Course Outline

The course concentrates on the design of modelling, implementation, and validation of digital system. The course contains a considerable laboratory component where students design a rather complex digital system.

Topics

  • Introduction to embedded systems Chapter 1 of the textbook
  • Modelling continuous and discrete systems Chapters 2 and 3 of the textbook
  • Hybrid systems and composition of state machines Chapters 4 and 5 of the textbook
  • Concurrent models of computations Chapter 6 of the textbook
  • Design of digital systems Lectures notes and assigned references
  • Sensors and actuators Chapter 7 of the textbook
  • Testing and validation of digital systems parts (rather small parts) of chapters 13-17 and external resources

Course Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, students should be able to

  • Model different systems using the appropriate modelling technique
  • Design and implement digital systems from specifications
  • Test and validate the proposed digital system
