"e;This book is a comprehensive text for the design of safety critical, hard real-time embedded systems. It offers  a splendid example for the balanced, integrated treatment of systems and software engineering, helping readers tackle the hardest problems of advanced real-time system design, such as determinism, compositionality, timing and fault management. This book is an essential reading for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in a wide range of disciplines impacted by embedded computing and software. Its conceptual clarity, the style of explanations and the examples make the abstract concepts accessible for a wide audience."e;Janos Sztipanovits, DirectorE. Bronson Ingram Distinguished Professor of EngineeringInstitute for Software Integrated SystemsVanderbilt UniversityReal-Time Systems focuses on hard real-time systems, which are computing systems that must meet their temporal specification in all anticipated load and fault scenarios. The book stresses the system aspects of distributed real-time applications, treating the issues of real-time, distribution and fault-tolerance from an integral point of view. A unique cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts between the academic and industrial worlds has led to the inclusion of many insightful examples from industry to explain the fundamental scientific concepts in a real-world setting.  Compared to the Second Edition, new developments in communication standards for time-sensitive networks, such as TSN and Time-Triggered Ethernet are addressed. Furthermore, this edition includes a new chapter on real-time aspects in cloud and fog computing.The book is written as a standard textbook for a high-level undergraduate or graduate course on real-time embedded systems or cyber-physical systems.  Its practical approach to solving real-time problems, along with numerous summary exercises, makes it an excellent choice for researchers and practitioners alike.

Jugendliches Genie und enfant terrible, Visionär und Provokateur, Künstler, Waffenhändler und Matrose: Arthur Rimbaud war nicht nur ein begnadeter Lyriker, sondern auch ein schillernder und faszinierender Mensch. Sein kurzes, pralles Leben machte ihn zum gleichermaßen geliebten wie gehassten Mittelpunkt der expressionistischen Avantgarde in Paris und zur Inspiration für Generationen von Künstlern.In seinem Essay unternimmt Wilfried Steiner einen lustvollen, inspirierenden Streifzug durch das Leben Rimbauds, dem er sich über sein Hauptwerk Le Bateau ivre annähert - oder vielmehr: über die sehr unterschiedlichen Methoden, mit denen Übersetzer dieses Langgedicht ins Deutsche übertragen haben und in denen sich zugleich sehr verschiedene Sichtweisen auf Rimbauds Werk spiegeln. Er spürt damit den Schattierungen jenes Textes nach, der laut Stefan Zweig »wie die rote Fahne der Anarchie über der französischen Lyrik weht«, und lädt gleichzeitig ein, tief in das widerspruchs- und wendungsreiche Leben Rimbauds einzutauchen.
