Abstract

An approach to teaching realtime system design and programming is described which provides an understanding of realtime applications in terms of interacting tasks and modules sharing common resources. Emphasis is on the design and specification of the realtime system along with detailed testing and verification of the resulting concurrent programs. Programming is done on personal computers using a realtime operating system and an event tracing facility which supports both detailed execution tracing as well as "action" routines which can force occurrence of time critical events for testing.
