Real-time Systems

Catalog description

This course introduces students to software design and development of real time distributed systems. Real-time applications include flight control systems, vehicle control systems, industrial processes, life-support systems, robotic manipulators, and multimedia applications. Special attention is paid to scheduling, latency minimization, bandwidth constraints, and other design issues that impact the design of these systems. Team based laboratory assignments provide experience in the design and implementation of realistic applications using a real-time operating system, cross compilation, and embedded development boards.
