KTI/CTI project A2

Development of a generic, programmable industry PC for complex control tasks in reliability critical applications

An industry PC for complex control tasks based on the existing ultra-compact ETHZ Oberon systems is to be developed where we aim at 100 % reliability and maintainability by a single person. Challenges are the combination of full runtime support (including garbage collection) and real-time requirements, the development of a suitable programming framework and the communicative compatibility with well-established industry systems.
