The importance of (embedded) software in electronics development should not be underestimated. Where the emphasis used to be on hardware, this is no longer the case. Various specialists will be happy to talk to you during the D&E event to exchange experiences. They will also provide visitors with advice. For example, Logic Technology a lecture on the pros and cons of open source software for industry, while Dizain Sync precisely zooms in on a software platform to manage components.

Reinventing the wheel
We start with a 'hot topic' in our sector: open source software. This is software whose source code is made available for free. Everyone can modify and use the software as they see fit, so as a company you don't have to reinvent the wheel. 

You use the knowledge of a community of developers who work together to optimize the software. This saves you a lot of time and money. However, there are also dangers associated with using open source software, warns Gevorg Melikdjanjan of Logic Technology.

Open source vulnerabilities
Melikdjanjan puts during his presentation the pros and cons of open source software in a row using best practices. Open source software is more sensitive to security vulnerabilities and if something goes wrong you are responsible yourself. 

Legally, caution is also advised when it comes to licenses. During his lecture, Melikdjanjan explains how Logic Technology deals with this and advises visitors on the application. He also explains a new tool that automates the control of compliance and security issues. Logic Technology will be present on the trade fair floor with a demo of the tool, so that you can see for yourself how it works in practice. Read more…

Component database offers a solution
After Melikdjanjan's lecture, Richard van der Werf of Dizain-Sync takes over. During his presentation, he talks about managing components via software. 

Van der Werf talks about his experiences with a component database that helps designers select the right components for their design. There are different approaches to managing data. Using appealing examples and best practices, Van der Werf clarifies the challenges of component management and provides advice to his audience. Read more…

Visiting tip
There are various events at the event exhibitors present who are specialized in embedded software, for example: 3TINDES IDSHMS Networks and Logic TechnologyYou can also visit the live demonstrations on the trade show floor. You do not need to make an appointment for this: the demos take place all day and are freely accessible. 

Besides the inspiring lectures on embedded software, there is much more to experience during the event. Do you want to be there? Then register for free!
