Where Does He Get Those Wonderful Toys?
The tools that an engineer uses can make or break a project. Sureyou can build a house with a hammer and nailsbut it'll go much faster with a nail gun and nails. In this sessionwe will explore the modern development cyclechallengestool classes and where to start looking for the right tools for the job. Attendees will walk away understanding the value of tools and how to select them.

Modeling and Code Generation
How we design and build embedded systems has been rapidly evolving. Techniques used just a few years ago are becoming antiquated. In this sessionwe will explore how to accelerate development using modeling and code generation tools. Attendees will walk away understanding the value propositions for generation versus hand coded systems.
