In November 2008, three companies with complementary technologies –AbsInt GmbH, Gliwa GmbH, and Symtavision GmbH– founded the REAL-TIME EXPERTS alliance. Covering all relevant technological segments, the REAL-TIME EXPERTS provide integrated and efficient solutions for embedded real-time systems, debugging, and verification. The REAL-TIME EXPERTS leverage the joint advantages of execution tracing, static code analysis, scheduling analysis, system-optimization and advanced visualization.

For more info see: http://www.real-time-experts.com/ or visit us March 3-5, Embedded World, Nürnberg, booth 412, hall 10.

The REAL-TIME EXPERTS present their solutions and a methodology for timing analysis on their Road Show in March 2009. Several dates are reserved at major German automotive sites including München, Stuttgart, Regensburg, Wolfsburg, Ingolstadt and others.

Detailed information about the road show can be found here: http://www.real-time-experts.com/roadshow.htm

The founders of Symtavision, Marek Jersak and Kai Richter, together with their former university mentor Prof. Rolf Ernst, receive the Technology Transfer Award 2008 of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) of Braunschweig.

The award was given for successful technology transfer of the SymTA/S technology that validates and optimizes embedded electronic systems.

Start-up-Porträt: Die Braunschweiger Symtavision GmbH sorgt dafür, dass komplexe Echtzeitsysteme wie ABS und ESP gemeinsam funktionieren und reibungslos miteinander kommunizieren

In modernen Autos verrichten schon heute dutzende sicherheitsrelevante Assistenzsysteme zeitgleich ihre Arbeit – und ständig werden es mehr. Inzwischen ist es praktisch unmöglich, ihr Zusammenspiel in alle denkbaren Fahrsituationen auf der Straße zu testen. Hilfe verspricht ein Start-up aus Braunschweig. Die Symtavision GmbH hat eine Software entwickelt, die Systementwickler frühzeitig vor potenziellen Integrationsproblemen warnt.

Artikel in Ausgabe 1-2, 2007:

Über Datenbusse verbundene Steuergeräte sind heute ein unverzichtbarer Bestandteil moderner Fahrzeugelektronik. Fahrzeuge mit mehr als 50 Steuergeräten und verschie-denen, parallelen Datenbussen, die über Gateways verbunden sind, sind keine Seltenheit mehr (s. Titelgrafik). Gleichzeitig steigen die Anforderungen an Systemleistung und Zu-verlässigkeit bei reduzierten Kosten. Eine neue Klasse von Software-Tools unterstützt die Entwickler bei der Optimierung des Designs und Absicherung der Funktionsanforderungen.

Mehr Info unter www.hanser-automotive.de.

Dr. Marcel Consee, Redakteur der Design une Elektronik, schreibt über Symtavision zum Thema "Sicher, nicht träge!"

Entwickler sicherheitskritischer Echtzeitsysteme müssen gewährleisten, dass ihre Systeme innerhalb vorgegebener Zeitschranken reagieren und mit dem verfügbaren Speicher auskommen. Tests und Messungen können im Allgemeinen nicht sicherstellen, dass dies in jeder denkbaren Situation der Fall ist. Formale Verifikationsmethoden bieten hier eine Alternative.

SymTA/S, the leading application for real time system analysis and optimization, now supports extracting, visualizing and analyzing trace data from other applications. For example, trace data from the widely-used automotive application CANoe/CANalyzer can be easily imported, visualized and analyzed. SymTA/S analysis data can be exported for further processing in other applications.
