IESF Automotive 2017: EE Architecture, Autonomous, Connectivity, Electrification
Registration for IESF Automotive 2017 is almost full! The event is expected to have record-high attendance. Integrated Electrical Solutions Forum (IESF) Automotive is the leading conference on EE design trends and solutions in the automotive industry. This year’s event will be held at the Inn at St John’s in Plymouth, Michigan on Wednesday September 20th. Admission is free and includes a mixture of keynotes, guest speakers, technical breakout sessions, panels, solutions expo, and networking events.
The agenda focuses on four key technical areas:
- EE Architecture – EDS design, wire harness engineering, networking, and system implementation
- Autonomous – Autonomous driving and driver assist systems
- Connectivity – Connecting car, driver, and the external world
- Electrification – Electric vehicles and supporting technology

SESSION HIGHLIGHTS
The conference program features 40+ technical sessions. You can view the full agenda here.
Electrifying the Digital Thread
The electrical domain architects, integrates and interconnects subsystems within their mechanical host. Increasing functionality, market trends, and the megatrends of electrification and autonomous operation are driving ever more complexity, cost and errors into the process. Today’s advanced solutions create a digital thread connecting all Capital abstractions from product definition through physical design, manufacturing and maintenance, truly electrifying the digital twin.
Autonomous Drive: Systems Design Trade-offs for Centralizing the Sensor Processing
Autonomous driving is making headlines, and the number of players is ever increasing. There are many design considerations for autonomous vehicles because of complexity. Wiring and network tradeoffs need to be evaluated early in the design to help optimize cost, network bandwidth, and functional complexity.
Ethernet and AUTOSAR Today and the Future
Mentor AUTOSAR is spreading as an industry-standard mechanism for ECU design information exchange, and design methodology. This session looks at current production Ethernet and AUTOSAR examples, and the future trends with Adaptive AUTOSAR, and support for a wide range of ECU design and vehicle network technologies
How Electrification of the Powertrain is Revolutionizing Design Processes and Tools
Powertrain electrification is being driven by regulatory and market demands, creating specific challenges in the design process. This presentation will discuss these demands and how they are impacting the future of the automotive industry.
