2. Pre-Requisites
This course builds on the skills and knowledge acquired in the subjects:
Programming Fundamentals I
Programming Fundamentals II
Operating Systems I.
The subject Operating Systems I is the most important prerequisite, since in her the basics of operating systems are studied, the process model, memory management systems or input / output and files.
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
The Real Time and Concurrent Programming course is a compulsory subject of the Degree in Computer Engineering and its justification is directly linked to the evolution of operating systems, particularly the concepts of multithreading and multiprocessor. In this context, the student must know and master the basic techniques of management of racing conditions, such as synchronization and communication mechanisms between processes. Also, programming for real-time systems is another key aspect to obtain the skills necessary to design and implement this type of critical systems that are part of our daily lives.
In the professional market, a graduate must ensure some knowledge on concurrent and real-time scheduling, taking particular account of market developments processors and processing systems in general, which show a clear trend of multiprocessing .

8. Evaluation criteria and Grading System
| Grading System | |||
| Evaluation System | Face-to-Face | Self-Study Student | Description |
| Practicum and practical activities reports assessment | 25.00% | 0.00% | |
| Final test | 65.00% | 0.00% | |
| Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 10.00% | 0.00% | |
| Total: | 100.00% | 0.00% | |
Evaluation criteria for the final exam:
The score of the regular exam session is the total score. The mark of the final exam could be replaced totally or partially by midterm exams in lecturing (theory) time.
The lab assignments are to be presented to the lecturer in the lab time, always before the indicated deadlines.
To pass the course you need to pass both parts (final exam mark and lab sessions mark) getting a 5 on each part out of a total of 10.

Specifications for the resit/retake exam:
In case of failing the the lab assignaments in the regular session, students are tested with a final assignament (in addition to the mandatory submission of a report of the solved lab assignments).
Both parts need to be passed, as in the ordinary session.

| General comments about the planning: | Lectures are given in a general scheme of three 1.5 hours weekly sessions. This course schedule is APPROXIMATE. It could vary throughout the academic course due to teaching needs, bank holidays, etc. A weekly schedule will be properly detailed and updated on the online platform (Campus Virtual). Note that all the lectures, practice sessions, exams and related activities performed in the bilingual groups will be entirely taught in English. Eventually, some evaluation activities or make up classes might be scheduled in afternoon/evening time. |
