Short Abstract:
Introduction of basic concepts of critical embedded systems (CES) likes those used in cars, planes, and satellites. Analysis of the main requirements put on CES from performance guarantees to safety. Analysis of the main approaches for hardware design to fulfill those requirements with emphasis on the work done as part of the European Processor Initiative. Analysis of the main approaches for software design with emphasis on the software architecture of the Apollo autonomous driving software.
