Embedded and Real Time System Software ENSC 351 (4)
Concentrates on the problems encountered when attempting to use computers in real time (RT) and embedded applications where the computer system must discern the state of the real world and react to it within stringent response time constraints. Both design methodology and practical implementation techniques for RT systems are presented. Although some hardware will be involved, it should be noted that this course concentrates on real time software. Prerequisite: (CMPT 128 and ENSC 215 and ENSC 250) or ENSC 254, and a minimum of 60 credit units. Students who have taken ENSC 451/MSE 450 cannot take this course for further credit.
