"A Real-time Application of Oberon-SA:
Flight-control of Model Helicopters"
3.30 pm, Thursday 9 March
Room 2511, James Clerk Maxwell Building
Abstract
Oberon is a small, structured, procedural programming language.
Its conceptual simplicity and perspicuity result in compact implementation
and efficient code. It is therefore particularly appropriate for real-time
applications. As an example, we present the design of an airborne
system for flight control of model helicopters, and we show how
simplicity and compactness can be achieved in spite of (or because of)
the high-level language.
Oberon-SA is a large subset of Oberon implemented for the Strong-ARM
processor.
