Prototyping Real-Time Controls Using Simulink, Stateflow, and xPC Target presented by The MathWorks

We will demonstrate how to develop, test, and validate real-time control algorithms using Simulink and Stateflow, without needing to acquire development tool chains, building devices drivers, or board support packages(BSPs). We’ll discuss how to test these algorithms in simulation, and automatically generate code so they be integrated with the rest of your system. We will also show how to deploy your algorithms to a real-time system using an x86 compatible embedded platform, Real-Time Workshop, and xPC Target. Lastly, we will demonstrate how these algorithms may retargeted into a production environment.

Eliminating Fatal Errors in Embedded Code
presented by The MathWorks

Increasing software content and complexity in today’s embedded devices amplifies the risk of failure and complicates the process of achieving high confidence in safety and reliability. Traditional software testing methods are limited in scope and static analysis based testing produce high rates of false positives. Formal methods based abstract interpretation is quickly becoming the solution of choice, because it proves the absence of a defined set of run-time errors in code. By verifying code to be free of fatal run-time errors such as under/overflows, out-of-bounds array index, illegal pointer de-referencing and other run-time errors, software and quality engineering teams are able to improve the overall reliability of software. Learn how these new techniques can be applied to the development of critical embedded applications where software quality is at stake.
