->16.5.2023: For all students who attended the general review meeting and have complaints regarding the written PODS exam:
to be able to discuss the exam individually please send an email to rasha.faqeh@tu-dresden.de until 18.5.2023

- All students who are interested in reviewing their written PODS exam can participate in the meeting scheduled on Tuesday, 16.05.2023 in the second double lesson (9:20-10:50) in room APB E023. Note, there will not be any other meeting to review the exam.

PODS:

For safety-critical systems, the risk of software failures must be negligible. In this course, we will present design principles for building highly dependable systems, i.e., systems that are available, reliable, and secure. The scope of dependability ranges from simple hardware components up to complex distributed systems.

Throughout the semester, two assignments will be given to the students. They will be presented in the exercises but can be solved at home. The assignments must be handed in at a strict deadline, which will be announced when the assignment is presented. A student may only take part in the final exam if s/he completed the assignments successfully (i.e., handed in on time and solved correctly): it is sufficient to solve 80% of one assignment to take part in the final exam.

Outline
