Design and development methods for embedded system

OUTLINE
Embedded software, which is incorporated in embedded equipments and controling them, is the nucleus of the embedded system and an area that Japan can best show force. and should not have to exert the most force. Embedded software is already a part of our social infrastructure, and also depend the competitiveness of other industries. Such socially important embedded software, point high quality, high reliability is required, also well-suited to Japan in terms of cooperation with the hardware. Through that we will continue to develop the human resources responsible for the embedded software, which is important for Japan and a field that Japan can exert a force at the same time, we aim to improve development capabilities of embedded system in Japan.

TOPICS

Development of a software platform (SPF) for automobiles

The standardization of a SPF for embedded systems for automobiles is underway in Europe initiative and as the result, SPF for automobiles has become oligopoly state by the European companies. To maintain the superiority of Japan's automobile industry, rather than resorting to the oligopoly SPF, developing a competitive SPF easy to put out the strengths of the Japan's integral architecture development is desired. For problem solving for such SPF development, we established a consortium-type joint research organization by the University and several companies and research a high quality SPF for automotive control systems with our real-time OS technology as the core.

FUTURE WORK

We will continue to develop these researches, we will promote the research and development toward commercialization. We also will continue to practice the development of human resources responsible for the embedded software in conjunction with research and development.
