Embedded System Design Using UML and Platforms

Overview Important trends are emerging for the design of embedded systems: a) the use of highly programmable platforms, and b) the use of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for embedded software development. It is believed that the time has come to combine these two concepts into a unified embedded system development methodology. Although each concept is powerful in its own right, their combination magnifies the effective gains in productivity and implementation. This paper defines a UML profile, called UML Platform, and shows how it can be used to represent platforms.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
