The workshop is jointly organised by National Instruments and the Applied Control Technology Consortium (ACTC) which is an international training and technology transfer body that includes 40 of the leading automotive, aerospace, and embedded control tools suppliers.
This wide ranging one-day workshop has a number of objectives. It aims to introduce some of the new methods and technologies for automotive control systems and to describe recent advances in integrated design, simulation and real-time control tools. This initial meeting in particular will launch the ACTC as a vendor-neutral forum for identifying common needs and solutions among the automotive embedded control community.
The agenda for the meeting is as follows: NEW!! You can now see abstracts for presentations (where available), simply point your mouse at the "Abstract" link.
