Press Room - Latest Press Releases

Who:  The MathWorks, the world’s leading developer of technical computing software for engineers and scientists in industry, government, and education. 

What: The MathWorks to exhibit its newest product, Simulink® Verification and Validation, lead solutions-focused technology sessions, and co-host a brown-bag lunch discussion, “System Engineering: New Techniques and Processes for the New Millennium.”

Where/When: Embedded Systems Conference, Moscone Convention Center, San Francisco, California, March 6 - 10, 2005.

As a part of this year’s technical program at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in San Francisco, technical experts from The MathWorks will demonstrate how engineers can use Model-Based Design to address common challenges in control design, signal processing, and production code generation.  Event details are provided below.
 
Tuesday, March 8, 1:00 pm
Jim Tung of The MathWorks and Bruce Powell Douglass of I-Logix will co-host a brown-bag lunch discussion, “System Engineering: New Techniques and Processes for the New Millennium.” 
The discussion will focus on the use of Simulink and UML for embedded system development.

Tuesday, March 8 at 2:15 pm
Dr. Arun Mulpur and Paul Pacheco will present “Using Model-Based Design to Develop High-Speed Signal Processing Hardware for Software Radio.”
Part of the Easy Paths to Silicon Design seminar, this session will demonstrate how Model-Based Design accelerates the development of signal processing hardware.  Concepts will be illustrated through the step-by-step design, simulation, code generation, and verification of a high-speed digital down conversion “front end” for a software-defined radio.

Wednesday, March 9 at 2:00 pm
Tom Erkkinen will host the class “Production Code Generation.”
Part of the Embedded Training Program, this class covers techniques for designing, implementing, and deploying embedded systems using a modeling environment and automatic code generation.  It is designed for systems and software engineers who are considering or already using Model-Based Design to develop complex embedded control systems. Topics include code efficiency optimizations, data management, style guidelines, software integration, and verification and validation.

Thursday, March 10 at 2:00 pm
Zijad Galijasevic of The MathWorks and Arefeen Mohammed of Texas Instruments will lead the class “Model-Based Design for Closed-Loop Control of Embedded Systems Using Fixed-Point Controllers.” Part of the Embedded Training Program, this class focuses on the use of Model-Based Design to develop a closed-loop, real-time motor control application.  DSP engineers will learn system-level optimizations, which can be difficult to realize using only C- or HDL-based tools. 

The MathWorks will also unveil Simulink Verification and Validation, a new product that accelerates system development by enabling engineers to handle design complexity through continuous system-level verification and validation. Visit Booth # 2218 to learn more about how Simulink Verification and Validation and other MathWorks products are being employed in the embedded systems industry.
