SESA at China Automotive Human - Machine Interaction Summit 2018
April 19- 20, 2018 - Crowne Plaza Shanghai Noah SquareShanghai / China, April 3, 2018 – this year’s China Automotive Human - Machine Interaction
Summit in Shanghai will focus on the status and development of automotive HMI technology inChina including HMI technology for autonomous vehicles, new interfaces for automotivenavigation, design of the middle control instrument system, latest HUD technologies and many
more. As an exhibitor of this unique summit, Socionext Embedded Software Austria (SESA) will
showcase its innovative HMI Design Tool “CGI Studio” as well as the latest hypervisor, functionalsafety and Android based technologies. The SESA team is looking forward to welcoming you atthe exhibition space in the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Noah Square, April 19 - 20, 2018. At ourbooth you will learn more about:
CGI Studio
CGI Studio is a scalable and hardware independent HMI and GUI design software for developing
digital instrument clusters, head-up displays, infotainment systems (IVI), rear seatentertainment and many more. The special USP of CGI Studio lies in the representation of 2D /3D display elements but it also includes features such as multilingualism, particularly
sophisticated safety functions and a reliable and worldwide customer service. Numerous
automotive manufacturers and suppliers worldwide rely on this innovative software tool.

Cecil Demo based on Hypervisor
One technology that helps to divide safety-critical attributes from infotainment and comfort
features into two heterogeneous systems is the hypervisor. This ensures that even if one systemfails, the other will continue to run unimpaired. Based on this principle Socionext Embedded
Software Austria and Mentor, a Siemens Business, have developed the “Cecil demo” ahypervisor-based multiscreen demo created with Socionext‘s HMI tool “CGI Studio” andembedded software components from Mentor.

Functional Safety
Functional safe user interfaces become more and more important for graphical user interfaces.
Socionext Embedded Software Austria and Mentor, a Siemens Business jointly developed asafety critical cluster design demo which shows an alternate approach to using a hypervisor. Thisdemo showcases safety separation between an advanced automotive cluster HMI application,
implemented using CGI Studio, and safety-critical digitally displayed tell-tale warning indicators.
This solution addresses the challenge of mixing safety-critical and non-critical information on asingle instrument cluster display while satisfying essential safety requirements for automotive
certification such as ISO 26262.
Android DemoThe use of “Nomadic Devices” or portable devices within the vehicle by a driver is increasing andwith it the importance that HMI tools can deal with these special platforms and operationsystems. At China Automotive Summit SESA will present an Android demo based on CGI Studioto prove that CGI Studio is ready for these „targets of the next generation“. The CGI Studio
Android demo will also include features like touch interaction or rotation changes. It also showsthat keeping flexibility in your projects and changing Hardware or Software platform can be veryeasy.

We are looking forward to welcoming you at our booth at China Automotive Human in Shanghai
and tell you more about our company and products.
