Query: Thoughts on Real-Time Systems

I am a grad student and recently read through most of this book. I enjoyed the time that I invested. The book is readable and provides a thorough expose of the issues that I wanted to learn in order to continue with my research. The book is well organized, the front part does a good job describing the concepts that are needed to understand the rest of the book, and most of the book discusses subjects other than OS. I liked the cross-references that were provided to earlier sections and chapters, so that as I read the book over several weeks, I could refresh my memory about something that I had gone over earlier and tie things together. The illustrations are well conceived and helpful. There are a few typos in the English version that the editor should have caught, but they don't interfere with the book's readability or its worth. I recommend this book.
