Prerequisites - Part A
This course assumes a good mastering of the C language. A good understanding of software engineering principles, prior knowledge on mathematics, and aptitude to the formalization of concepts will largely help the comprehension of the topics covered in the course, but they are not prerequisites.
Teaching Methods - Part A
Lectures are given by presenting the course topics mainly through slides.
Lab sessions on real-time programming and c++ exercises are carried out by a teaching assistant (Dr Imad Zaza).
Lab sessions on real-time programming and c++ exercises are carried out by a teaching assistant (Dr Imad Zaza).

Students are invited to view the course page on Moodle (https://e-l.unifi.it) for more information.
Type of Assessment - Part A
The exam is aimed at assessing the theoretical and practical skills acquired on the course topics.
In the case of 9 credits, the exam consists in: the discussion of a small individually developed self-assignment plus an oral test on the contents of the course, OR the discussion of an assignment developed by an individual student or by a group of (typically two or three) students (in the latter case, please ensure that personal contributions to the work are clearly identifiable).
- Oral test with discussion of a self-assignment: send a short report on the assignment at least one week before the exam
- Discussion of an assignment: send an email to agree on the topic of the assignment
In the case of 6 credits, the examination method is the same as in the case of 9 credits, but it covers a subset of the contents of the course.
- Oral test with discussion of a self-assignment: send an email to agree on the exam topics; send a short report on the assignment at least one week before the exam
- Discussion of an assignment: send an email to agree on the topic of the assignment
