ESI 2.40  Master Class System Modeling & Analysis

This three-day master class will develop your skills in system level modeling with special attention to state-of-the-art analysis methods and techniques. The following topics will be addressed:
  • The link between product design. requirements and business goals.
  • The coupling between modeling, measurements and analysis as the way to do proper design space exploration.
  • Use case analysis and scenario evaluation to link to business context and requirements.

Target audience
The target audience of this master class are system engineers and architects with a sufficient professional background (experience of 5 years or more) in development for embedded systems.

Objective
Objective of the course is to teach system engineers and architects methods and techniques for achieving an effective transformation of requirements and business drivers to technology- and product design.

After this course students will be able to:

  • Understand what is a model, types of models, purpose of models
  • Understand the need for quantification and the limits of quantification
  • Be able to transform loose facts into an insightful model, that can be used as input for requirements discussions, system design and verification
  • Understand, and be able to apply, the threads-of-reasoning method as a means to communicate about, and discuss the linkage between business needs and technological decisions
  • Be able to analyse dependability qualities, such as reliability, safety and security
  • Be able to analyze the impact of changes, change and variation cases
  • Be able to manage expectation level of different stakeholders
Format
The master class combines theory with the application of modeling & analysis techniques by means of practical cases.

This master class covers the following topics:

  • Fundamentals of modeling and analysis techniques
  • Obtaining input via research & measurements
  • Performance modeling
  • Fundamentals application
  • Architectural reasoning
  • System analysis: robustness, sensitivity, dependability
