 * \brief  Timers and tick
 * \author Christian Helmuth
 * \date   2008-10-22
 *
 * DDE kit provides a generic timer implementation that enables users to
 * execute a callback function after a certain period of time. Therefore, DDE
 * kit starts a timer thread that executes callbacks and keeps track of the
 * currently running timers.
