Real-time systems: an engineer's guided tour (cd-rom) (laplante)

Real-time and embedded systems, which are closely related, are so ubiquitous that they are impossible to avoid. The term real-time has even entered non-technical jargon. But real-time systems are special and require special considerations to design. Based on the second edition of the best selling text, Real-Time Systems Design and Analysis: An Engineer's Handbook, this video provides an introduction to real-time systems and the real-time problem. Join textbook and course author, Dr. Phillip Laplante, for a guided tour of typical real-time problems. Laplante also develops a vocabulary for future study. The video is designed to complete the book and self-study course of the same name.

A videotaped tutorial on CD-ROM covering Definition of Real-Time Systems, General Structure of a Real-Time System, Unique Design Problems and Challenges, History of Real-Time Systems.
