OMER3 Workshop

Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, Paderborn, October 2005

Embedded Real-Time Systems...

As embedded real-time systems nowadays are a crucial element of many advanced technical systems such as airplanes or cars, embedded software has become a main driver of innovations. Its complexity often reaches a level that poses a serious challenge to the development process.

... and Object-oriented Modeling

While model-based development strategies and automatic code generation have become an established technology on the functional level, similar modeling strategies on the system level have not yet gained acceptance. Domain-specific constraints such as real-time requirements, resource limitations and specific hardware dependencies often impede the use of appropriate object-oriented modeling techniques. Much effort in industry and academia therefore goes into the adaptation and improvement of object-oriented and component-based methods which promise to facilitate the development, deployment, and reuse of software components in embedded environments.

Workshop Focus

One focus of this workshop are the automotive industry's respective trends towards system architectures, software reuse and complexity management. In the last years, these developments have lead to initiatives such as AUTOSAR and to an increasing acceptance of model-based development processes.

Like the preceding events, this third workshop in the OMER series aims to bring together industry and academia to encourage communication on the achievements and needs of object-oriented modeling of embedded real-time systems.

The official language of the workshop (for contributions and sessions) is English.
