Introduction to Time-Critical Systems

This intensive course introduces the fundamentals of real-time software based systems and their development. The course covers the characteristics of a system that lead to its classification as real-time, and describes the specific techniques and structures available to the software developer to ensure the system meets the applicable performance, reliability and other criteria.

PARTICIPANTS

PREREQUISITES

Delegates should have practical experience of general software development, including design and coding.

OBJECTIVES

On completion of the course, delegates will be able to-

Describe the typical characteristics of systems classified as real-time.
Describe the architectural elements frequently used in the construction of real-time systems.
Identify the typical scope of test cases needed to test the real-time characteristics of a system.
Make trade-offs between space-related and time-related aspects of the software structure.
Identify the different types of buffer available to the designer.
