Webinar - Lifecycle Management Software for Embedded Designers - March 25, 2009 at 2:00 p.m. EDT
This e-cast will offer up experts who have helped develop larger embedded projects, and who have seen the benefits of having a life-cycle management strategy first hand - and the risks in not having one. Too big a topic for just an hour, our experts will go into some of the life-cycle management methods in areas they find have the highest impact on making embedded projects successful. They'll present several case studies of real-world examples, and offer a handful of concrete solutions and suggestions for keeping track of life-cycle issues in embedded software development Learn more & Register

New additions to the Esterel SCADE Partner Program continue with Aitech Defence Systems, Inc., the largest independent supplier of COTS rugged computer products for harsh environments. Developers of both mission and safety-critical embedded control applications and critical embedded graphics displays can benefit from the time savings and product quality improvements resulting from the use of the jointly engineered, model-based 'software development through target hardware deployment' integration platform. The Esterel Technologies SCADE® family of products including SCADE Suite and SCADE Display now directly interfaces with Aitech hardware through Esterel's respective KCG™ certified code generators that provide certified automatic code generation derived from SCADE Suite graphical models.

Esterel Technologies and Aitech already share numerous customers globally in the mission-critical domains of aerospace, defence, space, rail, and industrial applications. This partnership and the resulting tested integration platform mitigates project risk and improves users' confidence in their development workflow and, ultimately, the deployed solution. Example applications where Esterel Technologies and Aitech hardware are deployed include cockpit displays, weapon launch controls, landing controls, mission control, control station displays, and computer-based train control.
