Intelligence, the next challenge in system complexity? This years theme attracted over 450 participants to the ESI symposium 2019. 2 keynotes, 14 industrial lectures, 4 ESI lectures, 19 boothes at the innovation market, and the signing of the MoU with Obeo and Altran, made the symposium into a successful event.
TNO, Obeo and Altran manage the complexity of high-tech systems Bridging the innovation gap Bringing advanced development methodologies for software engineering to the market During the ESI symposium on 9 April, TNO, Obeo and Altran signed a memorandum of understanding to work together on solutions for this complexity. The theme of the ESI symposium is "Intelligence, the next challenge in system engineering"? More than 450 system engineers from the broad high-tech industry and academic network of ESI attended the symposium.
Intense competition, an ongoing battle for talent, new technologies, shifting business models; the high-tech industry faces many extrinsic challenges. A major challenge however, comes from the inside: how to manage (and make good use of) the ever-increasing complexity? High-tech companies need to develop professionals that are able to look and think beyond the borders of a discipline, department or even the company itself.
Intelligence, the next challenge in system complexity? Date: April 9, 2019: 09h00-18h00 Venue: Auditorium TU/e Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven NL Costs: free of charge Registration: closed, contact the ESI secretariat High-tech systems are integrating more and more intelligence, which increases engineering complexity. At the 2019 ESI Symposium we will discuss the challenges this presents and initial directions for managing, and coping with, the growing complexity.
The Transposition project (ESI/ASML) works on model inference. Interface protocols are inferred to support re-engineering of legacy components. To obtain the best performing techniques to infer behavioral models, ESI and ASML co-organize the RERS 2019 challenge, in collaboration with TU Dortmund and the Radboud University. Contestants can submit their solutions until March 22.

The challenge: develop a driver assistance system with which three trucks can follow each other automatically and safely at 85 km/h with only a minimal inter-truck distance. Instead of trucks TNO-ESI rather thinks in building blocks or units. These trucks could also have been parcels or printing systems.
During his speech at TNO-ESI's 2017 Symposium on 'Managing Complexity' professor Dinesh Verma seemed to alternate between the philospher's, the linguist's and the engineer's approach to complexity and complication. It turned out that aspects from these fields together worked out fine to explain how the system architect got in his present situation and where he is at: he somehow needs to cope with complexity. “We need a lot more systems engineering institutes”, Verma sighs.
As high-tech systems almost equal complexity, Océ has decided to embrace this complexity as a way to master it. Two approaches stand out: to apply modeling to quantify uncertainty as much as possible and as a way to move towards virtual prototyping. The second aspect is to create as flat an R&D hierarchy as possible to create maximum flexibility and to make the most of each individual's contribution in development.

In the last decade marine traffic has increased considerably. To deal with this increase of responsibility cost effective situational awareness systems needed to be developed. These systems must be able to monitor and analyze thousands of objects and highlight any that may present a risk.
The Internet of Things is really starting to take hold as the price of sensors plummets, opening the way for the industry to optimise processes and seize interesting new market opportunities. In April the TNO-ESI symposium considered the impact of the paradigm shift in embedded systems engineering. The two German keynote speakers suggested that this signifies nothing short of a revolution.
The research group for Embedded Systems Innovation (TNO-ESI) of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Research (TNO) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Experimental Software Engineering (Fraunhofer IESE) will intensify their cooperation on research and development for high-tech and software-intensive systems.
Attracting around 350 participants the TNO-ESI Symposium centred on the theme "A Paradigm Shift in Embedded Systems Engineering". The participants were offered an extensive full-day programme of presentations and discussions.
We recently introduced a blended learning format in which we combine face-to-face with online learning activities. A blended learning format meets the demands for efficient learning and training for professionals, under the pressure of job duties.

Evolvability is the capability of a system to adapt to changes. An organisation that develops and maintains systems needs to be able to adapt them to changing circumstances in limited time, with reasonable effort, and in a predictable way. ESI research fellows edited a special issue of the journal 'Advanced Engineering Informatics' on this subject.
Together with NXP Semiconductors, ESI set up a training programme for NXP architects. The first programme started in November 2011 and finished in July 2012. A new group of 16 engineers will start their 1-year programme on 5 September 2012.
