FYS9220 - Real time and embedded data systems
Course content
Computer technology is integrated in almost all products, from industrial control systems to mobile communication and household machines. The course gives an overview of key issues for the construction and verification of Real-Time / Embedded systems. Keywords: Real-Time operations and Real-Time Operating Systems, concurrent processes, process-to-process communication and synchronization, signals and exception handling, resource allocation, languages, software, requirement specification, instrumentation, interconnect technologies, processor technology, design and development of programmable logic, test- and fault tolerance, fault prevention and reliability, signal processing.
Learning outcome
Design and implementation of Real-Time and embedded systems, through lectures and practical lab exercises. Around half of the course is devoted to development of programmable logic (FPGA/VHDL) for embedded systems.
Admission
PhD candidates from the University of Oslo should apply for classes and register for examinations through Studentweb.
If a course has limited intake capacity, priority will be given to PhD candidates who follow an individual education plan where this particular course is included. Some national researchers’ schools may have specific rules for ranking applicants for courses with limited intake capacity.
PhD candidates who have been admitted to another higher education institution must apply for a position as a visiting student within a given deadline.
