- Software engineering for research-intensive domains such as driver-assisted systems or autonomous driving in the automotive industry increasingly require highly sophisticated architectures as well as an optimized, safe, and secure interaction of a large number of actuators, sensors, and networked software components. In addition, connectivity, electric mobility, and heterogeneous development processes introduce new challenges for developers. The corresponding requirements in terms of real-time, causality, security, modularity, scalability or the use of various standards require appropriate domainspecific tools. Model-driven software development often plays an essential role for such tools. The SEERTS Workshop presents adequate technologies for the consideration of diverse and specific requirements within the embedded real-time domain (e.g. for robotics, automotive systems, etc.) and gives insights into their utilization in industrial applications.
I. INTRODUCTION AND WORKSHOP GOALS
Embedded real-time systems still undergo development challenges driven by computation, energy, timeliness, or safety demands whilst addressing various design decisions, standards, or architectures. Industrial and research developments continuously have to face those challenges and adapt existing technologies or develop new innovative approaches. For instance, the automotive domain evolves towards an electrified and connected infrastructure intertwined with advanced driver assistant systems or autonomous driving. The dense existence of tools, standards, or frameworks exacerbate to understand systems comprehensively and reusing legacy code may further have spurious influence during the various development cycles.
The SEERTS workshop focuses on technologies to alleviate the spurious influence of diverse constraints in the embedded real-time domain and presents innovative solutions applicable in industrial applications.
By participating at the SEERTS Workshop, developers get insights into state-of-the-art tools, technologies and applications that meet specific requirements. These special requirements give the SEERTS workshop its individual character, so that domain, real-time, tool, or technology experts can exchange experience, knowledge and know-how.
Typical technologies involve parallelization strategies, scheduling analyzes, tracing methods, simulation technologies, WCET analysis, resource blocking analysis and protocols, models and domain specific languages, and domain specific extensions of existing embedded real-time technologies.
