Schedule

CIS 890: Development of High-Assurance Software Systems, Spring 2019

Week 1: January 21

Lectures:

  • Course Administration
  • System Theory and Control Loop Concepts (lecture link)
  • Control Loop Examples

Homework (and tool installation):

  • Setting up the STM32 Development Tools

    This assignment will guide you through the process of setting up the development tools for programming applications directly in FreeRTOS on the STMF4 discovery boards. Due January 28, 11:59pm

Week 2: January 28

Lectures:

  • Slang Embedded Development Overview (lecture link)
  • Introduction to Arduino

Homework:

  • Setting up the Slang Embedded Development Environment

    This assignment covers the basics of translating from AADL to Slang, implementing component behaviors in Slang, and then running the Slang system in a JVM. It uses the system modeling framework (OSATE/AADL) that we will use to begin modeling on projects in a few weeks after we have some lectures introducing more of the details of AADL. Due February 7, 11:59pm

Week 3: February 4

Lectures:

  • AADL Overview
  • Slang Embedded Development

Homework:

  • Prototyping the Temperature Controller Circuit with Arduino

    In this assignment, you will build and test a simple circuit to simulate the hardware of the temperature controller example. We’ve already a lot of this work in class already. The main point is to build the circuit with the red LED (to simulate the heater/fan) and the potentiometer (to simulate the temperature sensor). You will then test each component individually, then create a simple program to simulate the logic of temperature controller example. Due February 14, 11:59pm

Week 4: February 11

Lectures:

  • Slang Embedded Development (continued)

Homework:

  • Slang Embedded 02 – creating components

    In this assignment, you will learn more about using the Slang Embedded modeling and development that we will use later in the course to build our high-assurance embedded systems. This homework focuses on helping you design an interface for a new component in AADL, generate interface code for the component, and program the business logic for the component. Due Friday, February 22, 11:59pm

Notes:

  • Dr. Hatcliff traveling to AADL committee meeting and demo

Week 5: February 18

Lectures:
