SYSE 595: Hardware Software Integration (4 credits)
John Blyler 

Systems Engineering is applied to the integration of hardware-software systems, focusing on embedded computer products development and information technology systems. Factors that affect the selection of hardware and software solutions in design will be examined, as well as the use of trade studies to optimize the efficiency of integration issues. Techniques for partitioning of system-level functions and requirements to hardware/software components will be provided, as will practical guidance, through case studies, process templates and design check-lists. Prerequisite: Basic understanding of hardware and software development. For more details, see course Syllabus; visit John's Blog, http://www.chipdesignmag.com/blyler/; and check-out a presentation John made at Embedded Systems Conference.
