Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
Basic concepts, scheduling, fault tolerance, real-time operating systems, real-time programming languages, case-tools, clocks, concurrency and communication, fieldbus, applications, secure systems; Special hardware, control engineering, fuzzy-control, reliability.
Learning Outcome
At the end of this module students are able to analyse the specific requirements of real-time systems. They are able to select from a variety of possible solutions based on relevant aspects, such as modeling concepts, scheduling algorithms, operating systems, programming languages, etc. They understand typical problems with cuncurrent programming and are familiar with different mechanisms to overcome these problems.

Learning and Teaching Methods
The module consists of a lecture, an exercise and tasks for self-study. The contents of the lecture are conveyed in the lecture and through presentations. Students are encouraged to deal with the content of the topics through small tasks set in the course of the lectures, as well as by solving exercise sheets. The solution to the exercises is discussed in the exercise.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The examination is carried out in the form of a 90-minute written exam. This is intended to demonstrate that specific problems of real-time systems have been understood and can be solved through the use of suitable algorithms and simulations.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
