Aircraft technology in the automobile

FRANKFURT, GERMANY, Jun 19 (MARKET WIRE) --

Synergy forum "Aircraft meets Automotive: Systems Architectures" 29 and
30 September 2008, Le Royal Meridien Hamburg

Frankfurt/Hamburg, June 2008. An organised exchange of experiences
between the aviation and the automobile industries is meant to help solve
the problems caused by electrical and electronic (E/E) systems. The
international synergy forum "Aircraft meets Automotive: Systems
Architectures" on 29 and 30 September in Hamburg provides a platform for
both industries in order to exchange information about the development of
system architectures. Practical experts from the aviation and the motor
vehicle industry will present solutions which are interesting for the
respective other industry. The event program can be called up in the
internet at: http://www.aviation-conferences.com/architecture

Prof. Dr. Frank Thielecke from the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg
and Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Manfred Broy from the Technical University in
Munich will lead the symposium, which is organized by IIR Deutschland
GmbH and the Car Training Institute. Henning Butz from Airbus will report
on the challenges with the design of system architectures for airplanes.
Frank Cornelius from Daimler and Matthias John from KTM will take on the
aspects from the view of an automobile and a motorbike manufacturer. Dr.
Mirko Jakovljevic from TTTech will show the possibilities of reusable
platforms in the airplane and will explain the concept "more electrical
aircraft". Joachim Bargmann from Airbus will explain how certification
standards are implemented in order to secure the quality of airplane
architectures.

Both in aviation as well as in the automobile industries, faults in the
E/E systems have had serious consequences. Cabling problems are one of
the causes for the delays in the delivery of the Airbus A380.
(de.reuters.com, 13 May 2008) The most common breakdowns in cars
according to the Dekra fault report 2008 are caused through errors in the
electrical or electronic systems. (dekra.de, 8 Jan. 2008) Both industries
are looking at the networking of hardware and software. This is made more
difficult through the complexity of the overall system, the large number
of interfaces and the use of differing communication protocols.
