Course plan
No of lectures
24 h
Recommended for
Graduate students in Computer Science and Computer Systems
The course was last given
The course has ceratin overlapping with the CUGS course on Real-Time and Embeddded Systems
Goals
The objective of the course is to present techniques for the
concurrent design, or co-design, of embedded systems that are
dedicated to specific applications and consist of tightly coupled
hardware and software components. It will discuss modern design
methodologies with an emphasis on early design phases, not covered by
traditional methods, including modeling, verification and system-level
synthesis. It will also discusses the topics of embedded real-time
systems, and power related issues at the system level.
Prerequisites
Organization
The course will be given in intensive forms in order to make
it easy for external students from other universities to attend.
The schedule will be coordinated with the ARTES++ graduate school.
