Annotation	The aims of studio subject are to give understanding about embedded systems at sensor network for different industry and business implementations. Special attention was attracted for advanced innovative technologies and implementations of microcontroller platforms, such as operational real time system (RTOS). Three categories of microcontrollers are considered, which illustrated with some examples by signal processing and converting processors (DSP). In subject content are included embedded system design methods and service oriented architecture realization base topics by using (RTOS). There are possibilities for student experimental and technological practice works.. The students are introduced with embedded system realizations (wireless sensor network) at laboratory tasks..
