TDDD07 Real Time Systems

Literature

Reading guidelines can be found under "Lectures and lessons".

Recommended text books

The following two text books are considered as useful for a broad knowledge in real-time systems, each covering about half of the material in this course (partially overlapping). You can choose to read selected chapters from any of these, but in both cases this should be combined with the articles/e-books mentioned below.
• Jan Carlson et al., Real-time Systems Compendium from MRTC, available for purchase at LiU Servicecenter, Building A, entrance 19 C (opposite to LiU print) for 255SEK, with Ref number A2059. It is also possible to order it online (You need to create a student account and there is an extra fee for shipping). Errata and selected print improvements.
• A. Burns and A. Wellings: Real-Time Systems and Programming Languages (Fourth Edition), Addison-Wesley. 
  An earlier version of this book can be found in Google Books as preview material. For students that are willing to share a borrowed book, we have 6 copies of earlier versions of this book that we can lend on a FCFS basis (contact the course assistant!).
