Model-based Development of Embedded Software in Compliance with ISO 26262 – Challenges and Effective Solutions CME1801

Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance


This training class describes how to develop and safeguard safety critical embedded software in serial projects with Simulink in compliance with ISO 26262 (part 6). Beginning with a general overview of the ISO standard, we proceed by focusing on the ISO 26262 requirements that are specifically relevant to model based development. We address the impact the standard has had on model-based development with Simulink, as well as the requirements for model and software architecture in safety critical software. We also look at modeling guidelines and testing before wrapping up the class by assessing ISO 26262 readiness of controller functions. All theoretical knowledge is supplemented by means of several practical examples, which you can take straight back to your desk. Visit our LinkedIn Page.

Sophia Kohle is Product Manager of the MES Model Examiner® (MXAM). As part of her role, she defines the strategic objectives for the development and advancement of the tool. She also manages customer projects in which company-specific features, guidelines, and checks are implemented in MXAM. Her commitment to quality led her and her team to confirm the tool’s quality even further by having it classified and qualified by TÜV SÜD for its use in safety-related software development in compliance with ISO 26262, IEC 61508, and ISO 25119.

Hartmut Pohlheim has been driving forward the quality assurance of software models for the automotive industry for more than 20 years. He holds a doctorate in technical cybernetics and automation engineering from the Technical University of Ilmenau and is considered one of the most distinguished experts in model-based software development. Since 2008 Hartmut Pohlheim has been Managing Director of Model Engineering Solutions (MES) and is responsible for technology development as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). He inspires customers with his effective solutions and expertise in quality assurance. Agile management is important to him and he cares a lot about his employees feeling valued and appreciated.

Melina Simichanidou is a mathematician. After completing her Bachelor\'s degree at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, she successfully completed her Master\'s degree at the Technische Universität Berlin. She has been working as a software developer in the development team of the MES Model Examiner® (MXAM) since 2017. Her main areas of focus are the development of checks in MXAM and customer support. She also shares her expertize in software development as a trainer in the training classes.

Kai Teschner is a software engineer in the MES Test Manager® (MTest) team. He joined MES in 2016 while he was studying electrical engineering with a focus on control engineering and modeling at the Technische Universität Berlin (Technical University Berlin). In this way, he was able to gain first-hand experience in test projects regarding safety relevant software. After successfully completing his studies, he started working on developing the software of the test management tool MTest. As an MES Academy trainer, he shares his expertize in testing and developing safety critical software.

Yuzhu Yang is Product Application Engineer of MES China. He supports the introduction of model checking and testing tools to Chinese customers and contributes to the product development process. With over seven years of software developing experience in safety-related systems, he assists customers in how to best use MES tools and how to implement them in the model-based software development practice.
