I also recommend a new book by Dan Roy along with a co-author named Loic.
Unfortunately,
my copy of the book is not at this office at the moment.  The book has a title
that reflects its
attention to hard-deadline, real-time software and many of the examples are in
Ada.  Also, they
focus heavily on the scheduling issues addressed by RMA/RMS.   Good theoretical
treatment
with lots of practical examples.

Aha.  Found a bibliographic reference to it:

                           Briand, Lo�c P. and   Roy, Daniel M.,
                           Meeting Deadlines in Hard Real-Time Systems,
                           IEEE Computer Society Press,  ISBN 0-8186-7406-7

Also, anything written by Alan Burns and/or Andy Wellings would be useful.
