Ac 2008-1359: A Common Us-Europe Curriculum: An Approach for Real-Time Software Intensive Systems

With the increasing importance and demand for efficient development of high quality Real-Time Software-Intensive Control systems (RSIC), the education of modern engineers it is critical. RSIC systems need to meet stringent safety and reliability requirements and often are developed by companies operating across national boundaries. This paper describes an approach and preliminary results of research leading to establishment of a framework for creation of multinational, engineering programs, which will produce graduates capable of working efficiently in multidisciplinary teams engaged in international collaboration on industrial RSIC projects. The emphasis is on projects which require conformance to specific national and international standards mandated by regulatory authorities. A key element of the framework is the identification of appropriate educational objectives and outcomes for the program based on industry surveys and the analysis of accreditation criteria. The proposed RSIC...

Real-time software-intensive systems engineering: An international perspective

2009

This paper provides an overview and a comparison of several international projects which focus on research and development of international computing curricula. The projects address computer based systems in general and more specifically the area of real-time software intensive control systems. Issues related to the analysis, design, implementation and assessment of such curricula are discussed. The paper also deals with the exchange of students and faculty between international academic institutions.

Addressing Software Engineering Issues in Real-Time Software Development Environment

West African Journal of Industrial and Academic Research, 2014

Real-time systems are normally deployed in a wide range of applications such as transportation systems, manufacturing process, process control, military, space exploration, and telecommunications. These systems must satisfy not only logical functional requirements but also physical properties such as timeliness, Quality of Service and reliability. The cross-cutting behaviours imposed by these functional properties and dependencies on operational characteristics such as hardware, Operating System and firmware platforms that are used; have traditionally led to hard-to-code, hard-to-understand and hard-to-change software that are engineered. In this research paper we have identified few software engineering issues in the development of real time systems and provided brief description of each of those issues and strived to make serious effort to proffer creditable and functional solutions. Key Words : Real time systems, logical functional requirements, Quality of Service, Reliability, ...
