| One of the more interesting, challenging, and exciting areas of computing, and widely
overlooked by students, is embedded computing, and especially real-time embedded computing.
Remarkable adaptive, versatile, powerful, and economically viable, it provides critical
foundations for evolving technologyfor how people live work and play. Transformations in
societal infrastructures depend upon innovative applicatios of real-time embedded systems.
Design and programing of embedded systems is quite different from general purpose computing
system design. The real-time constraints impossed by environmental inputs, and the critical
demands of precise monitoring and controlling, require require use of different paradigms,
models, tools, and techniques. We will examine these differences and begin to develop
expertise in the art and science of embedded system design.
Catolog Description: An examination of particular theory and practice in designing software
embedded in electronic devices and controllers. Includes clocks, threads, multitasking,
critical sections, monitors, scheduling, on chip and external device interfacing, communications,
and fault tolerance. Prerequisite: TCSS 422; may not be repeated after achieving minimum grade of
2.0. |
