HOMEPAGE ZUM SEMINAR EMBEDDED AND CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEMS IM WS 2014

 

 

OVERVIEW

Embedded and Cyber-Physical Systems have replaced traditionally human-operated systems. They have appeared in many applications, such as avionic control systems, automotive electronics, industrial automation, and robotics. Designing dependable embedded and cyber-physical systems efficiently and effectively has been an important subject with high impact on daily lifes and human society.

There will be several categoried options, offered by Prof. Chen. You can also select your own options of literatures, under the approval by Prof. Chen
