  • Medical Safety Critical Design Patterns

    One of the most active areas in the research and practice of modern systems development is in the identification and reification of design patterns. A design pattern is a generalized solution to a commonly recurring problem. Although a number of books, as well as active newsgroups and websites, are available on the topic, little information is available for design patterns specific to the real-time embedded systems world and especially for safety-critical design. This presentation, taught by the author of “Real-Time Design Patterns: Robust Scalable Architectures for Real-Time Systems” discusses architectural design patterns specific to safety-critical systems.
