PREREQUISITES
Imperative Programming.
COURSE AIM
The aim of the course is to give competence in the development of Real Time Systems, to discuss various models of synchronization and communication between concurrent processes in such systems, and to give some skills in low level programming for interaction with the "real world" via sensors and actuators.
CONTENTS
Concurrent Programming:
- a model of abstraction based on encapsulated processes
- models of synchronization and communication between processes such as message based communication, semaphores, and channels.
- mutual exclusion, deadlock and starvation
- classical problems such as the Readers Writers Problem and the Dining Philosophers Problem
Real Time Systems:
- interrupts, priorities and deadline requirements
- connections of external devices, embedded systems
- process scheduling and error handling
- the design of a real time kernel.
