Each group will study one of the operating systems in the below table where H = link to homepage and W = link to Wikipedia.
| Group | Case | Operating system | Description | H | W |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | 1 | VxWorks | VxWorks is a real-time operating system (RTOS) designed for use in embedded systems requiring real-time, deterministic performance and, in many cases, safety and security certification, for industries, such as aerospace and defense, medical devices, industrial equipment, robotics, energy, transportation, network infrastructure, automotive, and consumer electronics. | H | W |
| B | 2 | Contiki | Contiki is an operating system for networked, memory-constrained systems with a focus on low-power wireless Internet of Things devices. Extant uses for Contiki include systems for street lighting, sound monitoring for smart cities, radiation monitoring, and alarms. It is open-source software released under a BSD license. | H | W |
In the below schedule you can see which case your group have been assigned. Note that you should be present no only during your groups presentation but for all presentations in the same block as your presentation. In the table you can also see for which group you will act as opponents.
This is just a suggestion for topics to include in your presentation and you may choose to exclude or rearrange parts of the list and/or include other topics you find relevant in the context of your case study.
The links in this section should only be seen as a starting point and part of the case study group assignment is to search for more information.
VxWorks is a real-time operating system (RTOS) developed as proprietary software by Wind River of Alameda, California, US. First released in 1987, VxWorks is designed for use in embedded systems requiring real-time, deterministic performance and, in many cases, safety and security certification, for industries, such as aerospace and defense, medical devices, industrial equipment, robotics, energy, transportation, network infrastructure, automotive, and consumer electronics.
Contiki is an operating system for networked, memory-constrained systems with a focus on low-power wireless Internet of Things devices. Extant uses for Contiki include systems for street lighting, sound monitoring for smart cities, radiation monitoring, and alarms. It is open-source software released under a BSD license.
