Virtual System Development Platforms for Safeguarding Complex Microelectronic Systems

Improved quality begins with the combination of different models and previously separated domains into a comprehensive virtual design platform. Electronic systems are rapidly becoming more complex. This impacts almost all domains in which electronics are used today - especially industrial applications, medical engineering, communications engineering and, of course, automotive applications. What's changed is the addition of huge numbers of sensors and actuators that interact with the environment, the local integration of highly complex algorithms for evaluating the collected data, and the multitude of standards for wired or wireless communication with other systems.
