Module: Teoria
-------
The course will first provide an overview of embedded distributed systems, ranging from multicore platforms for media gateways to sensor networks for automotive, industrial applications and for personal and environmental monitoring. Then, it will concentrate on the issues of scalability of applications, load balancing, and communication efficiency. For each of these issues the strategies adopted to provide a suitable quality of service level and to match real-time requirements at the level of compiler, operating system and communication libraries will be explored.
Module: Laboratorio
-------
The purpose of Lab classes is to give students some pratictal instruments to configure, control and optimize software of distributed embedded systems
