Objective

After completing the course the student masters in practice the technique needed to implement real-time and embedded software systems using operating system services via the operating system calls and library functions. He/she can develop systems that consist of multiple communicating processes or threads. The student can design and implement real-time applications that work in a reliable way so that all timing combinations of different asynchronous events that could cause problems are taken into consideration.
