Stockage Policy Simulation and Virtual Inventory Optimization

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

Excerpt:    (Read the full post »)

Retail stockage policy, for merchandising or military applications, all have in common three decision rules which can be simulated (with or without constraints such as budget, quantity discounts, or warehouse space) using empirical or stochastic demand distributions to determine optimum customer satisfaction levels. Walt discusses the role of simulation and modeling and Foresight’s approach to solving the problems.

Requirement … Satisfied

Requirement … Satisfied. That’s “Mission Accomplished” to the systems engineer who has carefully shepherded the requirement from its discovery during Requirements Analysis through design, implementation, test and finally deployment. It’s a dangerous journey! Success doesn’t happen by accident. MBSE using Foresight can help!

Cunning UI Design for Embedded Systems

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Excerpt:    (Read the full post »)

I guess we’ve all encountered gadget user interfaces that were less than optimal, if not outright stupid. Huge numbers of embedded devices with touch screens are appearing on the market. Given this flood of tactile deprivation, I was thankful to see Niall Murphy’s recent article on Embedded.com with some very helpful UI “design tips”. If you’re designing an embedded system and considering the use of a touch screen, please, please read his article.

ESL: Reach For Another Rung

Sorry for two posts about the same subject, but Brian Bailey’s whitepaper (System Level Virtual Prototyping becomes a reality with OVP donation from Imperas) really got me thinking. Overall, Brian formulates a strong argument for system-level model-based design.

Is it (Finally) ESL’s Time?

Excerpt:    (Read the full post »)

I found a great article on OVP World written by Brian Bailey about ESL and the forces at work affecting ESL adoption. It’s called “System Level Virtual Prototyping becomes a reality with OVP donation from Imperas” and I highly recommend it.

Green Hills Software recently announced software performance optimization services with a money back guarantee. Foresight M & S would like to help you optimize your systems before they’re implemented.

RAMS & Multi-Core Embedded Systems

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Excerpt:    (Read the full post »)

“Convenient concurrency” (as described in an article by Grant Martin and Steve Leibson) eases the adoption and incorporation of multi-core processors in embedded systems designs. We discuss how RAMS also contributes to multi-core design success.
