SIListra Systems

Research focused on dependable systems in Dresden.

Silistra Systems markets and develops software products and services in the field of functional safety. Therefore we developed the Software Coded Processing technology. Our goal is the industry-wide protection of life and property through the detection of execution errors in "Embedded Systems". We increase safety and at the same time reduce costs. We want to set a standard for the markets. The introduction of technology through projects, the creation of safe software program variants using our tools and the sale of licenses are the focus of the company.

History

We are a Spin-off of the Systems Engineering chair at the TU Dresden. The chair, was founded in April 2004 by Prof. Christof Fetzer. The research focus of Prof. Christof Fetzer are "Dependable Systems" (Reliable Systems).
The development of "Software Coded Processing" started in early 2005 with the research by Dr. Ute Schiffel. She researched the detection of hardware errors using Software Encoded Processing and the evaluation of error detection capabilities. Since February 2011 she is at the School of Computer Science of Reykjavík University working on the verification of Software Encoded Processing. Since 2007 Dr. Martin Süßkraut contributed solutions for performance optimization and especially for the automatic parallelization for coded programs. In 2009 André Schmitt joined the research group with the focus on development and implementation of a more powerful code, which corresponds to the highest supported safety levels of Software Coded Processing.

Dr. Ute Schiffel, Dipl.-Medieninf. André Schmitt and Dr. Martin Süßkraut have driven these developments. They belong to the founding team of Silistra Systems.
In 2010 and early 2011, based on the research results, the products and services were created which are now available. This period also includs the application for EXIST funding.
At 01. November 2010 was the official launch of the technology transfer project. During this time Michael Heuschkel became an active part of the SIListra project. Because of his many years of practical experience in the economy he structures the parts administration and finances. In SIListra Systems he takes responsibility for these parts. The transfer period extends over 18 months and is funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and EXIST with €350,000. The foundation is planned for Q4-2011.
