Introduction to Real-Time Systems (edX)

Offered by IEEE,
Introduction to Real-Time Systems (edX)

Learn how to design and build real-time systems. This computer science course provides an overview on designing and analyzing real-time operating systems (RTOS). Found in most mission critical and infrastructure systems, real-time systems are both challenging and rewarding to build. Derived from the course instructor’s ground-breaking text on the subject, learn about real-time systems from one of the leading educators in the field.

Real-Time Mission-Critical Systems Design (Coursera)

Upon completion of this course the learner will know the difference between systems you can bet your life on (mission critical) and those which provide predictable response and quality of service (reliable). This will be achieved not only by study of design methods and patterns for mission critical systems, but also through implementation of soft real-time systems and comparison to hard real-time. Methods of verification to determine ability to meet mission critical as well as soft real-time requirements will be learned so that the learner can properly assess risk, reliability and impact of failure in real-time systems.
