For many computer systems, particularly for embedded systems, correct real
time behavior is fundamental. Examples of applications that require real time
computing include air traffic control, robotics, nuclear power plants, railway
switching systems. This course overviews the area of real time systems with a
focus on three topics: real time programming languages, real time scheduling,
and formal verification of real time systems. Lectures are acompanied with lab
sessions during which students can get hands-on experience with the discussed
topics.
