System theory (2010/2011)

Teaching is organised as follows:

Educational objectives

Module: SISTEMI A EVENTI DISCRETI
-------
An introduction to advanced methodologies for the specification
and design of hardware and software systems.
Such systems include heterogeneous and concurrent components defined at different levels of abstraction, to be implemented in hardware and software;
they must satisfy functional and real time constraints, and may interact with physical systems (cyperphysical systems).
This class discusses the most important specification languages for hardware, software and networked systems.


Module: SISTEMI E SEGNALI
