Presentation of Optional Courses

Optional Courses

• First year students should take 1 optional course (9 ECTS)

• Second year students should take take 2 optional courses (9 + 6 ECTS)

• For first year students, it is highly advised to take the course in “Applied optics and propagation” (prof. Ciaramella)– especially for students with CS background– pre-requisite for the optional courses on optical communications

• Deadline: 26 September 2010 for informing us (mail to [email protected] and to the instructor) about the optional courses that you will attend

Embedded Systems Design

Embedded systems

Topic• An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed

to perform one or a few dedicated (control) functions, typically withcomputing (time, reliability ...) constraints derived from interactions withthe environment. It is usually embedded as part of a complete deviceincluding hardware and mechanical parts.

We will discuss• All stages in the development process: from requirements to

specifications to design (models) to code, testing and verification• How to define software models and how to work in a model-based

design flow– Bridging the gap between models and concurrent implementations in real-

time systems

• Conventional (hand-coded) as well as autocode generation techniques

Embedded systems

Theory will be supported by• Lab experience with embedded boards• Project work with

– Motion controller– Display controller– LCD Graphics controller with touchscreen– More (on request)

• Tools for the design, modeling, verification and code generation(Uppaal + Simulink)

Slides are available at http://retis.sssup.it/?q=node/62
