Embedded software continues to grow by 20-50% every year depending upon the application domain. Increasing complexity can lead to a rise in defects and cost. Most companies have responded by adopting model-based engineering approaches that facilitate early validation of systems designs, but do not adequately address critical software implementation issues such as defect prevention and removal, safety of the implemented code, hardware abstraction, variant management and complexity management throughout the life cycle.

In this workshop, engineers will learn a new paradigm in embedded software design that starts by reducing the complexity of the system through a systematic analysis of all the operating modes. This is followed by modeling of the system behavior via interactive graphs that describe the system based on linear or differential equations, maps and curves. Our instructors will demonstrate these steps via state-of-the-art Eclipse-based tools and application examples. Participants will learn how these tools automate the generation of equations based on desired input-output relationships between different parts of the system. Through interactive sessions, they will also discover how these designs can be easily simulated on the PC or, just as easily, implemented on an embedded microcontroller using “safe-by-design” modeling and automatic code generation tools.
