  Advancement level (A-D): C

Aim:
To understand the issues involved, methods and structuring mechanisms for design and implementation of realtime systems.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Concurrent Programming and Operating Systems

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Embedded system simulation and verification

Organisation:
The theory is presented on the lectures. Seminars practice the presented material and prepare for the laboratory assignments.

Course contents:
Introduction to real-time systems. Resource allocation and in particular allocation of CPU as a resource (scheduling). Algorithms for static and dynamic scheduling: cyclic executive, rate-monotonic, earliest deadline first. Deadlock related problems in a real-time context and ceiling protocols for management of multiple resources. Overview of real-time operating systems. Dependability and its implications in real-time system development, fault tolerance, and exception handling.Interaction between resource allocation and performance demands in different applications, e.g. real-time databases and network-based systems' quality of service (QoS). Design and application modelling in real-time systems. Distributed real-time systems.

Course literature:
