Course Description
This course provides an overview of the unique concepts and techniques needed to design and implement
computer systems with real-time response requirements in an embedded environment. It contrasts the
concepts and techniques of real-time and embedded systems with those of traditional computer systems.
Topics include basic concepts of real-time and embedded systems, hardware features, sensors and actuators,
programming languages, real-time operating systems, cyclic and priority-based scheduling, concurrent
multitasking, time-sharing access to resources, real-time applications, fault-tolerance, deterministic
behavior, hardware/software integration, embedded systems synchronization techniques, performance
optimization, and current trends such as internet connectivity in real-time and embedded systems.
Course Objectives
The course provides students with opportunities to learn about major issues in real-time and embedded
systems. The objectives are:
1. To identify the major differences and design challenges for real-time and embedded systems
compared to traditional performance-based computing systems.
2. To understand and apply scheduling algorithms for real-time computing, including techniques to
evaluate worst-case delays and utilization bounds.
3. To apply model-driven development approaches to construct target execution environments for
simulation analysis and rapid prototyping, and to verify real-time requirements.
4. To evaluate, compare, and contrast different scheduling algorithms and real-time and embedded
kernel designs.
5. To apply knowledge of real-time and embedded system concepts to address open research
questions in the field.
