Evaluation Scheme Objective

The course objective is to cover the principles of real-time and embedded systems inherent in many hardware platforms and applications being developed for engineering applications. As part of this course, students will learn about real-time and quality of service system principles, understand realtime operating systems and the resource management and quality of service issues that arise, and construct sample applications on representative platforms.
