Great book!

This book is great because it covers all the important concepts quite well. I think it is a must for those into real-time programming.

A good material about RTS, especially for Ada 95 users

This book deals general issues and technical information when you design a software for an embedded system. In addition, the authors consider several real-time languages such as Ada 95, occam2 and C-POSIX interfaces instead of commercial RTOS. In particular, this book can be a good programming guide for Ada 95 users. The authors give comprehensive example source codes for suggested algorithms in Ada 95 languages. I plan to buy another book written by the authors called 'Concurrency in Ada'. Finally, if there is one flaw, many examples are given only in the text. I hope the next edition should contain much more figures to help the readers' easy understanding.
