News Conference 2009

Timing Analysis is increasingly important for predicting computation and communication requirements in complex embedded systems, for coordinating between integrators and suppliers, for verifying the real-time capability of software and systems, and guaranteeing functional safety. Examples range from distributed control to bus configuration to electronic architecture design in automotive, aerospace, and other embedded domains.

The SymTA/S NewsConference provides a unique opportunity for the exchange of ideas among engineers, managers, technology experts and researchers in the field of embedded real-time systems. We invite you to discuss and share with us your questions, experiences, and requirements.

This year’s highlights include

Presentations by Bosch, Continental Automotive, EADS, FIAT, General Motors, TU-Braunschweig, and TÜV Süd
Exhibition incl. AbsInt, Aquintos, Gliwa, Rapita Systems, Symtavision
Pre-conference evening event with dinner speech by Dr. Thomas Scharnhorst
Who should join?

Engineers and engineering managers in system design and architecture, networking and integration, function and software development, test and certification from OEMs, suppliers and service providers, as well as innovators from industry and academia.

Why should you join?

Get a comprehensive view on timing, performance, reliability, and certification and learn about solutions in practice.
Meet top experts from industry, solution providers, and research, and discuss state-of-the-art and future technology trends.
Influence the future in the field of real-time system development
Attendee statements about the 2008 event:
