General talk about software patterns

["Pont, Michael J." <michael.pont AT tesco.net>]

Dear Pattern people,

Some of you may be aware of my book "Patterns for Time-Triggered Embedded 
Systems".  This book (originally published in 2001) describes a pattern 
language (which is, in my view, reasonably complete) for creating reliable 
embedded systems.

Following an agreement with the publisher (a polite way of saying that the 
book is out of print), you can now download copies - free of charge - from 
the following WWW site:

http://www.tte-systems.com/pttes.php

Over the coming months, my aim is to annotate this book (later thoughts on 
the "core patterns" in this collection, etc).

Anyone wishing to add this book to pattern collections is welcome to do so.

Best wishes,

Michael.
