, this book is, I believe, a must have for any & all software design projects you undertake. I would not hesitate to consider application of the techniques set forth in a client-server or even web enabled internet paradigm. The author renders UML in context very well & allows for all concepts to make sense via formulation of cognitive models. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for future publications made by this author.
Yes, OO can help in embedded real-time system design !

As an embedded software in space system developper , i didn't really think OOP could be of any use for me. First because OO didn't show itself much valuable for dynamic systems, second because their usually is no OO language supported by our typical hardware. Then i read Real-Time UML. And i found a very simple, clear way to present and organize my design ideas. Furthermore, UML showed itself very efficient in detecting design error, refining some concepts. Now, each time i have to express my feelings, orientations, solutions, i use one or several of UML's diagrams. This is honnestly a must-read book, where any RT embedded system designer will find a good method to clear and refine things. It also shows itself very didactic in explaining the basics of Object Oriented Design. Impressive !
Great book for embedded developers seeking intro. to OT!

I found this book to be very rewarding for us "real-timers". Easy reading, starting with simple concepts and then building to more complex ones... The author explains OO concepts using non-GUI examples which makes this book a "stand-out" for embedded software engineers. I especially enjoyed the cardiac pacemaker example. B. Douglass also does a fine job regarding his discussion of architectural, mechanistic, and detailed design utilizing UML diagrams and notation.
Excellent coverage of very usefull UML applications.

This book is easy to read and study -- tuitorial in nature. Covers the design of real-time systems using the UML OO concepts.
I have been converted.

Thanks to this book, I have finally taken the plunge with OOD for our latest safety critical embedded project. I am surprised at how gentle my induction has been. I had always believed that OO methods were inappropriate for real time applications but Bruce Douglass has persuaded me otherwise. He also provides the UML toolbox to pick and choose from and with these tools designs can be expressed in a pithy and unambiguous way that Douglass demonstrates clearly with many examples. Real time concepts and descriptions, of different architectural designs for example, are made that much clearer by the use of UML. This coupled with a repetitious reinforcement of the concepts and notation of the UML itself have the effect of accelerating understanding as the book progresses.
