When a real-time system is designed as an embedded component, it is called a real-time embedded system. Real-time embedded systems are widespread in consumer, industrial, medical, and military applications.

As more and more of our daily life depends on embedded technologies, the demand for engineers with the skill set for the development of real-time embedded software has soared in recent years. As a consequence, preparing ...
