Abstract | Computer systems for controlling industrial devices are called embedded systems (ES). Specifically the following topics will be covered: Design methodology, software design, real-time scheduling and operating systems, architectures, distributed embedded systems, low-power and low-energy design, architecture synthesis. | ||||
Objective | Introduction to industrial applications of computer systems; understanding specific requirements and problems arising in such applications. The focus of this lecture is on the implementation of embedded systems using formal methods and computer-based synthesis methods. | ||||
Content | Computer systems for controlling industrial devices are called embedded systems (ES). ES not only have to react to random events in their environment in a timely manner, they also have to calculate control values from continuous sequences of measurements. Embedded computer systems are connected to their environment though sensors and actors. The great interest in the systematic design of heterogeneous reactive systems is caused by the growing diversity and complexity of applications for ES, the requirement for low development and testing costs, and by progress in key technologies. Specifically the following topics will be covered: Design methodology, software design, real-time scheduling and operating systems, architectures, distributed embedded systems, low-power and low-energy design, architecture synthesis.
