This book provides an overview of both experimental and commercial real-time database systems (RTDBs) and a systematic approach to understanding, designing, and implementing them.

To this end, the book is composed of four chapters: Chapter 1 An Overview of Real-Time Database Systems delves into the realm of RTDBs and discusses the specific requirements, transaction models, and scheduling algorithms that set RTDBs apart from conventional DBMs. Chapter 2 on Experimental Real-Time Databases presents various experimental RTDBs developed in academia with their architectures, features, and implementations, while chapter 3 on Commercial Real-Time Databases does so for systems developed and offered by commercial vendors as products or services. Eventually, chapter 4 on Applications of Real-Time Database Systems showcases various applications of RTDBs across different domains.

This book will help researchers, graduate students and advanced professionals to get anoverview of the area and to understand the main challenges and systems available.

Autorentext
Susana Ortega-Cisneros received her BSc degree in communications and electronics from the Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara, México, in 1990, the MSc degree from the Center for Research and Advanced Studies (CINVESTAV), México City, México, and the PhD degree in computer science and telecommunications from the Autonomous University of Madrid, Spain. She is currently with CINVESTAV and specializes in the design of digital architectures based on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), DSPs, and microprocessors. Emilio Isaac Baungarten Leon has been a professor at Universidad Autónoma de Guadalajara for five years and has been working with Susana Ortega-Cisneros since 2019. He has authored multiple journal and conference papers and has several years of expertise and hands-on experience with OpenLane and Caravel. Pedro Mejia-Alvarez received his BSc degree in computer systems from ITESM, Querétaro, Mexico, in 1985, his PhD degree in Informatics from the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain, in 1995. He pursued his PostDoc Research at the Computer Science Department of the University of Pittsburgh in 1999-2000. He has been a Professor with the CINVESTAV-Guadalajara since 1997. His research interests include Real-Time Systems, Software Testing and Software Engineering. In his early career, he was involved the development of a 16-processor computing system for Mexico's National Electrical Industry to automate SCADA systems—both hardware (Intel-based) and software.
