Embedded World: Little MBSE, lots of AI
Edge AI was the dominant topic at Embedded World 2024. The topic of systems engineering was of little importance.
With the principle of clear responsibility for object orientation for embedded developers
The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) is the principle of clear responsibility. At first glance, it seems simple, but the details are fascinating. This principle provides an initial rule on how a system should be divided into subsystems.
Object orientation for embedded developers with SOLID
This series of articles deals with a widespread problem in the development of embedded systems: A lot of development there is currently still procedural, not object-oriented. There are reasons for this: Some are justified, others perhaps not. The fact is, however, that object-oriented development for embedded systems is possible and in many cases even recommended. In this series of articles...
The future of modeling: Interview with Andreas Willert (Part 2)
In this interview, Andreas Willert reports on how modeling drastically shortened the certification of a fire protection system.
The future of modeling: Interview with Andreas Willert (Part 1)
In the interview, Andreas Willert reports that MBSE is booming, complexity is a problem and UML has failed in software modeling.
6 trends in embedded systems that will change systems engineering
There is no question that a transformation is taking place in product development: New technologies are making new products possible and we are changing the way we think about established products, such as cars. But what trends are driving this transformation? Below I describe six trends based on Jean-Marc Chery's keynote speech, which he gave at the...
The 4 elements of IoT development
More and more products are networked, making them part of the Internet of Things (IoT). But IoT development is fundamentally different from the development of traditional products. This is already a challenge for start-ups, but established companies are struggling almost more as established, proven approaches suddenly no longer deliver the results they had hoped for. In this article...
ESE Congress 2017
This week I had the pleasure of attending at least one day of the 10th ESE Congress in Sindelfingen. I was able to give two presentations on Tuesday, on modeling requirements and on ReqIF. The ESE Congress was initiated by Peter Siwon, whom I had interviewed for this blog in the past. To anticipate:...
Requirements management in an agile environment
The recently published article on agile systems engineering was very well received. The response clearly showed that the topic of agile is still highly topical. Registration for the Modeling Craftsmanship Camp on 18.11. in Hanover is open (registration >>), and the GfSE's systems.camp Nord on 7.10. in Hamburg is already half booked (registration >>)...
The 7 most important German-language conferences on systems engineering
Further training is a must in many professions, and even more so in technical professions. There are many forms of further training: Reading books, attending courses, doing learning projects - and of course attending conferences, or even better, presenting at conferences. There is a wide range of opportunities for systems engineers, and the following is a list of conferences, without claiming to be exhaustive. Missing...
