The 1st IEEE International Workshop on Tools in Embedded Systems Design Process

Venue: Izmir, Turkey
Date: 2012.07.16 - 2012.07.20
Organiser: ABB y TECNALIA

Goals of the Workshop

The complexity of embedded systems and their architectures is growing rapidly. This is due to market demand for more functionality and to the non-stopping evolution/improvement of the available technologies, which are being integrated together in new and innovative ways. This complexity growth demands improved tool support, which are capable of providing adequate coverage of the embedded systems design and development process.

At an individual tool level, specialized tools are available to cover novel necessary features of modern devices and provide support for most of the large tool frameworks phases of the design in a unitary environment. On the next level, the main solutions available for dealing with the current complexity challenges are addressed by integration frameworks and tool-chains that combine/integrate different tools together covering the whole embedded systems design and development process.

The first Tools in Embedded Systems Design Process workshop intends to gather and illustrate experiences in tools development and utilization in the area of embedded systems design. Starting with requirements elicitation, and ending with post deployment situations, all design phases are of interest with respect to the tooling solutions. Practical illustrations of the accepted contributions will be considered, as possible during the workshop.

Theme

The theme of this workshop is Integration. Today, it is not possible to cost-efficiently engineer high quality systems without an extensive use of different tools which work well together, covering as much as possible of the design process. Tool integration is a real challenge, and even more so when the tools are being used by engineering communities with different traditions and cultures.

Topics of Interest

Contributions are expected to cover, not restrictively, the following topics:

• New tool(s) developments / prototypes
• Experiences in tool utilization to address new challenges
• Tool integration strategies, technologies and solutions
• Use cases to demonstrate benefits of integrated tool utilization in the design process
• Tools in the support of long product life cycles

Likely Participants

Researchers, developers and practitioners in the area of embedded systems design, analysis, production, maintenance, management.
