Directed Studies: Functional Safety for Embedded Systems

Schedule

Course (Prof. Dr. Stefan Leue)
Wednesday 10:00 - 11:30 Room: PZ 902 ( instead of room PZ 801)
Tutorial (Martin Kölbl)
Thursday 11:45 - 13:15 Room: PZ 912 (instead of room PZ 801)

Prerequesites

Bachelor level knowledge of operating systems, distributed systems, software engineering and theory.

This directed studies course will introduce into the areas of embedded systems and functional safety engineering for those systems. Selected topics from these areas will be discussed and presented by participants on a weekly basis. Lectures will be accompanied by a tutorial.

Learning objectives

Participants of this course will be enabled to understand and assess methods used in the design of safe embedded systems. This will enable them to employ adequate techniques in practical system engineering projects. Participants will also learn to acquire technical knowledge from textbook sources and to present this knowledge to their peers.
