It introduces the taking/threading support in Ada and Java (including real-time Java) and presents Entity-Life Modeling, which is an intuitive design approach. With Entity-life modeling, you pattern threads on event threads in the problem domain much as an object-oriented program is patterned on objects in the problem domain. Chapters: 1. Introduction 2. Support for multithreading (Ada, Java and Pthreads) 3. State modeling (general introduction of state machine modeling) 4. Entity-life modeling 5. State-machine activity patterns 6. Resource sharing 7. Simultaneous exclusive access to multiple resources 8. Real-time software architectures. Data-flow design approaches 9. The origins of entity-life modeling This is a complete "beta" version. Feedback is highly appreciated. Bo Sanden
