Our work centers around the problem of achieving timing correctness in embedded systems, which means to guarantee that the system reacts within the real-time requirements. In other words, a real-time embedded system is designed to monitor and respond to external environments within a time deadline. These systems interact with the environment using a variety of hardware and software interfaces. The embedded software manages these interfaces and assures that the tasks are accomplished within tight timing constraints. The Real Time Operating System (RTOS) on these devices is responsible for scheduling independent tasks and managing processes. From smart home appliances to sophisticated flight control for airliners, embedded computers play an important role in our everyday lives. Examples of such systems include airbags, avionics, smart thermostats, home security systems, emergency breaks, multi-media systems like video playback and QoS in web servers. Our real-time software & systems programmers have a solid background and understanding of both practical and theoretical aspects of real-time embedded programming, such as real-time embedded systems programming and the interactions of hardware, software, and the OS in such systems. We offer comprehensive software services that cover the full development and implementation cycle of Real Time/Embedded/Cross-Platform projects. Whether you need an embedded system, a device driver, or a full application….or else, our broad range of experience and skills allow us to deliver what you need. Our software engineers have extensive experience with embedded systems, real-time development, embedded Linux customization, Kernel/Android, Boot Loaders, development tools, training and consulting, optimization and porting. Real time applications can be made in many languages. Here is a brief list of our Real Time Software Development & Systems Programming services:

 

• Building working Architecture Baselines

• Project jump-start

• Tool customization

• Managing Requirements

• Assessing System Architecture Health

• Developing Components

• Testing

• Assistance with Existing or Of-Shelf Software Tools

• Training, Mentoring, Consulting

 

​

Architecture Base-lining

Architecture describes the fundamental high level structures, relations and mechanisms of a system. Architecture serves as baseline for system implementation, further development and maintenance. Without a true and clear view of the system architecture, agile or concurrent development becomes difficult if not impossible, increasing the system entropy requiring more testing and reduces time-to-market. Having a solid good architecture is mandatory for efficient system development and fast response to customer requirements. We create or document the true system architecture upon which your team can build on.

 

​

Project Jump-start

When you start a new project and want to take advantage and apply an agile model driven approach without compromising schedules, quality and cost, we can help you achieve these goals through our customized jump-start packages. Our project jump-start packages allow teams to adopt and assimilate an agile model driven approach with a minimal impact on the overall project costs and schedules.

Our experts provide training sessions in UML/SysML, Agile Modeling, Architecture design, design patterns and other areas that are interwoven with mentoring and consulting sessions in order to produce substantial advances on your project.

 

​

Component Development

In case you want to outsource parts of your system development in order to meet your deadlines, reduce risks or because you lack some specific know-how, we are here to develop your components. Jointly with our partners, we take full responsibility to deliver fully functional and tested software components. We provide you experts in the domain (Linux, Java, Windows, .Net, RT, Android, IOS,.....) and professional developers in the defined environment.

 

​

Requirements Management

Managing requirements properly is one of the key success contributors to projects. Our experts will manage your requirements and help you assure that all requirements are documented, implemented and tested. One of the important reasons of project failure is inadequate requirements management even though technical know-how and skills are present. This is so because:

 

• Oversight on what requirements exists and on their priorities has been lost.

• Oversight on what requirements have been satisfied has been lost.

• Client does not know which requirements have been tested

• Client is not aware that requirements have changed

 

AGS-Engineering will manage the requirements for you, we will help keep track of your requirements and their evolution.

 

​

Software Tool Customization

Many tools offer API's allowing to extend or customize their features. AGS-Engineering can help you in such tasks. Our software engineers advocate model driven development and have acquired a lot of experience in customizing modeling tools in order to make MDD more effective. We offer:

 

• Company customizations

• Project templates

• Company standard report templates for documents generation

• Utility development for efficient day to day use

• Integration with the development environment and existing tools

• Harmonization of tools with the defined development process

 

Our expertise is in Sparx Enterprise Architect, IBM - Rhapsody, GraphDocs - Graphical Document Generation, Lattix, Real Time Java, C, C++, Assembler, LabVIEW, Matlab…etc.

 

​
