Lecture Material for "Real-Time Systems"

All material for this lecture is published on Moodle.

Laboratory and Lecture Schedule

Exam Terms

There is a single 90 minute exam at the end of the course. You may bring two DIN A4 sheets of paper and a pocket calculator with you.

You can write, copy or print whatever you like on the two sheets or four pages, as long as you can read it without any special device other than your regular glasses.
