Real-Time Systems 2 (WS25/26)

General Course Information:

The real-time systems 2 course covers more in depth details of real-time systems issues, covered in the previous course, real-time systems 1, as well as additional topics, including:

• Scheduling theory
  • Aperiodic task scheduling
  • Flexibility for time-triggered scheduling
  • Schedulability analyses
  • Scheduling in Multicore systems
• Worst-Case Execution Time analyses
• Architectures for safety-critical real-time system
• Resource management and overload handling
• Real-time networks
• Brief information about related projects going on at the department.
   

Literature

Unfortunately, there is no single book covering the entire area in a satisfying way. Moreover, the existing books are quite expensive, so I do not recommend buying them.

Most of the research presented can be found as published research articles.

One good book that covers most of the aperiodic scheduling algorithms is "Hard Real-Time Computing Systems: Predictable Scheduling Algorithms and Applications". Giorgio Buttazzo, Note that a 4th edition came out recently with minor modifications.
