Course Description:
This is a seminar on real-time and embedded software systems. This course will apply the requirements, design, and development skills learned through the SWE curriculum to a real-time embedded software project. Along with the project, students will prepare individual term papers and conduct presentations on topics related to real-time embedded software.
Course Texts:
No text books are specifically required for this course. However, as SWE 621 is a prerequisite, students are expected to be familiar with
H. Gomaa, “Designing Concurrent, Distributed, and Real-Time Applications with UML”, Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series, 2000..
Course
As we explore topics in the areas related to real-time and embedded software, lecture notes, papers, links, and other citations will be available on the course web site.
Project Material:
The term project will use the Lego Mindstorms Robotics Invention System (RIS) 2.0. At a minimum, each group must purchase one of these systems. They are currently very difficult to find in stores, but online auctions/stores such as Ebay have a fair quantity of these systems available. Please insure that your system is the RIS 2.0 as earlier version will not work with the Java environment used for the project.
**
Note: I have been told that
HobbyTron.com has the RIS 2.0 in stock. ***
Grading:
Term Project 40%
Term Paper 30%
Presentation 30%
