Concurrent and Real-Time Programming in Ada 2005
Cambridge University Press, 2007
ISBN-13: 9780521866972

Ada is the only ISO-standard, object-oriented, concurrent, real-time 
programming language. It is intended for use in large, long-lived 
applications where reliability and efficiency are essential, 
particularly real-time and embedded systems. In this book, Alan Burns 
and Andy Wellings give a thorough, self-contained account of how the Ada 
tasking model can be used to construct a wide range of concurrent and 
real-time systems. This is the only book that focuses on an in-depth 
discussion of the Ada tasking model. Following on from the authors' 
earlier title Concurrency in Ada, this book brings the discussion up to 
date to include the new Ada 2005 language and the recent advances in 
real-time programming techniques. It will be of value to software 
professionals and advanced students of programming alike: indeed every 
Ada programmer will find it essential reading and a primary reference 
work that will sit alongside the language reference manual.
