Most computer systems do not sit on desks but are inside machine such as cars and medical devices. The aim of this module is to introduce students to the techniques most commonly use in industrial practice for the analysis and development of real-time and critical systems and the theory behind them. The module builds on undergraduate knowledge of operating systems and software engineering and it encompasses both aspects of real-time system development and of critical system analysis. Though these topics are not necessarily linked (not all real-time systems are critical), some understanding of real-time / embedded systems provides context for the study techniques used for critical systems.
