Introduction to the Class Projectand Computing Facilities

CSCI 599 – Software Engineering for Embedded Systems

September 3, 2002

Class Project Logistics• 10 teams of 3 students• 1 PocketPC per student

– wireless support– NexiCams (as needed)– keyboards (as needed)– YBIYBI

• Prism-MW– Java – EVC++

• Prism-DE if desired• DRADEL if desired

Embedded Systems Lab• Located in KAP 103• 12 Windows machines

– JDK– MS Visual Studio– MS Office– ethernet connections– wireless setup

• Use for the class only!– combination lock to the Lab– each student must read the USC Ethics Code– will be required to sign a declaration of fair use– the Lab will be checked periodically after-hours

Assigning Project Teams

• You may form 3-person teams– no exceptions unless class size is not a multiple of 3

• Mail me and the TA– team name (optional)– team member names– team member USC ID numbers

• Otherwise, you will be assigned to a team during Week 4

Project Details

• To be discussed in class during Week 4

• Will rely on the principles of software architecture

• Will leverage Prism

• Will require substantial design and implementation

• Will be fun!
