overview of real-time systems

This is a tome. It gives a very interesting overview
of real-time technology. Too bad it doesn't include
Erlang, but it's still quite an interesting read.
The emphasis seems to be towards hard real-time, so
this may help explain why Erlang is missing.

See e.g. chapter 6 (slides 415-541) on synchronization.
