Trends and Challenges in Architecting Embedded Systems ... - KTH

Trends and Challenges in Architecting Embedded Systems!
- an ICES Seminar
in collaboration with INCOSE Sweden
The driving questions behind this seminar include:
Thursday 4 th November 2010
10.00 – 16.30
KTH Campus, Brinellvägen 64, Lecture Room M2
What makes a good architecture?
How is complexity managed?
Which technologies drive architecture development?
... which views, which metrics, which methods?
How do you verify an architecture?
How do you communicate it?
… and how are architecture design decisions and rationales captured?
The seminar will discuss these issues and exchange ideas across domains, and between industry and
academia. A broad spectrum of industry is represented by speakers from Saab Aerospace, Ericsson, EIS
by Semcon, Scania and Volvo Cars, with Martin Törngren (KTH) and Jörgen Hansson (Chalmers)
offering the researcher's perspective. (See the industrial speakers abstracts overleaf.)
The afternoon will wrap up with a Panel Debate to address the questions above.
A post event summary will be posted on the ICES homepage next week, and the presentations will be
made available there as pdf documents. Please see www.ices.kth.se/
Thank you for taking part in today’s seminar!

INDUSTRIAL SPEAKERS’ ABSTRACTS
Long living Architecture in Mobile networks, DIETMAR FIEDLER (Ericsson)
Ericsson Mobile Media Gateway (M-MGw) is a mobile telephony switch which has been delivered all around the globe. It is used
by mobile operators in there Core network solutions.
The development started in 1999 for 3 G networks and the architecture needed to be adapted several times due to changing
requirements. How has the M-MGw architecture changed over the years? What was needed to keep an maintainable architecture?
Dietmar grew up in Austria, but moved to Finland in 2000 where he started to work with M-MGw development in different areas,
such as architecture/system design, software design, trouble shooting from low level testing up to field support. During those years,
he was software architect and subsystem responsible for the controlling application and the user plane solution of M-MGw. His
final postion in M-MGw was Senior Specialist for software architecture and design. In September 2010, he moved towards software
research organization and now works as a software researcher.
Architectural challenges in Aerospace systems, MATS EKMAN (Saab Aerospace)
This talk will give an overview how avionic architectures have evolved over the years up to now and the drivers behind. Mats
Ekman is a Systems Engineer at Saab Aeronautics, responsible for Avionics Integration within the Gripen project.
Architectural Paradigms in Design of Embedded Systems: Optimization Issues and Trade-Offs,
VIACHESLAV IZOSIMOV (EISbySemcon)
Complexity of automotive embedded systems has grown dramatically over past decades. These systems have become distributed,
are nowadays composed of tens of computation units, and are even connected to the Internet. Many issues have to be taken into
account during design of these systems such as performance, security, safety, reliability and, in particular, cost. Designers face many
hard problems in finding and fine-tuning trade-offs between different systems attributes. In this talk, we discuss system attributes
and present a number of trade-offs, which should be addressed in modern embedded systems design. We also identify pitfalls that
should be acknowledged and present approaches for system design optimization.
Dr Viacheslav Izosimov (Slava, for short) is a Systems Engineer at the Embedded Intelligent Solutions (EIS) By Semcon AB
corporation. He performs advanced consultancy work in the area of safety-critical embedded systems, functional safety and
reliability. In particular, he works with ISO 26262 and IEC 61508 standards. He has been officially certified by TUV Rheinland as
the Functional Safety (FS) Engineer.
Viacheslav defended his PhD in Computer Systems at Linköping University (LiU) in 2009. His PhD thesis entitled "Scheduling and
Optimization of Fault-Tolerant Distributed Embedded Systems" dealt with several aspects related to design optimization and
scheduling of distributed embedded systems with fault tolerance against transient and intermittent faults. His thesis opponent was
Prof Krishnendu Chakrabarty from Dept of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University (USA).
Viacheslav's supervisors were Prof Zebo Peng and Prof Petru Eles from Embedded Systems Lab at Linköping University (LiU) and
Prof Paul Pop from Technical University of Denmark (DTU). During his PhD, Viacheslav was involved into the National
Graduate School in Computer Science (CUGS) and the ARTES++ National Graduate School in Real-Time Systems."

Lean Architecting , STAFFAN PERSSON (Scania)
This talk is about Lean, Lean product development of in-vehicle software at Scania and specifically about the use and need of
architecture and architects in a Lean development context.
Staffan Persson is lead architect for Scania in-vehicle software and electronics, responsible for functional architecture and
methodology.
Architecting Automotive Software: Industrial Practice, ULRIK EKLUND (VolvoCar)-
Today’s talk presents an in-depth view of how architects work with maintaining software architectures in the automotive industry.
It also presents what consequence technical choices and business strategy have on the architecting process. The talk concludes with
some personal observations about best practices and areas of possible improvement.
Ulrik is and industrial PhD student for Volvo Car Corporation, working at the Dept. of Computer Science & Engineering,
Chalmers Univ. of Technology. You can read more on his blog at: http://automotive-sw-architecture.blogspot.com/
