title: Real-Time UML: Developing Efficient Objects for Embedded Systems
author:  Bruce Powel Douglass 
description: It's no surprise that object-oriented analysis and design can work for embedded systems--such as those in VCRs, car engines, elevators, pacemakers, and other hardware devices--which far outnumber traditional computers. That's the argument of Bruce Douglass's <i>Real-Time UML</i>, which presents the latest modeling techniques using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in the context of embedded design. This book is a successful introduction to both UML and the vagaries of embedded systems, which have their own set of pitfalls and constraints for efficiency and high reliability.

  "I found Real Time UML, Third Edition, to provide an
  informative and practical application of UML 2.0 to the
  development of real-time systems, and well worth the read
  by systems and software engineers. It is written in plain
  English and provides the right balance of depth and
  breadth."

  The increasing complexity of embedded and real-time
  systems requires a more premeditated and sophisticated
  design approach for successful implementation. The object-
  based Unified Modeling Language (UML) can describe the
  structural and behavioral aspects critical to real-time
  systems and has come to the fore as an outstanding
  medium f
