Embedded Software Is Different Interacts with analog environment Written by non-computer-scientists Not a product, but part of a product …  Business considerations: certification, warranty / recall / liability costs, product / company reputation, production costs (cheap microprocessors), …  Testing expense (especially medical?)  Reliability needs driven by requirements of over-all product … but an unusual part  Intellectual property  Competitive differentiation

©2004 Reactive Systems Inc. Vision: Model-Based Development Idea: model before you build  Catch bugs early  Models serve as precise specifications  Models drive coding, integration, V&V Modeling language should:  Use constructs familiar to controls engineers (cf. Simulink, LabVIEW)  Be simulate-able Technical / research questions  Language design (standards)  System architecture  Simulation / debugging / model comprehension  Plant modeling / virtual analysis  Code generation  Model-based system integration  Verification and validation  Calibration
