A Cookbook Approach to Building an Embedded Control System Using Graphical System Design
Have you seen those cooking shows on food channels, where a chef gives you a step by step approach, as he dishes out a mouth-watering dish. He shares with you all the ingredients used, recipe and his knowledge on how to proceed. But, more importantly, he gives up a big belief that you can cook that dish too. Attend this session how speaker will re-create this experience for you, when it comes to building embedded control systems using a new Graphical system Design platform. This highly integrated hardware-software platform enables engineers and scientists to rapidly design, prototype and deploy embedded systems.

Tame the Complexity of Developing Safety Critical Applications
Successfully delivering complex systems requires the development of optimal designs on time, within budget and meeting quality standards. Model-Driven Development(MDD) brings many benefits such as the possibility to develop the system using different level of abstractions allowing engineers to reason about that system by just focusing on the more relevant characteristics and ignoring extraneous details. This approach ensures better portability, interoperability, re-usability and early verification and validation of the System.

The key take away from this presentation would be to focus on how to effectively develop a Safety Critical application with handling the complexity, reducing time to market, delivering high quality standards and being in conformance to Safety Standards as DO178B/C
