Syllabus:

Real-Time Systems are now being used almost everywhere. In the context, this
course addresses some basic issues that are necessary to develop and understand real-time
system. The specific issues addressed are scheduling real-time tasks, Resource-sharing
issues among real-time tasks, scheduling real-time tasks in multiprocessor and distributed
systems, commercial real-time operating systems, real-time communication, and real-time
databases.
