Event Experience
Keynote: Accelerating Development of Clean, Safe, Automated Software-Defined Vehicles
In this talk, Andy Grace, the VP of Engineering at MathWorks, will share his vision on how Model-Based Design is evolving to accelerate the design and development of clean, safe, autonomous software-define vehicles. Through this talk, the audience should learn about the impact that MathWorks is having in the automotive industry and the investments that we are making to address new industry challenges.
Dr. Andy Grace
MathWorks
Andy Grace is the vice president of engineering for design automation tools. He is responsible for simulation, code generation, and testing products. He has more than 25 years of experience in software development and has been involved in the development of a number of MathWorks products, including Simulink, Simulink Coder, Control System Toolbox, Optimization Toolbox, and Stateflow. He received his Ph.D. in computer-aided control system design (CACSD) from Bangor University. His area of research was the application of CACSD using multi-objective optimization techniques.
Keynote: Higher Efficiency with Scalability in Semiconductor and Mixed EV Architecture
We are in the transition into clean, safe, and software-defined mobility, with new High Voltage power technologies making electrified vehicles more competitive and governments pushing for CO2 neutrality. This transition is a disruptive paradigm shift for the established OEMs. The next challenge is to deliver the promise of software-defined vehicles which requires to increase the computing power, manage the data complexity within the car, and connect the car with IoT/clouds. 80% of this innovation is based on semiconductors that power the next generation of vehicle E/E architectures.
These new architectures need to address real-time, functional safety and security and, on the other hand, they have to distribute and compute gigabyte of data from the sensors across the car backbone, to enable innovative applications such as autonomous driving. Additional requirements include safe power distribution, redundancy, and diagnosis to guarantee “Always Power ON” for operating the car. Lastly, software-defined vehicles will need to provide customers with new services, that will be constantly updated over the air.
The semiconductor industry is already providing a variety of products, including SoC and MCU, which address these challenging requirements and support mixed EV architectures.
This hardware offering needs to be complemented with modern R&D process in which simulation and modern SW update management are standard elements. Infineon is committed to push digital twins and provide models to an environment which allows faster development, enabling design verification and approval processes at an early stage. Thanks to that, we can provide a secure supply, fast time to market and deliver the latest and most appealing technologies that next generation of customers is expecting.
Hans Adlkofer
Infineon
Hr. Hans Adlkofer studied electronics with a focus on semiconductor technologies. He started his career at National Semiconductor in the marketing department with a focus on ASICs for the automotive industry. His next career step was at Giesecke & Devrient where he developed a secure operating system for smart cards. Thereafter, he moved on to Infineon Technologies (previously Siemens Semiconductors) where he headed an application center for security and smart card ICs. Later, he moved to Singapore to head the business operations for security and smart card ICs for the Asian market. In 2003, he took over the responsibility as head of Business Unit Sensors at Infineon Technologies, mainly for the automotive market. Since 2009, he has been heading System Group Activities in the automotive division of Infineon.
