SDC Systems specialises in the provision of tools and technologies for the development and testing of software for real-time and embedded systems.
Entitled "Exploiting Open Source Software for Highly Reliable and Secure Systems", company director Peter Heyes will discuss the best practices for increasing the adoption of OSS whilst achieving and maintaining open source license compliance. The presentation will also touch on the application of automotive-driven standards and certification, including MISRA, ISO 26262 and IEC 61508, whilst ensuring the secure use of open source software.
“The Automotive industry is a leader in the use of standards and processes to govern the development of secure and reliable embedded software,” said Peter Heyes, Sales Director, SDC Systems. “They are also heavily leveraging the open source software (OSS) ecosystem, taking advantage of millions of lines of code to augment development and push the innovation envelope. This presentation will explore the fact that embedded software development teams outside of the automotive industry can benefit from adopting many of their processes and approaches, in the development of secure and reliable systems.”
The Device Developers' Conference is a one-day conference for computer scientists and electronic engineers that work in the development of intelligent systems and devices.
