CURE-E Course: Real-Time Embedded Systems (EECE 437), first introduced with CURE-E Fall 2022

Project Title: Real-Time Synchronization Protocol for Distributed Systems

The proposed CURE-E project encourages students to devise a distributed protocol used among a group of embedded systems that achieves behavioral synchronization in a real-time sense. The protocol will be an effort to be an engineering invention inspired by a natural phenomenon. Upon the successful completion of the CURE-E project, students will be able to provide the following new knowledge to our discipline:

1. Discover effective machine-to-machine communication methods through literature search at the beginning of the project, discussion between group partners, and ideas exchanged in the whole class presentations.
2. Devise and implement their proposed protocol using formal quantitative design methods and iterations of experiment and validation.
3. Summarize their design and engineering innovation in formal technical reports or peer-reviewed conference publications to disseminate the new knowledge.
