Sensors for elderly people – or homecare as vital part of a connected life?

by Peter Seidenschwang, December 11, 2012,

Almost every elderly person wants to stay in his/her well-known home rather than settling to a retirement home in some unknown part of the city (or even moving away from the home-village). All the neighbours you used to chat everyday about the weather would be unavailable. You would lose your personal freedom. You would feel really old….

In embedded systems Linux continues to thrive in several industries, including automotive, consumer electronics and medical sector. Many industries are now looking for off-the-shelf hardware with existing ecosystem and community support to achieve cost saving, vendor neutrality, shorter time-to-market or to drive innovation. On the one hand each industry has its own requirements but on the other hand Linux seems to offer answers to most of them.

Smart Products in our everyday life? – Sure – But what makes a product smart? Definitely it requires Embedded Systems technology inside the product. However, consumers will never buy the Embedded System itself, but they‘ll go for the product due to its usability, user experience, intelligence, connectivity, the solution approach, … – or in short: due to its smartness.

How to handle the complexity in the development of Real-Time Embedded Systems? At the DESIGN&ELEKTRONIK Entwicklerforum (http://www NULL.embedded-entwicklerforum NULL.de/) Juli 11th+12th an interesting solution was presented by Thomas Jung, Senior Software Engineer at Tieto in Munich. Thomas demonstrated a smart model based development approach, based on eTrice. This free model based development tool is running in the widely used Eclipse environment. Why is Real-Time behavior so important?

Increasing importance of Functional Safety in Embedded Systems

by Peter Seidenschwang, July 10, 2012, 
(167)

There is a clear trend for more and more embedded systems in all kind of products and machines across all industries. In parallel with this increasing share of embedded systems the complexity of those systems grows, too. These effects are valid for example also in the automotive industry, when developing medical devices or solutions for hi-tech-manufacturing/automation industries.
