Why Quantified Insight in System Design is Required.

abstract Software education is mostly function-oriented. Techniques and formalisms are focused on system behavior. Software architects often don't have a quantified insight in problem domain or choosen solutions, although computers work internally with bits and bytes. This is a problem for IT systems in general, but is more so for embedded systems. Embedded systems interact with the physical world, which can be modeled quantitatively: energy consumption, speed, force, et cetera. This presentation addresses quantification of system and software design, illustrated by case examples.
