Our next short 5-day short course is entitled “Programming techniques for reliable embedded systems”.

Places are available on this course from 9-13 February 09 in Leicester, UK.

We are making the following introductory offer:

• This 5-day course will cost you just £500 + VAT (normal price £1095 + VAT).
• During 10 detailed seminars (taught by Dr. Michael Short, a highly-experienced Lecturer from the Embedded Systems Laboratory, University of Leicester) you will learn how to use the C programming language to create reliable embedded systems: the module includes coverage of MISRA C (and some comparisons with MISRA C++), plus effective use of watchdog timers, and techniques for data duplication (to improve system performance in the event of electromagnetic interference).
• Includes an introduction to time-triggered software architectures.
• It’s not all theory! In addition to the seminars, the course also includes a series of laboratory classes where you can develop and test your skills. To support work in the labs, you will receive a full permanent licence for RapidiTTy™ x86 as part of your registration fee for the module.
• After the course, you will have up to two months to register for the complete MSc programme in Reliable Embedded Systems (if you wish): if you sign up for the MSc, we’ll refund the cost of your first module.

A course brochure is available.
