AGENDA

Challenges for Graduating Students What are the embedded systems? What are wireless technologies? Embedded System Development Specifics What is Software Engineering? Embedded System Training Center (ESTC) curriculum

CHALLENGES FOR GRADUATING STUDENTS

Graduating students have the good knowledge in computer science

Mathematics Programming languages Basics computing techniques etc.

But! They don’t have sufficient skills and experience in Specific software development domains Software development process

SOLUTION FOR STUDENTS

Embedded System Training Center Specific software development domain

Embedded software

Wireless technologies

Specific software development process Software engineering in Japan and USA

WHAT ARE THE EMBEDDED SYSTEMS?

Embedded systems: Computer system designed to do one or a few dedicated

and/or specific functions often with real-time constraints. Embedded as part of a complete device often including

hardware and mechanical parts

Embedded software: Software for embedded systems Equipment (hardware) and software part of the product

shall be considered together with equipment

APPLICATION OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM DEVICES There are some embedded systems in every electric and

mechanical systems.

Automobiles, Train(Shinkansen), Aircraft, Digital Camera, Digital TV, Air-conditioner, Robot, Mobile phone, etc.

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT SPECIFICS

Resource constraints Cost limitations especially for the mass products Low RAM, CPU usage Time constrains (real time response). Low power consumption, operating environment (e.g.

temperature), weight

→ Real Time OS are used

Quality and Reliability Malfunction of the equipment directly related to system

malfunction Higher cost of recovery system Customer expectations for equipment reliability

FUN OF EMBEDDED SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Purely algorithmic programming Direct work with hardware and OS entities, allows to

understand deeply how your device works – phone, gadget, computer

Our target is not tiny assembler written code, it can be even RDBMS for small devices

Kind of hacking and sometimes Allows to work on variety of platforms

(hardware, OS)

WHAT IS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING?

Legitimate engineering disciplineThe application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software (IEEE definition)

Recognized profession Applies Computer Science theory and practical result The aim is: solving of the customer’s problems with

computing means Quality is the crucial point

WHAT IS SOFTWARE ENGINEERING?

System approach Analysis

Identify activities and objects

Define the system boundary

Consider nested systems, systems interrelationship

Synthesis of solution Creation of solution for system from subcomponents

solutions
