COURSE DESCRIPTION

Over the past few years, the design complexity of safety critical real time embedded computing systems has increased immensely.

Real time tasks have to compete for available computer resources. Single dedicated processor is no longer available for the real time

tasks to execute. Trend has now shifted from federated architecture towards integrated architecture. The primary objective of this

course is to understand the industrial needs of safety critical real time embedded systems and provide optimal solution using state of

the art tools under pressures and constraints including performance, cost, size, time to market, power etc.

Course Learning Outcomes (CLOs) EE-

CLO1: CLO2: CLO3: CLO4:

CLO5: CLO6: CLO7:

Identify the real time task characterctics in terms of task criticality and timing constraints. Understand the industrial standards of software and hardware development. Define the safety parameters for real time embedded computing system at software level. Integrate the fault tolerant schemes with embedded computing system. Analyze the schedulability of traditional real time scheduling algorithms. Implement the safety integrity level, performance level at software level to attain certain level dependability. Design and analyze the safety requirements for the reliable distributed embedded computing system, e.g. CAN, FlexRay.
