Telelogic Rhapsody Now Available Through University Software Donation Program

Enhances Course Content and Helps Provide Students With Real-World Experience

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California - November 20, 2007 - (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) - College and university students can now move beyond
their text books when studying software modeling with the addition of the
Telelogic Rhapsody® Model Driven Development™ environment for embedded systems
and software to the company's University Software Donation Program. Schools
participating in the program can request Rhapsody and other Telelogic software
development product seat licenses for educational purposes."There is no substitution for hands-on learning and we are proud to be able to
provide computer science and engineering students access to our products," said
Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO of Telelogic. "Model Driven Development is
increasingly popular among embedded systems developers. With the addition of
Telelogic Rhapsody to our University Software Donation Program, students can
gain an in-depth and well-rounded education that will serve them well after
graduation."

One of the first schools to add Telelogic Rhapsody to its curriculum is the
American University of Sharjah (AUS) located in the United Arab Emirates. “This
donation of Telelogic's advanced software development products will enable us to
prepare our students for their professional careers with state-of-the-art tools.
Companies are looking for graduates versed in the latest technology. Telelogic
has helped us over the last few years to meet this need of industry,” said Dr.
Armin Eberlein, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Computer
Engineering. “Telelogic personnel helped us understand the software and worked
with us to define our unique needs. This enabled us to understand how we could
use Rhapsody to enhance our course content, and how it would fit into the
overall course structure and software engineering practices that we teach.” 
T Stands for “Training” in ASERT
The donation of Rhapsody complements the already existing academic use of
Telelogic products at educational institutions around the world. At the
University of Ottawa, Canada, for example, students use Telelogic DOORS® for
requirements management and Telelogic Tau® for Enterprise IT development. Both
products were donated to the Advanced Software Engineering Research and Training
(ASERT) group - a program that enables students to work on real-world advanced
software and systems engineering projects using Telelogic software. ASERT is a
partnership between Nortel Networks, the University of Ottawa, Carleton
University and Telelogic. ASERT was launched by Nortel and Telelogic in 1998
with donations of hardware and software, respectively.

The T in ASERT means “training” and through this program, Telelogic software is
used in the Computer Science, Software Engineering and Computer Engineering
programs at the undergraduate level and Computer Science at the graduate level
at the University of Ottawa. The students use Telelogic products for
requirements elicitation, modeling, validation, writing reports, as well as for
their thesis projects. 

“The students like working on real-world problems and business contexts,” said
Daniel Amyot, Associate Professor at the School of Information Technology and
Engineering (SITE) at the University of Ottawa. “It's challenging for them and
they enjoy the applied research. They also enjoy working with market-leading
products like those from Telelogic.”
