Reviews for The Case of the Elevator Duck

... I like this book and recommend it as an introductory material for real-time systems courses. It is addressed both to students of engineering and to practising engineers, and certainly meets its goals in presenting a comprehensive view of real-time systems, dealing with all major aspects of their design and implementation. Janusz Zalewski A Journal of IFAC, 1993
