System Level Design Philosophy
Designing an embedded system often requires that a team start at the highest levels and work their way into the details. In this sessionwe will explore modern design philosophy and best practices that allow a team to kickstart their design off on the right foot. Attendees will walk away understanding why best practices are importanthow to leverage themand a high-level understanding of what design philosophies work best to design modern systems.

Designing a Hardwareless System
The running theme in embedded systems is that we need the hardware to design and build our embedded systems. Todayembedded systems can be designed on modeled without ever writing a single line of low-level software. In this sessionattendees will walk away understanding how to design and architect their systems to remove hardware dependency.
