Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a real-life critical system (like air traffic control) and describe how priority inversion could lead to failure. What would PIP or PCP do in that scenario?

💡 Hint: Consider the implications of missed deadlines in such systems and the role of shared resources.

Question 2

Design a system using both PIP and PCP and discuss the scenarios where each would be beneficial.

💡 Hint: Think about how to reduce complexity through strategic protocol selection.
