Embedded Software & Cybersecurity

During the Embedded Software & Cybersecurity seminar, we delve into the world of secure and robust embedded systems. Three experts will guide you through current trends and challenges, including the impact of the European RED Directive. An ethical hacker will demonstrate live how vulnerabilities in embedded devices are exposed and how attacks can be prevented. You'll also learn how smart software solutions help meet stricter security standards and securely update firmware. This session is essential for anyone who wants to design secure and reliable embedded systems.

From prompt to model: AI-driven requirements engineering in a model-based world

Generative AI is changing the way we define requirements: from standalone text documents to an interactive process in which AI helps formulate, structure, and maintain the consistency of requirements. But text alone is not enough — embedded software requires traceability and verification. In this lecture, I will show how AI and model-driven development reinforce each other: AI-generated requirements that land directly in a SysML/UML model, while maintaining traceability to architecture and testing. Drawing on practical experience with IBM Rhapsody and SAM (SodiusWillert), I will explain how an AI assistant collaborates directly with the model environment via open protocols — and what that means for the role of the engineer.
