This book assumes familiarity with threads (in a language such as
Ada, C#, or Java) and introduces the entity-life modeling
(ELM) design approach for certain kinds of multithreaded software.
ELM focuses on "reactive systems," which continuously interact with
the problem environment. These "reactive systems" include embedded
systems, as well as such interactive systems as cruise controllers
and automated teller machines.
Part I covers two fundamentals: program-language thread support and state diagramming. These are necessary for understanding ELM and are provided primarily for reference. Part II covers ELM from different angles. Part III positions ELM relative to other design approaches.
