Advanced Course: "Design of Safety-Critical Systems and Software"
This course is for embedded systems and software engineers involved in developing
systems in which faults or failures could threaten human life or injury. Such safety-critical
systems must mitigate threats to patients, operators, users, passersby and the environment.

The competitive pressure-cooker environment in embedded device development industries nowadays does
not allow a software development team to take weeks or months off from work to update their technical skills
and knowledge. At the same time, universities are not producing new software developers with the
specialized techniques and education that are needed in industry. As a result, many 21st Century embedded
devices are still being developed by development teams with only 20th Century skills.
The solution: Short 2- or 3- day courses that can be delivered at your company site, at appropriate points in
the professional development of your embedded software and systems engineering teams.
For your new-hires straight out of university or technology institute, our course "Introduction to Embedded
Systems and Software" fills in the information gaps about embedded work in industry that are often not taught
at school. For your engineers who are beginning to work with real-time operating systems, or with a specific
real-time operating system, our course "Introduction to Real-Time Operating Systems" brings them up to
speed in a matter of days.
Engineers deep into a development project, or those involved in embedded software maintenance, will
appreciate the tips and techniques provided in our "Debugging Real-Time Software" class. While engineers
who have several years of embedded experience behind them, and are looking to climb to the next rung on
their professional ladder, will delight in the new perspectives they'll see in the advanced course "Architectural
Design of Real-Time Software".
Further specialized advanced courses are available for technical departments and project teams with the
need for specifically focused technical expertise, for immediate problem-solving or for staying at the leading
edge of new technology. Courses for them cover specialized areas such as: embedded device driver design,
high availability systems, safety-critical systems, distributed systems and multi-core multiprocessing.
