AbsInt provides unique development tools for embedded systems, with a focus on validation, verifi­cation and certifi­cation of safety-critical software.

The company’s main areas of expertise include verified compilation, proving the absence of runtime errors and invalid concurrent behavior, and static analysis of the worst-case execution time and stack usage.

AbsInt’s tools help ensure that your software is reliable, robust, and less expensive to produce within a shorter devel­opment cycle.

ACE Consulting provides top quality technical consultancy with an independent view, based on in-depth knowledge, personal commitment and technical versatility.

AFuzion is a boutique company focused on infusing technical knowledge. All Training, Gap Analysis, Whitepapers, Checklists, and Templates were developed and copyrighted by actual AFuzion personnel. Those copyrights were never transferred or sold to TekSci, Enea, HighRely, Atego, etc. Any companies using such are merely using our 10-30+ year old information while also violating copyright law if they removed the author’s name from those works. Why would anyone want 10-30+ year old technical information, or to use services from a company who misrepresents authorship and ownership? AFuzion: we created it. We own it. Updated continuously to the latest/greatest. ONLY from AFUZION.
