real-time operating systems, task mapping, hardware/software codesign,
compilers for embedded processors, low-power/low-energy software, real-time
scheduling, validation, machine vision.In an associated lab, students learn
specifying hierarchical state machines using StateMate and learn programming
Lego MindStorm robots. This course typically starts in early May, after
the arrival of Indian guest students. The course cam also be attended by
other guest students as well as regular students. For regular students,
it is counted as three hours (SWS) per week for the lectures and one hour
