Established in 1745, the Technische Universität Braunschweig (TUBS) is the oldest technical university in Germany with Carl Friedrich Gauß as one of its early students and lecturers. The Institute of Computer and Network Engineering (IDA) is internationally known as one of the pioneers in embedded system design automation, HW-SW co-design, and real-time analysis and optimization for networked systems. In the past 10 years, there was a major emphasis at IDA on timing analysis and optimization and security for networked embedded systems leading to a spin-off, Symtavision that meanwhile operates worldwide with major automotive OEMs and many suppliers as their customers. IDA also has more than 20 years of experience in the architecture and design of reliable computers and fault tolerant mass memories for space applications. Based on this work, embedded system reliability has become a second research focus. Further collaborative projects in multiprocessor systems-on-chip reliability are concerned with dependable networks-on-chip funded by the German BmBF and with reliable microkernels implemented on unreliable technologies for safety applications funded by the German DFG.
