The Internet of Things in the Lab

Staging and Testing for the Real World

Internet of Things (IoT) systems often include hundreds or thousands of nodes. How do you test software running across all these nodes when you can't practically manage the large physical labs necessary? Virtual platforms and simulation of wireless networks and the environment can help overcome these challenges by converting difficult hardware into software simulations that can be created, controlled, and configured with ease. This paper describes techniques for IoT system simulation and scalable testing.

Learn:

  • How you can build test beds for large IoT systems using virtual-platform-based, transaction-level simulation
  • The importance of testing software in a system context, including both the networks and the surrounding world
  • How you can set up staging environments in a pre-production environment using simulation

Cybersecurity for Medical Devices in a Connected Healthcare System

Both medical device manufacturers and end users should consider the new concerns of cybersecurity in order to meet regulatory requirements and mitigate risk for their company brand and reputation. The cybersecurity response must be incorporated into the entire device lifecycle—not only the design but also the development, manufacturing, operational maintenance, and decommissioning, as well as the device's operation in an IEC 80001 conformant healthcare environment.

  • How Wind River works with medical device manufacturers to ensure usage of the latest best practices
  • Crucial components you need to consider for your security strategy approach
  • How to properly design security into medical devices

In the industrial segment, operational technology (OT) and embedded systems are at an inflection point as they move from specialized, single-purpose hardware to obtain the business and technology advantages of hosting multiple workloads/applications on general-purpose servers. Major industrial equipment companies are beginning to build on the approaches to transformation that have proven themselves in the information technology (IT) realm, bringing those same architectures to OT systems. Virtualization and containerization technologies have been successful for IT, and now these technologies are taking on the OT challenge.

THIS WHITE PAPER EXPLORES HOW

  • Hypervisor-based virtualization can enable an application or workload to run in its own virtual machine (VM) on a single server or on a system board running multiple VMs using different operating systems.
  • A VM running a critical application or workload can be safely partitioned away from interference with other VMs.
  • Container-based virtualization can provide a lightweight alternative to VMs, with multiple containers able to share a single OS instance.
  • Using a combined hypervisor-based VM-and-container solution can provide the best of both technologies.

Open Standards for Autonomous Cars

Every major automaker is scrambling to capitalize on the enormous potential of the autonomous car market, knowing they cannot afford to be left behind. New competitors are emerging that are forcing accelerated change to traditional automotive business, design, and process models. But today's competitive free-for-all has huge downsides: redundant and wasteful investments ending with discarded technology, fragmentation of critical safety approaches, and reactive business models that are simply unsustainable. A smarter approach to developing standards is needed.

LEARN

  • Possibilities of a more collaborative approach to open standards
  • Lessons from other safety-critical industries
  • The importance of standardizing software approaches and requirements for autonomous cars

Next-Generation Automobiles Will Look Like Manned and Unmanned Aircraft

The automotive industry's transition from an ownership model to a usage-based model—driven by the "sharing economy," autonomous driving, and mobility-as-a-service platforms—is forcing automakers to make extensive changes in automobile architectures and the automotive business supply chain. Future automobiles will have electronics systems that closely resemble commercial aircraft systems, which optimize safety, security, reliability, and availability. These systems will also be based on open standards that are derived from a wide range of transportation industry solutions.

Learn:

  • Significant trends driving automotive platform changes
  • Open aviation standards that may apply to or influence similar standards in automotive
  • How global avionics solutions can be leveraged by the automotive industry

Keeping Pace With The
Software-Driven Car

How Automakers Can Better Control Software, the User Experience, and Profitability as the Rate of Change Continues to Accelerate

Automakers are still coming to terms with the fact that a “car,” in the eyes of consumers, is no longer defined by its physical properties and capabilities. In many ways, the automobile is evolving into a software-driven mobility service, defined by the experience it delivers while taking passengers from point A to point B. That experience is largely defined by software—from dashboard instruments and GPS systems to in-vehicle infotainment (IVI). And consumer demands and expectations about this software-driven experience continue to change at an ever-increasing pace.

Learn

  • The ability to fully control and “own” the software in order to evolve it quickly enough to keep up with changing consumer lifestyles, market demands, and competitive innovations
  • Four key requirements for staying ahead of the curve—and maintaining profitability—in an era of unprecedented change for the automotive industry
  • A software strategy that enables the preservation of existing automotive business and the delivery of new, high-quality experiences throughout the vehicle’s lifecycle
