Annotation: The Unified Modeling Language is rapidly gaining acceptance as the mechanism of choice to model complex software systems at various steps of their specification and design, using a number of orthogonal views that illustrate use cases, class diagrams and even detailed state machine-based behaviors of objects.
UML for Real: Design of Embedded Real-Time Systems aims to show the reality of UML as a medium for specification and implementation of real-time systems, illustrating both the current capabilities and limits of UML for this task, and future directions that will improve its usefulness for real-time and embedded product design. It will also cover selected applications examples. The book is an edited volume of solicited chapters.
The table of contents covers:

-UML and the Real-time/Embedded Domain, with chapters on the role of UML in software development and on UML and Real-Time Systems.
-Representing Key Real-Time Concepts with UML, with chapters on logical structure, on modeling system-level behavior using MSCs and extensions, on platform modeling, on hardware and software object modeling, on fine-grain and high-level patterns for real-time systems, on modeling Quality Of Service and metric time, and finally on performance and schedulability analysis using UML.
-Specific Applications, with chapters on UML in the automotive and telecom domains.
-Process and Tools, with chapters on software performance engineering and on UML tools for real-time processes.

Publisher Description:
The complexity of most real-time and embedded systems often exceeds that of other types of systems since, in addition to the usual spectrum of problems inherent in software, they need to deal with the complexities of the physical world. That world--as the proverbial Mr. Murphy tells us--is an unpredictable and often unfriendly place. Consequently, there is a very strong motivation to investigate and apply advanced design methods and technologies that could simplify and improve the reliability of real-time software design and implementation. As a result, from the first versions of UML issued in the mid 1990's, designers of embedded and real-time systems have taken to UML with vigour and enthusiasm. However, the dream of a complete, model-driven design flow from specification through automated, optimised code generation, has been difficult to realise without some key improvements in UML semantics and syntax, specifically targeted to the real-time systems problem. With the enhancements in UML that have been proposed and are near standardisation with UML 2. 0, many of these improvements have been made. In the Spring of 2003, adoption of a formalised UML 2. 0 specification by the members of the Object Management Group (OMG) seems very close. It is therefore very appropriate to review the status of UML as a set of notations for embedded real-time systems - both the state of the art and best practices achieved up to this time with UML of previous generations - and where the changes embodied in the 2.
