Valuable resource
I read this book and using it in one of my courses. This book covers almost all aspects of resource management in networks and real-time systems. I feel it is a wonderful resouce for people working in this area.

Diverse rather than comprehensive
When you start reading, you will find the authors have used too much space in this book to introduce the papers they published. They describe their own papers in such details such that even performance evaluations are included! On the other hand, the architecture of the book is rather incomplete possibly because the author want to cover too many areas: multiprocessor, distributed system (including Object-Oriented) and networking. The content in each part is not comprehensive enough, either. The works of other peoples are not presented in detail or analyzed.However, to be fair, this book does address some issues not present in other books, including objected-oriented distributed systems, detailed scheduling in real-time communications and two case studies, which I like.

An excellent book that covers all about RT Systems and N/Ws
The book covers an amazing amount of literature right from task scheduling, resource management to real-time communication. Its introduction to Real-Time Computing itself speaks for it, giving an overall view of a real-time system and clarifies the common misconceptions about real-time systems.
The book is clearly divided into two subdivisions: one covering the resource management in real-time systems (covering process scheduling, resource reclaiming, object-based RT systems) and the other section covering resource management in real-time networks. The depth of information covered in Real-Time Networks can be rarely found in anyother Real-Time book.
The book covers all the relevant literature in the respective fields (from basic to the recent publications), thus can serve as a great reference book for Real-Time Systems.
If you're a beginner in Real-Time Systems, it is a great book to start with, if you're an expert it can be a great reference tool.
As a student doing research in Real-Time Systems, I recommend this book for everyone interested in learning Real-Time Systems.
