Abstract
A noteworthy feature of the computing industry is the increasing demand for application-specific software. For example, software to control a factory in real-time involves timing, fault-tolerance, and safety constraints. These requirements differ from those one would encounter in the design of a software interface to a database. Software engineers who architect real-time systems need to know how to apply basic principles about real-time computing, but there is a gap between real-time computing theory and industrial engineering practice. The subject of this report is a full-semester course, Introduction to Real-Time Software and Systems, which bridges this gap by focusing on the role of the software engineer in real-time software development. This course shows how real-time computing theory can be incorporated into software engineering practice. The report describes the rationale, structure, and content of the course. It also relates the author's experiences in teaching the course.
