Developing Real-Time Embedded Products - Part 2
Lecturer: Kim Fowler, Coolstream LLC & Johns Hopkins University, USA
Monday, 17 May 2004, 2:00PM-6:00PM
This tutorial gets into specifics of design and development and their tradeoffs.
Scheduling and Estimating Effort
This portion of the tutorial gets into specifics of scheduling and estimating design and development. Find ways you can improve your estimating accuracy.
Tradeoffs
This portion of the tutorial addresses the eternal question that faces most of us: Do we build? Or do we buy? What architecture do we choose? The choice is between custom development and purchasing components or subsystems for the final design. Issues covered are: specifications, time, cost, and resources.
Mission-Critical and Safety-Critical Systems
This portion of the tutorial will cover issues in designing mission-critical and safety-critical systems. It will provide the general processes used in design and development and illustrate them with two case studies: a satellite subsystem and a medical device.
Fantastic Failures
Failure can be the source of useful information. It can advance the state of the art. This portion of the tutorial will present several case studies of failures and one success story. They illustrate what went wrong, what we can do to avoid them, and how we might advance the state of the art.
Tutorial T1 can be attended independently from tutorial T2.
