Webinar: Evolution of Integrated Modular Architectures and IMA - The Role of Ethernet Networks (27th August 2014)

The development of concepts and key ideas for Integrated Modular Architectures and Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA) have started in early 1980s. The objective was to pack many functions on less hardware, and reduce the number of control units, embedded electronics size, weight and power consumption. In aerospace domain this is an essential benefit for design of more efficent aircraft systems.
Hint: Today, very similar concepts emerge today in the field of integrated energy and transportation systems, railway and automotive domain, where many different functions should be integrated using a shared distributed computing infrastructure.

Ethernet networks as a system integration technology of choice influences the system integration capabilities and safety architectures, and enable design of more efficient systems.
