Aim
The course aims to provide an understanding of methodologies and modern tools for modeling of advanced electronic systems. The course introduces various "Models of Computation" and how to choose them based on various characteristics and subsystems and on how closely the temporal dimension is described by the model. Other important concepts are "communications" and "estimate", and how and why these are described separately in a model system. Practical application is part of the course.
Course objectives
At the end of this course student should know how
- designs can be formulated for efficient implementation
- embedded system modules are executed
- data is exchanged between embedded system modules
Content
The course cover the following areas
1. Introduction, design and modelling of embedded systems
2. Models of Computation (MoC)
3. Function and parallelism
4. Un-timed and timed model of computation
5. Communication Interfaces
