Control systems: Logic in different representations, programmable logic controllers (PLC) practical exercise: examples programmed on an emulator and a real PLC possibly: communcation of PLC's with a supervisory control system Programming of applications and of a device driver using the distributed real time operating system QNX. Programming of a server process and a corresponding client.

Oral Exam

Some programming experience is beneficial, but not required.
