Keynote Martin Eigner: Developing mechanics, electronics and software together
In this keynote speech, Martin Eigner shows how software, systems and services are changing product development.
Automotive needs systems engineering more than ever
Automotive in Europe is in crisis. It was caused by bad decisions, but systems engineering is part of the solution.
What is semantic versioning and does it also work for systems?
Semantic versioning has made component-based software development possible. Perhaps in systems engineering too?
Pragmatic systems engineering in medical technology: 4 transformative developments
Medical technology started introducing systems engineering quite late. This enables a pragmatic approach.
The error in thinking about the software-defined vehicle
Everyone is talking about the software-defined vehicle. However, system thinking and the importance of architecture are often forgotten.
Acquisition chain: Renesas buys Altium buys Valispace
The Valispace tool was acquired by Altium. The acquisition of Altium by Renesas is also currently underway.
Low-code - isn't that just modeling?
Low-code is a concept that promises to drastically simplify software development. Instead of programming with a programming language, domain experts can create functioning software, often using drag-and-drop. What is created by the user is a model. In the following, I answer the questions: What are the similarities and commonalities between low-code development and modeling? What are the possibilities...
log4j: Disaster or success story?
The dust is slowly settling around log4j. As a reminder: In December, a serious security vulnerability was discovered in this open source software package. Under the name Log4Shell, this vulnerability allowed attackers to execute arbitrary software code on computers using log4j. As log4j is a widely used framework for logging application messages, the consequences were serious. In this article...
Automotive transformation: billions for VW subsidiary Cariad
A bold decision in 2019/20: VW is investing billions in the development of Cariad, which will supply the Group with software.
Security in systems engineering
In systems engineering, we differentiate between functional safety and intrusion or IT security. In the past, security often had a lower priority and was sometimes completely neglected. With the introduction of more and more software into systems, security has become an urgent problem. If we don't get security under control, we have a big problem.
API First: Also in systems engineering?
The proven "API First" principle in software development can also be applied to systems engineering.
Arc42: Pragmatic software architecture
Arc42 is an open-source framework for documenting software architecture. We can also use it in systems engineering.
