Configuration management capability added to MATRIXx product family.SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 1996--Integrated Systems, Inc. (ISI ISI International Sensitivity Index, see there ) (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : INTS INTS Interdisciplinary Studies INTS International Neurotrauma Symposium INTS Integrated NIMA Telecomm System INTS Improved Night Targeting System ), a leading supplier of embedded software Instructions that permanently reside in a ROM or flash memory chip. Embedded software may be immediately available to the CPU or, for faster execution, may be transferred to RAM first and then executed. solutions, announced that it has introduced a complete configuration management capability for its MATRIXx(R) design environment. The MATRIXx Configuration Management (CM) module delivers the power of large-scale, multi-user configuration management and version control to MATRIXx-based development projects. The new MATRIXx CM module is expected to reduce potential design errors and shorten development schedules by promoting design reuse and improving project team communication throughout the development process. The MATRIXx product family is the only complete solution for graphical design, simulation, automatic code and document generation and testing of real-time dynamic systems. The product family features SystemBuild(TM) for graphical modeling In probability theory, statistics, and machine learning, a graphical model (GM) is a graph that represents independencies among random variables by a graph in which each node is a random variable, and the missing edges between the nodes represent conditional independencies. and simulation, Xmath(TM) for object-oriented mathematical analysis Analysis has its beginnings in the rigorous formulation of calculus. It is the branch of mathematics most explicitly concerned with the notion of a limit, whether the limit of a sequence or the limit of a function. and visualization, AutoCode(R) for automatic C and Ada source code generation, DocumentIt(TM) for automatic document generation and the RealSim(TM) Series of rapid prototyping Building a part one layer at a time using a method of additive fabrication such as 3D printing. Such parts are used for concept modeling to determine if the product design meets the customer's expectations. computers. The MATRIXx family enables design engineers to take a project through every step of the design process, from concept development to final product design. The MATRIXx CM module is based on SNiFF+(TM), an object-oriented software development framework from TakeFive Software GmbH, an ISI subsidiary. SNiFF+ is an open multi-language environment for productivity and quality enhancement in the development of large complex software applications. The MATRIXx CM module will use the basic configuration control capability of SNiFF+ and can optionally be connected with other commercial configuration management products. The MATRIXx Product Family is increasingly being used in large control system development projects where configuration management capability for both design models and data is a requirement. "Many of our large users have asked for this function. The MATRIXx CM module is a powerful and easy-to-use tool for complete configuration management that should meet the needs of our leading customers in the automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation markets," said Naren Gupta, chairman of Integrated Systems, Inc. The MATRIXx CM Module The MATRIXx CM Module enables MATRIXx users to choose virtually any configuration management tool for managing MATRIXx models and data. The check-in and check-out of all MATRIXx data, including SystemBuild models, Xmath files, AutoCode C and AutoCode Ada files, is completely controlled through the MATRIXx CM module and the underlying configuration management tool. The integration of SNiFF+ with MATRIXx provides users with configuration management capabilities as a natural extension of the SystemBuild and Xmath user interfaces, allowing configuration management to be easily integrated into the development process. The MATRIXx CM module is based on the notion of a project, which is composed of interrelated in·ter·re·late tr. & intr.v. in·ter·re·lat·ed, in·ter·re·lat·ing, in·ter·re·lates To place in or come into mutual relationship. in files of various types. These files can be checked-in and out by different users, with the MATRIXx CM module keeping track of who has current write access to the file, and which files are checked-out. Historical tracking and version control are integral parts of the module. The MATRIXx CM module also defines dependency rules and provides automated "Make" support for projects which include MATRIXx data. For example, the MATRIXx CM module can be used with AutoCode to automatically generate and compile C or Ada code whenever SystemBuild source files have changed, without the user having to step through the AutoCode process. Pricing and Availability The MATRIXx CM module will be available for Windows(R) 95, Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. , and UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). during the first quarter of 1997, with Beta versions A pre-shipping release of hardware or software that has gone through alpha test. A beta version of software is supposed to be very close to the final product, but, in practice, it is more a way of getting users to test the software in the first place under real conditions. now available to selected users. The module is priced at $3,995 per workstation license and $2,995 for a node-locked PC license. Integrated Systems, Inc.
