It is now practical to write software for real-time systems long before the actual computer hardware is sitting in a physical prototype. In today’s world it is rare to find electromechanical devices ...

Virtual system integration and test using Model-Based Design uncovers errors introduced in the requirements and design phases of embedded system development, well before the physical testing phase. As ...

The benefits of using simulation early and often in the product development process are clear. You can verify requirements and begin studying and exploring design alternatives before prototyping and ...

How model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has improved system design. Thermal design and MBE come together. When considering systems-level design, it’s important to understand the criticality of the ...

Information technology (IT) value remains a serious concern of management today, especially how it should be measured and how it is created. Although we have made significant progress at the firm and ...

A look at the current state of affairs suggests that domain experts and high-level-system architects—as opposed to coders and processor experts—have gained significant ability to participate ...

The world of the hardware design engineer has changed dramatically in recent years. Designers no longer sit and code RTL in isolation to meet a paper specification, and then wait for a hardware ...

Designing electronic systems that comprise multiple interacting boards, connectors and cables requires a multi-discipline team collaboration to effectively manage design complexity for optimum product ...

Most engineers are surprised to learn that the term mechatronics isnearly 40 years old. It was first used in1969 by Tetsuro Mori, anengineer at the Yaskawa Company, to describe a system composed ...
