Seminar: software architecture for embedded systems
Scalable architectures for complex requirements
Embedded systems are the backbone of modern technology - from cars to medical technology. But without a well thought-out software architecture, even small projects quickly reach their limits.
In this seminar, you will learn how to develop scalable, maintainable and reliable architectures for embedded software. You will learn practical methods for avoiding typical pitfalls and systematically mastering complexity. Regardless of whether you are improving existing systems or planning new solutions - a strong architecture is the key to success.

Information and details about the seminar
You will learn how to systematically identify and document architecture-related requirements and use them as drivers for your architecture decisions – based on standards such as ISO 25010. By using architecture patterns, traceability strategies, and proven evaluation methods such as the Fraunhofer RATE framework, you will develop robust architectures that ensure quality, maintainability, and scalability.
The aim of the seminar is to provide you with sound, practical knowledge on the development and evaluation of software architectures in embedded systems. You will acquire the skills to methodically structure complex systems, minimize technical risks, and make sustainable architectural decisions.

Feedback
Etienne Fuchs, Lead Software Engineer, E.G.O. Elektro-Gerätebau GmbH
»We recently participated in a multi-day training on systems and software architecture, and it was an incredibly engaging and valuable experience. Pablo's and Priom’s enthusiasm for the subject made the sessions not only informative but also genuinely enjoyable. The training gave us a solid foundation and directly influenced how we’re approaching our architectural work. As a result, we’ve developed a new roadmap to achieve our system and software architecture goals and, importantly, the training helped us select the right toolchain to support our documentation and modeling activities moving forward. Overall, the training was a great investment, and I highly recommend it to any team looking to strengthen their architectural capabilities.«
