Prof. Dr Magda Aparecida Silverio Miyashiro, visiting researcher from the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie Sao Paulo, Brazil give a lecture entitled “An approach to Embedded Systems development process – Level 2 of the CMMI-DEV process improvement maturity model” on 23 July 2015.
The presentation was attended by staff and researchers working in the area of developing embedded systems and high-performance multicore Electronic Control Units (ECUs).
Dr Magda Miyashiro is an experienced practitioner and researcher in the area of embedded systems, with application in automotive industry. In her presentation she highlighted that “In the same way as that of high-level software development, the embedded systems development could be failing due to a bad management in the development process. CMMI-DEV is a process improvement maturity model that was developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon. CMMI-DEV v1.2 defines what processes and activities need to be done and not how these processes and activities are done.”
Dr Miyashiro’s lecture was based on her recent research work “… a study that is being conducted to define the structure of the development process that meets the characteristics of embedded system, and leads to good practice suggested by current quality models”. The process Dr Miyashiro developed enables production of the documents that meet these models and allows control points for the seamless integration of the functions of the software and hardware of the embedded system.
The lecture was very well received by the researcher who attended the presentation. The Embedded Systems development process, Level 2 of the CMMI-DEV process improvement maturity model, will be adopted in the research project conducted at the University of Huddersfield. The process will be applied in the development, implementation, and evaluation of Autosar-based multi-core ECU hardware and software - an embedded high-performance system for automotive industry, and will lead to research collaboration between the HPC researchers in the Department of Engineering and Technology at the University of Huddersfield and the Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie Sao Paulo, Brazil.
