Workshop Program

This tutorial will give a short introduction in AUTOSAR and the similarity to the modelling principles of UML 2.0. Because of this, the UML 2 syntax can be used directly for the system description within AUTOSAR. However, some concepts in AUTOSAR require the adaptation of UML to fit to the AUTOSAR syntax. In the tutorial, we will show some examples for AUTOSAR compliant additions and how they fit into the workflow of a state-of –the-art UML modelling tool.

Andreas joined ARTiSAN in March, 2001. He is responsible for pre- and post sales consulting, conducting of UML trainings and coaching in the region of Germany, Austria and Switzerland. He has written a series of white papers and articles on UML for Embedded Systems. After his diploma in Computer Science in 1991, he worked developing aerospace and automation software and systems in several roles as tester, developer and in project management.

The Java programming has replaced C++ as the predominant programming language, largely because Java programmers are approximately twice as productive when developing new code, and are five to ten times as productive during maintenance of existing code. Various real-time Java technologies offer to extend these benefits into the domain of embedded real-time systems. This talk surveys the various approaches, characterizing the strengths and weaknesses of each in order to enable developers to select the best tool for each particular job.

Kelvin Nilsen is Chief Technology Officer at Aonix. He founded NewMonics in March 1996 to develop JavaTM technologies for use in embedded and real timeapplications. Aonix acquired Newmonics in July 2003. Dr. Nilsen was a key contributor to NISTsponsored meetings to define the Requirements for Real Time Extensions for the JavaTM Platform. He was the technical chair of the J ConsortiumTM, and participates in the Open Group’s Real Time and Embedded Systems Forum, specifically on topics related to use and standardization of JavaTM for safety-critical systems. Since leaving the faculty of Iowa State University, where he worked for eight years as an Assistant Professor and Visiting Research Scientist, Dr. Nilsen has published and presented numerous technical papers in publications and conferences all over the world.

One of the major topics of this workshop is the Integration with control theory and functional modeling. SysML is currently the most prominent proposal for such an integration. Alan Moore, an active member of the Object Management Group (OMG), ARTiSAN's primary representative in the SysML consortium, and author of the parametrics chapter of the SysML specification, has agreed to give a keynote on this topic. Within the OMG he also co-chairs the Real-time Analysis and Design Working Group and is an active member of the System Engineering Special Interest Group. He previously chaired both the finalization task force (FTF) and the revision task force (RTF) for the UML Profile for Schedulability and Performance and Time.

The respective trends towards system architectures, software reuse and complexity management in the automotive industry are another focus of this workshop. In recent years, these developments have lead to initiatives such as AUTOSAR and to an increasing acceptance of model-based development processes. Tilmann Seubert is the head of the Advanced Development department of the Hella KGaA. With ten years of experience in the development of automotive electronics, he is currently responsible both for the advance development of products, packaging of integrated circuits and manufacturing technologies, and for the improvement of development methodologies. He will give a presentation on the AUTOSAR initiative.
