Day 3 - Software Development Processes with MATLAB and Simulink

on Friday, 29/05/2026, 9:00 am - 12:00 am, CET

Speaker: Dr.-Ing. Stefan Kerber, MathWorks

Professional software development relies on well-established practices that promote collaboration, maintainability, and clarity. These principles are equally valuable in graphical programming environments, though their implementation may differ.

In this workshop, begin with a simple signal processing example implemented in MATLAB®, following best practices in software development; then re-implement the example in Simulink®, applying techniques tailored to graphical modeling. Along the way, explore collaborative workflows using Git and GitHub and see how Simulink Test™ can be used to safeguard the algorithm.

This workshop is designed for researchers and students interested in applying software development best practices, such as testing, to their MATLAB scripts and Simulink models using modern development tools.
