UK conference to discuss safety critical software development

Organisers of this year's UK Device Developers' Conference have announced that there will be workshops and presentations relating to the development of safety critical and certified software.

 

In addition to this, several of the companies exhibiting at this year's Conference will be available to discuss topics such as the DO-178, IEC61508 and ISO 26262 standards.

The UK Device Developers' Conference is a one-day conference for engineers and computer scientists involved in the development of intelligent systems and devices. It is an event that explores the very latest tools and technologies available and includes a vendor exhibition, half-day technical workshops and a series of informative technical presentations.

"For an engineer that is having to embark on a project that needs to be highly reliable, then this Conference should prove very informative,” said Richard Blackburn, Conference Organiser. “Whether it’s the choice of operating system, hardware, debug tools or certification tools, there will be a number of industry experts sharing their knowledge and experience.”

German debug tool company Lauterbach and UK based code test experts LDRA will be presenting a half-day workshop entitled “Catch Software Errors Before It’s Too Late for Certification”.  This workshop will show how to simplify code analysis, test and certification for resource constrained applications. It will also explain how to quickly assess the impact of identified failures and unexpected results. The workshop will also explore automated testing processes and methodologies to achieve certifiable, high-quality software.

An industry expert from Esterel Technologies will give a presentation entitled "The Impact of a Certified Toolset in a High Integrity Software Development Environment". This presentation will discuss that working to any of the key software standards such as DO-178C, EN50128, ISO26262 or IEC61508 drives onerous changes into the V cycle design process. This talk will demonstrate that using a qualified or certified toolset can dramatically streamline and automate many of the steps, as well as build quality and best practice into the design.

Other exhibitors and presenters working in this field include Phaedrus Systems, SafeTTy Systems, SDC Systems and Lynx Software.

The Device Developers’ Conference is to take place in Reading, Cambridge, Manchester and Uphall (Scotland) during May and June 2015. The Conference is free to engineers and technical project managers. A small charge is made for places on the half-day technical workshops.
