EARLY BIRD – Seamless System Design from Concept Phase to Implementation

With Ingemar Söderquist, Saab, Leif Linderstam, Ericsson and Ingo Sander, KTH.

Abstract

The main goal of this project and its critical innovations in digitalization is to enable the industry to handle increased complexity and an ample design space already at the concept phase. This will allow for early agile design decisions. The necessary enabling technology has been identified as a seamless system design flow that integrates existing engineering experience and uses executable models, design space exploration and synthesis on several abstraction levels to map the conceptual model to final implementation with guaranteed performance, safety, and reliability. Both Saab and Ericsson have recognized this need as essential for competitiveness. It is jointly addressed in this project, whose outcome will also benefit other system industries and strengthen Swedish academia.

Bio

Ingo Sander is a professor in Electronic Systems Design. His main research interests are design methodologies for embedded systems that can provide service guarantees for the final implementation. His current work aims toward a correct-by-construction design flow for mixed-criticality applications on shared multiprocessor platforms. He is the creator and main contributor of ForSyDe (Formal System Design), a design methodology for embedded systems, which has a formal foundation in the form of models of computation (MoCs) and covers the whole design process from specification to the final implementation.

Ingo Sander received the MSc degree in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany, in 1990 and the Ph.D. degree and a docent degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 2003 and 2009, respectively. Between 1991 and 1993, he worked as a system design engineer at Ericsson, Sweden. In 1993 he joined KTH, where he, since January 2018, held a position as a professor in Electronic Systems Design.
