REAL-TIME COMPUTING SYSTEMS

3 credits.

Introduction to the unique issues in the design and analysis of computer systems for real-time applications. Hardware and software support for guaranteeing timeliness with and without failures. Resource management, time-constrained communication, scheduling and imprecise computations, real-time kernels and case studies. Students are strongly encouraged to have knowledge of computer architecture (e.g., E C E/COMP SCI 552 ) and operating system functions (e.g., COMP SCI 537 )
