Outline of lecture

The primary objective of this course is to introduce the state of the art in operating systems and related technologies.
Topics are chosen from: Operating Systems for Embedded / Real-time Systems, Distributed OS and Middlewares, Virtual Execution Environment, System-Level Security Mechanisms, System Description Languages, Formal Approaches to System Software, etc.
This year, we focus on the foundations of real-time systems and real-time operating systems.

Purpose of lecture

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the theoretical foundations of real-time systems and technologies in real-time operating systems.
