Abstract

Methods for software engineering of a general computer system are well established, however, software engineering for real-time and embedded systems are different than a non-real-time system. We start this chapter with the basic and general software engineering concepts of design, which can be implemented in a real-time system. We then describe the requirement specification process followed by the timing analysis. Procedural design and object-oriented design are reviewed as applied to real-time systems. The specification and detailed design of real-time systems employ finite-state machines, timed automata, and Petri nets as described.
