DETROIT, March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Innovations in embedded controller
development tools have helped automakers lower costs, reduce development time
and improve the quality of electronic features. The future of embedded
controllers will become more challenging as the list of functions that are
controlled electronically on new vehicles is expanding at a tremendous rate.
Each of these functions involves a control strategy managed by a combination
of properly developed software and an appropriate computer/microprocessor.
Dr. Hanselmann, the CEO and founder of dSPACE will discuss this evolving
technology, in a panel on "Embedded Controls Development -- Challenges for the
Future" at the SAE Technology Theater on March 9 at 1:30 p.m. The panel of
experts, including the chief executives of The MathWorks, Infineon, and ETAS,
will explore the complexities of designing systems, developing and trouble-
shooting software, and managing the need for down-stream modifications.
dSPACE's hardware and software toolsets have revolutionized development of
embedded controller software and enabled automakers to move faster from
prototyping to production. Based in Paderborn, Germany, dSPACE North American
headquarters are in Novi, MI.
SAE allows questions to be submitted to the speakers in advance by e-mail
to theater@sae.org. Members of the panel include Dr. Herbert Hanselmann, CEO,
dSPACE GmbH; Dr. Deepak Goel, Manager, Ford; Jack Little, CEO, The MathWorks
Inc.; Robert LeFort, president, Infineon Technologies North America, and
Thomas Zurawka, CEO, ETAS GmbH & Co. KG.
