Overview:   Embedded systems run the computing devices hidden inside a vast array of everyday products and appliances such as cell phones, toys, handheld PDAs, cameras, and microwave ovens. Cars are full of them, as are airplanes, satellites, and advanced military and medical equipments. As applications grow increasingly complex, so do the complexities of the embedded computing devices. The goal of this course is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the technologies behind the embedded systems design. The students develop an appreciation of the existing capabilities and limitations of various steps in overall design methodology including system level modeling/specification, design space exploration, hardware-software partitioning, high level synthesis(hardware/software/interface), and validation/verification of embedded systems. See course outline for details.

Prerequisites: CDA 3101 (Computer Organization), COP 3530 (Data Structures and Algorithms), and programming knowledge is required. Knowledge of COP 4600 (Operating Systems) and CDA 4102/5155 (Computer Architecture) is helpful but not required.

Grading Criteria: See Course Policies.
