Dependability issues for a curriculum in real-time systems

Abstract

This paper develops the dependability issues addressed by the new educational program named 'Real-Time and Systems' of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at INSAT (National Institute of Applied Sciences of Toulouse). Engineers working in the field of embedded systems have to cope with process control and real-time computing. We show how this new curriculum integrates both aspects with the aim of mastering the development of dependable real-time systems.
