Summary: Excellent job of combining theory with pragmatics.
Comment: Bruce Douglass has written an excellent book. I like how he introduces the problems of development and design that are unique to real time systems, and then demonstrates how, with the UML, one goes about modeling solutions to these problems. The discussion on patterns relative to real time systems is what really sets this book apart. Most of the current patterns work does not reach into this domain, and Bruce has done an excellent job of combining theory (in the world of patterns) with pragmatics (in the world of real time systems).

Summary: Don't waste your Money
Comment: This book is so poorly edited that the examples are very difficult to follow. It appears that this book was originally written as a much bigger book, and then was severely edited-down to its final size. In the process the examples that are used throughout the book were cut-up to the point where they no longer hold together. There are too many inconsistencies between the various sections of the book to follow the details in the examples.
A much better book is by the same author: "Doing Hard Time: Developing Real-Time Systems with UML, Objects, Frameworks and Patterns". This book does an excellent job covering the following very difficult topics: 1. Designing Hard Real-Time, Embedded Systems; 2. Designing Object-Oriented Systems; 3. Using UML correctly; 4. Using OO Patterns; 5. Designing an OO Framework
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent UML Boot for Real-time/Embedded developers.
Comment: This is a well written text. The authors use of practical examples (Pace Maker for example) to explain various UML topics helped to relate the concepts together across chapters. The book takes on a real world focus that enables the reader to directly apply what is learned into their own development environment. The flow of the book concludes with a discussion of three levels of design using the UML (Architecture/Mechanistic and Detailed). With these chapters the reader gains a practical insight into the design of a system utilizing the concepts introduced in the earlier chapters.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who designs Real Time and Embedded systems and is interested in integrating the UML into their designs.
