Architectures for Embedded Systems

Overview

Software is making an important contribution to the value created by modern embedded systems. Software in embedded systems is thereby becoming ever more comprehensive and complex.

The right architecture is crucial for the successful development of embedded systems. The specific requirements for embedded systems with regard to safety & security, availability, time response, performance, and increasingly also interlacing are decisive for developing the right architecture.

Industry has recognized the importance of architecture and responded with ISO/IEC 15504 (SPICE), AUTOMOTIVE SPICE® and AUTOSAR.

Content

Participants gain insight into

architecture-based software development processes
the nature of software and system architecture, samples and principles
quality requirements as the important drivers of architectures
a procedure model for creating architectures
the use, and the benefits & limitations of tools when working on architecture
the evaluation of architectures
AUTOSAR as an example for the industry standard in automotive

The course consists of lectures, exercises and discussions, and will offer plenty of opportunity for questions, discussions, and the exchange of experiences.

Objectives

The course will enable participants

to understand the importance of structured processes
to get to know the potential of process improvements
to understand the architecture of the CMMI® model, i.e. maturity/capability levels, process areas, goals, generic and specific practices, etc
to acquire sufficient understanding of the CMMI® model to be an active member of a CMMI® appraisal team
to apply/implement the principles of the CMMI® model in the software and system development in organizations

Target Group

The course is designed for experienced developers as well as for young colleagues with a degree in information technology or engineering.

Participants receive

Training materials and the results of their exercises and discussions

A participation certificate

Participants and Prerequisites

Prerequisites: None

Number of participants: 6 to 12 people.

The training will be held by Dr. Uwe Werner, iocon. As an architecture and method consultant he has many years experience in the product development of versatile software for embedded systems, system analysis, design, as well as with AUTOSAR. Dr. Werner is also Associate Professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Frankfurt/Main, Germany.
