Description:

Ada is the only ISO standard object oriented concurrent real-time programming language. It is intended for use in large, long-lived applications where reliability and efficiency are essential. It is particularly relevant for real-time and embedded systems. Alan Burns and Andy Wellings provide here a a thorough and self-contained account of how the Ada tasking model can be used to construct a wide variety of concurrent and real-time systems. This is the only book that focuses on an in-depth discussion of the Ada tasking model. In this new edition, the discussion is brought up-to-date to include both the new Ada 2005 language and the recent advances in real-time programming techniques. It…

Andy Wellings is a Professor of Real-Time Systems in the Computer Science Department at University of York. He is interested in most aspects of the design and implementation of real-time dependable computer systems and, in particular, real-time programming languages and operating systems. He is European Editor-in-Chief for the Computer Science journal Software-Practice and Experience and a member of the International Expert Groups currently developing extensions to the Java platform for real-time, safety critical and distributed programming. He has authored over 200 papers and several books, including Real-time Systems and Programming Languages (3rd edition) and Concurrency in Ada (2nd… Edition).
