Abstract

This chapter contains the first of the kernel models in this book. The kernel modelled here is deliberately simple but is still useful. It is intended to be a kernel for an embedded or small real-time system and to be a specification of a workable system—one aim of the exercise is to produce a specification that could be refined to working code. (As noted in Chapter 1, the kernels in this book have been revised somewhat and are being refined to code as a concurrent activity by the author.)
